Wow, that’s really good. I’ve never read the book, but I may have to now!
Better in the sense that there are many small details in the book that couldn't possibly have been incorporated in the movie, for time reasons among others.
Mario Puzo was a very good writer.
I screwed up the transcription by not closing the "italics" tag after the word "splat."
BTW, I too am an Ayn Rand freak. I think I've read pretty much everything she ever wrote, including many if not all issues of The Objectivist. Also much of Nathaniel Branden's work, which kind of went off the rails when he married Barbara.
