The Sicilian -- The Godfather, Part II (not the movie)

The SicilianThe Sicilian by Mario Puzo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My 2nd Puzo novel--this one being the 2nd volume in his Godfather Series. This book takes place completely in Sicily, and though it does include some of Michael Corleone's banishment to Sicily for his revenge on the attack on his father in NYC, that is not the focus of the book. This is about a "Robin Hood" character and his growing gang of dangerous gangsters--who live even outside the laws & protection of the Friends of the Family (or the Cosa Nostra or Mafia). Ultimately, it leads to their downfall. The eagle & the lion. I ended up having to borrow this one from the library twice--read it on my Kindle.
