5.0 out of 5 stars The Last Don May 18 2004
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I really liked this book. The reason I first got it was because I knew that Mario Puzo wrote the Godfather and I loved that movie. I decided to get the book, and I was not disappointed.
This book is about the workings of Cross DE Lena and the Clercuzio family. Cross and Dante are grandsons of the Don and they make a name for themselves. Cross owns a huge casino/hotel in Las Vegas, and Dante is the The number one hitman for the family. But when a family secret that the Don wants know one to know gets out, there becomes a huge war with in the Family.
This is a great book for anyone who likes action our who liked the Godfather. This book shows that after all these years Puzo can still write a great mafia story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Mafia Book by Puzo Feb 2 2004
By Jill Preston
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is the first Mario Puzo book I've read - and I know I'll read more of his! I thought it a great read every step of the way. Although long, every page/chapter moves nicely and it doesn't slow down. This book reminded me of a Sidney Shelton book (or maybe Jackie Collins' Lucky series.) Mario does a great job of detailing the hierarchy in the mafia and the powerplays that go on. Also, this is an epic in the sense it covers many years and many locations (NY, Las Vegas, LA). He intermingles the gambling establishment with Hollywood and the mafia - which makes for an interesting combination of corruption. A fascinating book!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Last Don Jan 7 2004
By Marta Maslowska
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The Last Don is a very detailed account of a mafia family. It is very interesting with everything that happens in the book; crime, sex, scandal, love, death, kidnapping, gambling.
This is not Puzo at his finest but the book is definitely intersting if you like mafia stories.
The young Don has to make many decisions while trying to capture the heart of a beautiful movie star.
The only thing that annoyed me about the book was the fact that there were so many characters, at times it was hard to follow who was who.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as The Godfather, but it has a similar feel
After reading The Godfather, which I loved, I was eager to read this as well. While it isn't quite as good as The Godfather, which would be pretty hard, it is still very good, and... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Soap opera about mob
I love "The Godfather" movies, so I decided to give this one a shot. I'm sure now - those movies are great only beacause Coppola directed them. Read more
