Ed Falco: The Family Corleone

[Anamnesis]

Even though The Godfather Part II revealed much about the Corleones' past, don't expect that to stop publishers from releasing a Godfather prequel.

How did "The Godfather's" Vito Corleone become Don Corleone? A new prequel to the best-selling novel aims to answer that question. (Well, presumably whatever questions are still left after "Godfather II.")

"The Family Corleone," to be published by Grand Central Publishing, will be based on an unproduced screenplay written by "Godfather" author Mario Puzo, who passed away in 1999.

This novel will be written by novelist and playwright Ed Falco (who also happens to be the uncle of former "Sopranos" star Edie Falco, according to the Los Angeles Times.)

I tried reading one of the Godfather spinoff novels released a few years ago. It wasn't pretty. At least this book has a chance at being okay since it's based on an unfinished work from Mario Puzo himself.

So far, reviews are favorable.
