- i never read the original novel but apparently it was pretty pulpy. Coppola's genius was turning it into something more Shakespearean -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 20, 15:46 3
  - Mario Puzo wrote a Damn good book, others stuff of his was good to, makes a good read, ie the sicilian -- nm - Big Zebowgeiski Jan 20, 16:25
  - I didn't think it pulpy but definitely less than the movie. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 20, 16:00 1
