I hope you will also upvote the better reviews of the Bond novels on that website. In my experience some of the top-voted reviews for various Fleming novels on Goodreads have been absolute trash. (YOLT's top-voted review was a review of the film--grrrrr!!) At least with Amazon reviews there isn't a cult of personality surrounding the reviewers. But on Goodreads if someone is popular their friends will upvote all their reviews, despite not having read the book.
I have finished The Godfather's Revenge. While better than The Godfather Returns, it didn't get good until the second half.
My ranking for The Godfather book series:
1 The Godfather by Mario Puzo
2 The Family Corleone by Ed Falco
3 The Sicilian by Mario Puzo
4 The Godfather's Revenge by Mark Winegardner
5 The Godfather Returns by Mark Winegardner
All recommended though.

Your thoughts on Colonel Sun?
Afraid I don’t agree with that, but one I’ll definitely reread again at a later date.
Next reread I think I’ll put the Horowitz books in their timeline, and not as I am doing here as published.
Still at least I’ve got Horowitz’s two to look forward to.
In Fiction I just completed Forever and a Day. I really enjoyed it and would rank it slightly higher then Trigger Mortis. I really liked the dynamic between Sixtene and Bond. I was constantly imagining Connery as Bond for some reason. I would recommend it if you haven't read it yet.
Maybe because Anthony Horowitz pictured when he was writing it, according to him! With a dash of Craig.
No dash of Craig just pure Connery. When I first started reading Fleming I never knew about the movies but on the back of each book was the lean drawing of Sean Connery's 007. I have never ever imagined anybody else when reading the books.
What next?
One of Sir Roger's books ?
