【图书简介】 It’s a tough act to follow, but somebody had to do it. Writing The Godfather is a job worthy of "Don" Vito Corleone himself, yet the task fell to novelist Winegardner, head of the creative writing program at Florida State University. Critics rarely know what to make of a new author taking over a classic work, and The Godfather Returns is no different. Some call this sequel brilliant, and praise Winegardner’s conscientious research, plot clarification, compelling new characters (like Francesca, one of Sonny’s twin daughters), and "panoramic and cinematic" writing (Minneapolis Star Tribune). Other critics argue that no author, Puzo or anyone else, can capture Al Pacino’s inner expression—this may be a case where the movie will forever trump the novel. Some even call the sequel bland, visionless, and undramatic. Since it’s the Corleones, expect the usual pulp thrills.-读书网|DuShu.com
