The Sicilian

De: Mario Puzo

Narrado por: full cast

Michael Corleone is returning to the U.S. after the two-year exile to Sicily in which listeners left him in The Godfather. But he is ordered to bring with him the young Sicilian bandit, Salvatore Guiliano, who is the unofficial ruler of northwestern Sicily. In his fight "to make Sicilians free people", the young folk hero, based on the real-life Giuliano of the 1940s, has made both the police and the Mafia his enemies. So when Don Croce Malo, chief of the Sicilian Mafia, and the policemen who has been tracking Guiliano each offer to help Corleone find the elusive Robin Hood, betrayal seems inevitable.

Mario Puzo has created a sequel to The Godfather that is every bit as compelling and dramatic. But The Sicilian is a distinct literary achievement in its historical inspiration and its vivid portrait of Sicilian peasant life.©2001 Mario Puzo (P)2009 Brilliance Audio, Inc.

Excellent story, horrendous recording

I am glad I made it through the entire book, but it was in doubt multiple times. From the robotic main narrator to the Don sucking wind after every other word, the absolute worst was the actor who voiced Michael. Rather than a reserved thoughtful cunning character, he sounded like a street kid from Boston. Almost requested a refund a few times but liked the story a lot. I would recommend the book but NOT this audiobook.

great book!

I enjoyed every moment!
it was a good story. very well performed.
can't wait to read the next one in the series.

terrible narration

story was okay, but the main narrator was awful. the character narrators were pretty good.

disappointed

I'm a huge fan of the Godfather. I was disappointed with this story. I thought it was anticlimactic.

Great story / horrible narration

I loved the story but the narrator was much too fast and no emotion at all. Unfortunate because the story is too good to be read with no emotion
