I like The Godfather book, but the movie was far superior. Some of the background information about characters was more interesting in the book, like Luca Brasi being a total monster and Al Neri’s former life as a cop. But other parts like Lucy’s mega-vagina problem, Sonny’s big schlong and Johnny Fontaine’s problems with his love life struck me as prurient and pointless.

The movie made the smart move by jettisoning these subplots.

The Forever War is one of the best Vietnam War novels ever…that just happens to be a science fiction novel that takes place in outer space.
