Came in to say The Godfather. It reads like a cheap dollar store pulp novel, which maybe what it was. I don't mind the constant references of bowels being loosened, because it's realistic at least and shows another way how murder is nasty. Michael has to go to the bathroom before he The graphic sex scenes, Lucy's big vagina, and the chapters about Johnny Fontaine and his partner Nino were all unnecessary. I still say it's worth a read because not only do we get the main GF story with a slightly different ending, we get more backstory too and only like half of it was used in GF Part 2. We get more backstory with Vito, how Sonny starts working for the family and how different he is from his father, and the horrible backstory of Luca Brasi and why he has such a reputation. Also, some of the James Bond movies are better than the books mainly The Spy Who Loved Me, which only has Bond appear halfway through the book. --- http://i.imgur.com/hslUvRN.jpg When I sin I sin real good. ...

Glob posted... People will hate me for saying this but Lord of the Rings. Even though the LotR movies made changes / omissions from the book that I didn't like, they definitely came the closest to being an adaption that equaled or surpassed the source material in terms of my personal enjoyment. The question I always ask myself is "would I rather re-read the book or re-watch the movie?" In the case of something like Watchmen, Scott Pilgrim, or ASoIaF / Game of Thrones, I'd rather re-read the book. With LotR, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't pick the movies 9 times out of 10. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read https://imgur.com/1WshTZu - by DB_Insider https://imgur.com/eW67nT8 - by Wii_Shaker ...
