The Godfather IV portrays the rise of Robert Corleone (the protagonist) to power, as well as the remarkable transformations in his volatile life; from a decent, warmhearted young man, a brilliantly preeminent student, to a brutish streetfighter, and a coldblooded murderer, who eventually becomes the head of the most powerful mafia family in the whole world.

Read these stories with a bit of seriousness, forget age, keep no prejudice and bias and laugh heartily. Yes, it goes without saying, don't try to make any sense out of it at all.

Read alone. Once a serious minded friend of mine read these stories at night and he forgot his consciousness and started to laugh heartily while holding his own belly. With that, his wife woke up and was shocked to see his condition. But this did not listen and did not stop laughing. Finally the doctor had to be called. So be careful.
