Product Description

Book Description

After Mario Puzo wrote his internationally acclaimed The Godfather, he has often been imitated but never equaled. Puzo's classic novel, The Sicilian, stands as a cornerstone of his work--a lushly romantic, unforgettable tale of bloodshed, justice, and treachery. . . .

The year is 1950. Michael Corleone is nearing the end of his exile in Sicily. The Godfather has commanded Michael to bring a young Sicilian bandit named Salvatore Guiliano back with him to America. But Guiliano is a man entwined in a bloody web of violence and vendettas. In Sicily, Guiliano is a modern day Robin Hood who has defied corruption--and defied the Cosa Nostra. Now, in the land of mist-shrouded mountains and ancient ruins, Michael Corleone's fate is entwined with the dangerous legend of Salvatore Guiliano: warrior, lover, and the ultimate Siciliano.


From the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sadding, May 19 2004

This review is from: The Sicilian (Mass Market Paperback)
While this book was great from beginning to end; I only read 1 other book from Mario Puzo the omerta but this is even better, the plot the detail in each way and the ending is the best. If you like any mystery I would recommend you get this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing better for a Puzo fan!, Mar 19 2004
By Hsoj Yensid "Hsoj" (Fort Collins, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sicilian (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is truly amazing. It is, albeit, a slow read, but it really gives you insightinto thesuffering of Sicily, which Mario Puzo obviously feels a passion for.
These 410 pages of genius are about Salvatore Guiliano, a Sicilian bandit, who is against any authority that prevents the poor from getting a loaf of bread. Amongst these authorities are the government, the italian police, and the mafia, who continually 'wet their beaks' in the poor's money. He is willing to kill for the plight of the poor, and also for the boosting of his own ego.
Michael Corleone, son of Don Vito Corleone from New York, (godfather) is nearing the end of his two year exile in Sicily. (This carries over from the middle of the book the Godfather) and is awaiting the trip home, when his father tells him he is to rescue Salvatore Guiliano at all costs, but he has but a week.
This book, unlike numerous other Puzo novels hardly glorifies the mafia and their ways, as Guiliano is against the Black Hand taking away what little the poor of Sicily have.
All in all, this book is fantastic, and it is great for a lazy day where you can simply sit and read.

5.0 out of 5 stars a classic novel with little/no accolades, Dec 25 2003
By Dr. Hoa Tran "mtrizzle" (desert porchy) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Sicilian (Mass Market Paperback)
after reading the godfather, i wanted to read more of mario puzo's work. and, after being told that there was a sequel to the godfather, the sicilian, i decided to purchase it. To my surprise, this book had absolutely nothing to do with the movie - the godfather part 2 - and barely did it follow the story of michael corleone. It instead re-told the story of a real-life hero - salvatore guiliano - the troubles he encountered and the daily adventures he had to endure. Dont pick this book up expecting a godfather sequel, because it is far from it... but it is truly a classic novel in my eyes. Im sure you'd like it if you liked the godfather. Buy it fashizzles
