The Last Don is Mario Puzo at his finest, thrilling us with his greatest Mafia novel since The Godfather, a masterful saga of the last big American crime family and its powerful reach into Hollywood and Las Vegas.

Domenico Clericuzio, the wise and ruthless don of a mafia empire, is determined to see his heirs established in legitimate society. But this 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.

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Nakib Hoq | 1/30/2014

    " Although Godfather has been lauded as Puzo's best work, I think The Last Don is even better than The Godfather. Although the theme is the old mafia feuds for the top position and of course the entertaining cult literature but what distinguishes the book from all of Puzo's works is the story. The story is quite different and worthy of mentioning. And like all Puzo books it ends with style! Literally! "

    " For some reason I liked the characters in this book. I begged my wife to allow us to name our son Cruicifixio or "Cross" because of this book. Yes it's a mob book but it's very different than the Godfather. It's more so about revenge and honor. "

A little too long for my liking though, if this had been cut to half it might still be as good. "

    " This is a good Puzo, although he is past his prime in this one. The twists in the plot are quite intriguing for a first-read. Puzo's narrative skills are reflected quite well. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Marian | 7/13/2010

    " I was hoping it would be more like the Godfather. But alas, it was more about the present day movie and gambling business. There were parts that were good, but the majority was just a mix of oddball characters that didn't add much to the story. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Andrula | 6/22/2010

    " If you enjoy reading mafia books, this is perfect for you. However, you might find it similar to The Godfather, Puzo's masterpiece.
    Since I love mafia plots, I found it great, and I wish Puzo had written more and more books about this topic "
