changes but that’s common dealing with rapid increases in graphics, style, and the change of how much memory a game can have added into it.

The Godfather: The Godfather is non fiction novel written by Mario Puzo. According to me it one of the best books I have ever read, it is a highlight of my freshmen year at SJSU. It is obvious that, the hypothesis about the acceptance of the book is mainly because of the capability and understanding of the readers to analyze the epic writing style of the author.

r Puzo, After reading the book The Godfather, I was impressed by how you can perform the ups and downs of the plot. Even a very outraged plot can be perfectly fair and reasonable. Every emotion, all the killings, and all the vulgar relationships can be coherent with every character you portrayed.

When Mario Hernandez and I had agreed to go to the Military Ball as friends, I honestly did not know what precise reaction to have. “You’re paying for your seat as I’m paying for mine, deal?” he politely asked. The only thing I can clearly remember was being content knowing I did not have to be paired up with some random guy that day. I had a date with a perspicacious, humorous, and indulgent guy.
