Interpretation During Books The Last Don (Mario Puzo's Mafia)

The last don is Domenico Clericuzio, a wise and ruthless man who is determined to see his heirs established in legitimate society but whose vision is threatened when secrets from the family's past spark a vicious war between two blood cousins. This is a mesmerizing tale that takes us inside the equally corrupt worlds of the mob, the movie industry, and the casinos - where beautiful actresses and ruthless hit men are ruled by lust and violence, where sleazy producers and greedy studio heads are drunk with power, where crooked cops and desperate gamblers play dangerous games of betrayal, and where one man controls them all.

Criticism Containing Books The Last Don (Mario Puzo's Mafia)

11/24/16 Through the Night Stig Saeterbakken ***** What an amazing mysterious lyrical dreamy contemplative novel. Unlike anything I've ever read. A man faces his demons in "the house where hopes turn to dust". Wonderful. This book is pretty pulpy (which is a good thing), but the writing quality is awful. I've always been a sucker for mafia things, and there was enough action here to keep things moving along despite the stilted amateurish style. I may read one or two more of Puzo's books, but he

Similar to the book of the godfather, however, there is no need to read the godfather first. The hardest thing about reading the book is keeping track of all the characters. It is a very good read and I am looking forward to finishing the book. So far, not the best gangster book I have read but it has a lot of competition.

This is a novel based on a twenty-five year multi-generational effort by a mafia family to go legitimate. It is colored by an old war between two families with a touch of Romeo and Juliet and a fued between two cousins with completely different approaches to life and the family. Just as good as the Godfather.

Last book by the last don himself.Very very well written Full of surprises. Loved it, excellent form.

Weak and long-winded. I understand that ever Puzo's book will be compared to Godfather and judged by its standard, but this book is weak even without that comaprisson. The premise of the book is that Don Clericuzio wants to retire from mafia business and "go legit" and how he does that. In book's opening he announces this intention to the family, wishing that his children, and nephew will start legitimate businesses and their children reap the benefits.So far so good but then the story splits

One of those books that I found are difficult to read but touch a nerve. I have read this more than three times if I rememeber, and once in Urdu. Having read the God Father, I just loved this one. Mario's books (All of the two I have read) have a capability to make you restless with the sheer amount of violence. Not recommended for faint-hearted.
