The Book Review of The Godfather


I think that The Godfather is one of the best novels I read. This book really shocked me at first, because the plot in this novel is full by violence and sex. The way they fixed the problem in their “business” made me to come out the goose bumps. But the more I read, the more I was attracted to it. The story of novel itself was organized in a flashback style. I think that the start of the novel rang true, and it helps reader to get a feeling that all the things in the book are real. I like the Climax of the novel, which is Michael went to a restaurant and killed Sollozzo. But I don’t like the ending of the story. If I were Michael, I would choose to leave and go with Kay to a place where nobody knows me. I know it is impossible, because there is no safe place in the Mafia world. Personally, I got thinking from the novel, which is about the environment changing us. In the story, at first, Michael didn’t want touch his family “business”, at the end, he became a new Godfather. His father was shot; His brother was murdered; Even if he run away back to Italy, he still saw that his wife was died by a boom. Everything happened was made him changing. Unfortunately, what we can get from our parents is just physical characteristics, so we need learn our environment (society) from zero. In some situations, we cannot choose “fight of flight”, so what we can do?
