Our Take: Who doesn't love the Godfather? Ok, plenty of women don't love the Godfather..but some do! No? Ok, maybe not. lol. My wife certainly isn't into it. Not even for the violence aspect, but it moves too slow for her. I feel differently about this famous trilogy and book series. This cult classic was due for something new on the book market, so when I saw the Annotated Godfather, I was sold before I even opened it. I am, therefore, admitting my immediate bias.
This book is the softcover version and it basically is the shooting script with page after page of full-color photos from the original film. Most pages also include behind the scenes trivia and information. Many of the images are from the film, but there are also plenty of behind the scenes candid images featuring the various actors on the Godfather. All 263 pages are chock-full of fantastic fanboy information.
If you're a fan of the Godfather, this book is for you. Looking for a present for that guy that is difficult to shop for? This is it.
