Description	The Godfather Effect is a 2012 critically acclaimed study of the Godfather films - as well as Mario Puzo's novel - and their effect on American culture. Hollywood Reporter Wall Street Journal Written by biographer Tom Santopietro, the book demonstrates how The Godfather was a turning point in American cultural consciousness. With its emphasis on proud ethnicity, The Godfather changed not just the way Italian-Americans saw themselves, but how Americans of all backgrounds viewed their individual and national self-identities, their possibilities, and attendant disappointments.The Godfather Effect, p. 83; by Tom Santopietro; St. Martins Press pub.; February 2012, ISBN 978-1-250-00513-7The Godfather Effect had a broader philosophical dimension, as well. As noted by Santopietro, "what Puzo delivered - brilliantly - was nothing less than a disquisition on the madness, glory, and failure of the American dream."The Godfather Effect, p. 7; by Tom Santopietro; St. Martins Press pub.; February 2012, ISBN 978-1-250-00513-7 Early in the novel, Amerigo Bonasera declares “I believe in America.” The novel then depicts a nation where Mafia and big business are two sides of the same coin: both are corrupt, tell the truth selectively, and do exactly as they wish.The Godfather Effect, p. 81; by Tom Santopietro; St. Martins Press pub.; February 2012, ISBN 978-1-250-00513-7This insight is bluntly stated by Michael Corleone, who recommends that Italian-Americans “must learn from the philanthropists like the Rockefellers – first you rob everybody, then you give to the poor.”The Godfather Effect, p. 72; by Tom Santopietro; St. Martins Press pub.; February 2012, ISBN 978-1-250-00513-7
