About this listen

The sequel to Puzo's epic and brutal Mafia classic The Godfather. Once again Puzo brings the history of the Corleone family to life.

Michael Corleone's exile in Sicily is ending, but on the instructions of his father, The Godfather, he must bring back to him the young man known as Salvatore Giuliano - if he can find him.

At sea amid the treacheries of a brutal and unfamiliar land, Michael must find a way through the labyrinthine deceits that surround him while Giuliano prepares himself for a final confrontation with Don Croce, capo di capi of the Sicilian Mafia.

A novel of explosive suspense, heroic action - and evil on an epic scale.

In the hands of Mario Puzo's brilliantly sinister talent, the listener comes to know again the terrible magic of the Mafia.

Enjoyed the story but it would have been so much better if Larry Brandenburg had not read so fast. He would’ve been a credit working for air-traffic control where they speak a mile a minute! It was like listening to a menu being read, there was no feeling to his reading and nowhere near as good as the narrator of The Godfather. The rest of the cast were excellent.

A good story

I listened to the godfather, narrated by joe Mantegna and it was great, I have also read the Sicilian before and it's a great story. However the narrator on this audio track is absolutely not suited for this book, he simply talks to fast, meaning the story impossible to truly follow. I think of it as a great shame that such a great book, is narrated so poorly. Perhaps if the book was re-recorded by somebody like joe, it would be a much greater listen.

Bad narration, great story

The Italian accents are similar to Joey Tribiani from friends comical Italian accent. Apart from that it’s worth a listen.

The book is good but the accents!!

This story fits neatly into The Godfather saga sharing several characters, not only covering Michael Corleone's lost years in Sicily but the life of another equally charismatic character. Puzo's style remains the same.
The performance is pacy but clear, subtly enhanced, in the most-part, by additional voices for the main characters.

Great book, Superbly produced

Having read some bad reviews about this book and the narration, I wasn't expecting this audio book to be as good as the first one. But am glad I got it. To really enjoy It you shouldn't really treat it as a sequel as the story is such a long way off the original, try and see if we a stand alone novel because aside from cameo appearances the original cast don't feature. The story Line is good and I would liked to have seen some more filling out off some of the escapades, it was still an excellent listen and would recommend you give it a chance.
