About this listen
Tyrant, blackmailer, racketeer, murderer - his influence reaches every level of American society. Meet Don Corleone, a friendly man, a just man, areasonable man. The deadliest lord of the Cosa Nostra. The Godfather.
A modern masterpiece,The Godfather is a searing portrayal of the 1940s criminal underworld. It is also the intimate story of the Corleone family, at once drawn together and ripped apart by its unique position at the core of the American Mafia. Still shocking 40 years after it was first published, this compelling tale of blackmail, murder, and family values is a true classic.

Masterpiece - Stand-Alone for Puzo's Work
This was an excellent listen, in particular because of the amazing addition of Joe's voice tackling the tones, accents and characteristics of everyone in this book like an absolute boss.
If you read this and want to move onto the second book (The Sicilian) be prepared for disappointment in the quality of the delivery, because Joe sets such a high standard with this book that the others are not in the same league.

Classically brilliant!
The book is always better than the movie and this one is no exception. Mantegna is outstanding and I’ve relished every word. To those who have never read the book or watched the movie, a five star recommendation, and to those who have... do it again, it is a dateless classic...

Thanks Fat Tony
I’ve read this book at least a dozen times over the years, but the joy I got from hearing Joe’s voice telling the story is beyond words. Amazing

One of the best narrated books ever
Please Listen do yourself a favour. One of the best narrated books. I have read the book twice but I enjoyed this more than the book.
This audio book did justice to this classic!

Don't put it off!
The narrator is "Fat Tony" from the Simpsons, this alone makes it a pleasure listening to what is an epic tale of love, loyalty, betrayel and murder. I have never seen the movies and I had no intention of reading or listening to the book until it showed up in the daily deal, that was a mistake, I should have enjoyed this tale much sooner. The story has certainly left an impression on me, the author makes the reader feel like they are in the thick of the adventure. Highly recommended!

Gets better with age
I first read this book in 1972. I loved it then. I saw the movie which was very faithful to the book. I have just listened to thus audio book some 47 years later and it’s is every but as good as my original read. Well done Mario Puzo! Well read Joe Mantegna and congratulations to Audible for the production. Some stories never age!
