Yes, 'The Godfather'. How can one miss it?

Initially I wanted to read the book. That's what I did. However, I was told (and not only by one person) that the movie adaption is better than the book itself, which is very rare nowadays. So, after completing this cool gangsta novel, I went to compare the two. Here are my thoughts:

The book is God. It explores many storylines which may run parallel, or one after the other. I love that. Same technique is used in the 'Pulp Fiction' movie. So, the story presented many instantly recognizable characters with their own perspectives, ideas and objectives. The plot is fast moving. It moves even afterwards you may think that the story could have come to a halt. I love that, too. The genre, crime, is at its best.

The movie is also fantastic. It was able to show 99.9% of all events in a not very fast pace and was filmed perfectly. But I'm not here to discuss it. Just know that it is worth watching.

I would personally recommend the book to everyone that loves Westerns, crime, detective and thriller stories. But don't forget to watch the movie afterwards:)

I have actually admired the book. I have started reading Stephen King's 'Wolves of the Calla' after 'The Wind Through the Keyhole' and wanted some sort of advancement in the story afterwards (because you can consider 'The Wind Through the Keyhole' to be a "huge flashback"). Anyways, the thing that stands out about this fantasy novel is that it has 3 story arches. The 'Wolves', 'Todash', and it accommodated another book - 'Salem's Lot' (written by S. King, too). I can argue that the 'Wolves' story is much more local on scale than I wanted it to be, but that is okay because S. King has introduced an engaging concept to his 'Dark Tower' metaverse ('Todash'). The book opens huge grounds for further novels to explore, which probably will give a boost to the following books (I have not read them yet).

To sum up, the book was interesting because of its concepts. It does not present a masterpiece, but builds a ground for further novels. If you have started to read 'The Dark Tower' AND you have spare time (the book isn't shallow at all), then why not read it?

The nine stories collected in 'I, Robot', written by Isaac Asmov, presented me an alternative reality from ours and how it got developed. The book is rather an engaging read because it covers the human interaction with robots... from different "eras", made for different purposes, and used for various objectives. Apart from that, it was interesting for me to observe how different characters were developing in response to the world surrounding them.

Asimov introduced a fabulous concept of an alternative reality where the technological progress would be based upon positronic brains. The book is perfect for those that love science fiction and for those, that would like to try to read something new (that would not be too complicated to understand and too long to read).
