Sophomore, Greg Noble, says the " authenticity of the characters and the development of the plot" is what makes Mario Puzo's The Godfather a great book. Published in 1969, the book revolves around a Sicilian mafia family in New York. Don Vito Corleone, the main character, became synonymous with mafia activity. In 1972 a movie version was created and recognized by many as the best Francis Ford Coppola movie ever made. Two sequels were created in 1974 and 1990.
