as far as books go, the Godfather was a page-turner, no more, no less. If you read other books, no matter how much you might have personally enjoyed the Godfather by Mario Puzo, it should be painfully clear that the book is not that fantastic as a book.
The movie, though?
It isn't just fanboy bullshit, the movie legitimately has a claim to the greatest movie ever made. Never in a million kazillion hojillion kukugajamabajillion fucking years would you ever say that about the book.
One of these things is not like the other. And it's the book. The book kinda sucks, but the movie is transcendent.
