The book does a good job of showing how Vito built his organization bit by bit. He quietly amassed power without doing a lot of killing. He was feared, and that was enough.

    The main things I remember from the book is the whole going to mattress thing being literal and how it had a legit arc about the mistress and her vagina deformation.

    Most people agree that the movie was much better than the book

    Can I get a tldr on the vagina deformation?

    In both the movie and the book, its mentioned that Sonny has a big penis.

    In the book, the mistress stays in a toxic relation with him because her vagina is super wide (which she didn't realize was abnormal) and Sonny was the only man who could make her orgasm. Then there was some problematic stuff about a surgeon who realizes her problem and fixes it so that he could be the first to enjoy the new vagina.

    In the movies, she ends up having a child, who is Andy Garcia's character in the third movie. Michael feels responsible for him because he finds out about this nephew he never knew he had.
