Ilustration As Books Omerta (Mario Puzo's Mafia)

To Don Raymonde Aprile's children he was a loyal family member, their father's adopted "nephew." To the FBI he was a man who would rather ride his horses than do Mob business. No one knew why Aprile, the last great American Don, had adopted Astorre Viola many years before in Sicily; no one suspected how he had carefully trained him ... and how, while the Don's children claimed respectable careers in America, Astorre Viola waited for his time to come. Now his time has arrived. The Don is dead, his murder one bloody act in a drama of ambition and deceit --- from the deadly compromises made by an FBI agent to the greed of two crooked NYPD detectives and the frightening plans of a South American Mob kingpin. In a collision of enemies and lovers, betrayers and loyal soldiers, Astorre Viola will claim his destiny. Because after all these years, this moment is in his blood ...

Appraise Of Books Omerta (Mario Puzo's Mafia)

Far less charming and inferior in terms of plot and characterization , this novel by Mario Puzo is still an atempt to foreshadow the Sicilian code of silence. lets the sky fall , but dare not speak about your family , friends or even foes , in front of anyone. A Fine read but still way inferior as compared to Godfather.

great book by mario puzo, if you like godfather, you should read this book...a story of mafioso family...what i like about italian mafia is their loyalty to the family, they will do anything for their family even they must kill somebody for that...

I honestly think this wasn't Puzo. if you love him don't read this one . its a very ordinary book nothing like The Godfather or The Sicilian

I'm surprised by some of the low ratings this book has received. To me, it has all the elements of a classic Puzo tale. Mafia intrigue and flashbacks, treachery, a budding yet damaged love story and ruthless characters on both sides of the law. I really loved it! Astorre Viola is up there with Cross Clericuzio as one of my favourite Puzo characters. Quirky, qualified and never quite what he seems. Yes, some of the prose is 'dumbed down' from some of his earlier work (put down to the fact the

This is the second book that I have read by Mario Puzo, and it was thoroughly enjoyable. Like "The Sicilian", it uses fiction to give the reader insight into the workings of the Mafia. It begins slowly and gradually builds up to a giddying pace. The 'hero' of the book is Astorre Viola, who has much to do to save the honour of Don Raymonde Aprile, his uncle who adopted him as a small child in Sicily. Raymonde is murdered in cold blood, and Astorre decides that his death must be avenged. As the

I finished this book a few days ago and I still don't know how I feel about Astorre Viola. With Omerta, Puzo re-envisions the Mafia Don in a world where old Mafioso traditions have wasted away. Ideas of honor and nobility, of executing uncompromising and unforgiving justice, of self-righteousness and God or King complexes, have all but disappeared. Things such as greed and unnecessary accumulation of power have now taken their place at the table. Astorre Viola discovers his roots in those old
