Publisher Description

Michael Corleone is returning to the U.S. after the two-year exile to Sicily in which reader left him in

The Godfather.

But he is ordered to bring with him the young Sicilian bandit, Salvatore Guiliano, who is the unofficial ruler of northwestern Sicily. In his fight "to make Sicilians free people," the young folk hero, based on the real-life Giuliano of the 1940's, has made both the police and the Mafia his enemies. So when Don Croce Malo, chief of the Sicilian Mafia, and the policemen who has been tracking Guiliano each offer to help Corleone find the elusive Robin Hood, betrayal seems inevitable.

Mario Puzo has created a sequel to The Godfather that is every bit as compelling and dramatic. But The Sicilian is a distinct literary achievement in its historical inspiration and its vivid portrait of Sicilian peasant life.

"I read The Godfather first which led me to The Sicilian which I enjoyed in a different way than The Godfather because it was about a Guy who decides to become somebody no matter what the cost. He took on the Godfathers of Sicily and gained their respect but more than that the respect of the people. "

    " I liked the Sicilian..The movie (made for TV) was a dud. Kind of a "Robin Hood" tale. Always enjoy the way Puzo paints a vivid image of Italy, and in this case, Sicily. Typical themes of conspiracy, corruption, loyalty, but somehow only Puzo can do it like this.. "

    " Loved this book as a fun read - which is why no higher stars... Rating is so hard! But I would say it's a 5-star fun read, but not a 5-star knock-me-on-my-butt amazingness like I rated Les Mis or something... hence the 3 stars. Plus it takes place in Sicily, different culture, etc. It was fun. "

    " This is an unbelievable journey into Sicily and the makings of where the mafia began and it's original purpose. Mario Puzo really makes you feel like you present in the story watching it unfold instead of reading words on a page. "
