The sequel to Puzo's epic and brutal Mafia classic The Godfather. Once again Puzo brings the history of the Corleone family to life.

Michael Corleone's exile in Sicily is ending, but on the instructions of his father, The Godfather, he must bring back to him the young man known as Salvatore Giuliano - if he can find him.

At sea amid the treacheries of a brutal and unfamiliar land, Michael must find a way through the labyrinthine deceits that surround him while Giuliano prepares himself for a final confrontation with Don Croce, capo di capi of the Sicilian Mafia.

A novel of explosive suspense, heroic action - and evil on an epic scale.

In the hands of Mario Puzo's brilliantly sinister talent, the listener comes to know again the terrible magic of the Mafia.

Initially I found the narration to be very poor. The delivery seemed too quick, with little expressiveness and the different character voices were poor. I think the audio has maybe been sped up at some point but I found slowing the speed down to x0.75 it sounded much better and I really grew into the story.

Stick with it

Brilliant story ruined by terrible narration. Very disappointing as the Godfather audio book had a much better Narrator.

Terrible Narration

The Narrator speaks way too fast play this at 0.80 speed for best result

The story is pretty good, it's very good actually. Recommended - although in the interests of honesty, not as highly as its outstanding prequel The Godfather. For those who have just finished The Godfather and are eager to crack onto 'book 2', this isn't exactly a sequal so much as a sort-of-linked parallel. It's a great story all the same and give it a go but consider the paper version... The real weak point in the Audible version is the narration unfortunately. It's not the main narrator, that side of things is fine (not brilliant but perfectly OK) but there are a number of voice actors for various characters and honestly these performances (and the recording quality) are simply ghastly...not in every instance admittedly but for the most part they really are bad and they do undoubtedly hinder things. The accents...oh the accents.

Good story, fair narrator, horrendous voice acting

Fantastic storytelling - kind of following on from The Godfather, but based entirely in Sicily, and with entirely new protagonists. It provides an insight into the Sicilian psyche - shaped by hundreds of years of subjugation - while telling the story of a band of renegades. Ruthless politics, greed, love and betrayal are all part of this absorbing story. *Warning* as others have mentioned, you cannot enjoy the story unless you reduce the narrator's hurried delivery. I set it to x0.85 and it was perfect!

Great story, but reduce the playback speed!
