Summary

The Last Don is Mario Puzo at his finest - a masterful saga of the last great American crime family, the Clericuzios, and their powerful reach into Hollywood and Las Vegas.

Domenico Clericuzio is a wise and ruthless man who, in his old age, is determined to create a life free from criminal activities for his grandchildren. But as he strives to establish his heirs in legitimate society, secrets from his family's past spark a vicious and bloody war between cousins....

Not as strong as the others in the series

Not a bad story and very well read, but definitely not as strong as the previous two books.

Not the 3rd film

A good book that stands up with the fist two, and bears little resemblance to the third film.

Grand Opera.

Builds nicely over the decades. A great story with an epic ending reflecting modern America.

Back on form for Puzo

Better than the second Godfather book and maybe better than the first, but that will require a second reading to confirm which I will do.

The recording and performance is also much better than the second and is on par with the first Godfather book.

The story is also very interesting and involves a powerful criminal family and its business in Las Vegas.

Straight in to a very entertaining read. The narrator wasn’t grating like some. Loved it.
