About this audiobook

New York, 1933. The city and the nation are in the depths of the Great Depression. The crime families of New York have prospered in this time, but with the coming end of Prohibition, a battle is looming that will determine which organizations will rise and which will face a violent end.
For Vito Corleone, nothing is more important that his family's future. While his youngest children, Michael, Fredo, and Connie, are in school, unaware of their father's true occupation, and his adopted son Tom Hagen is a college student, he worries most about Sonny, his eldest child. Vito pushes Sonny to be a businessman, but Sonny-17 years-old, impatient and reckless-wants something else: To follow in his father's footsteps and become a part of the real family business.
An exhilarating and profound novel of tradition and violence, of loyalty and betrayal, The Family Corleone will appeal to the legions of fans who can never get enough of The Godfather, as well as introduce it to a whole new generation.

    This book was thoroughly "meh." I really wanted to like it, and really tried to get into it, but found it to be too much pushing to force these characters into who they are in the Godfather canon in too short a time.

    I also found the story of Luca in particular to be completely ridiculous. I found a majority of the scenes to have a heavy hand of Deus Ex Machina; no matter what tragic events occur, nearly every main character survives to be in The Godfather. Something always has to happen that gives an out in situations where we would expect death.

    The stuff with Luca is interesting and maybe a bit off putting, but everything with Sonny and Vito feels spot on. The story starts out with Michael at 13, and takes place a bit before the Corleone family has come into its power.
