Book Reviews of The Last Don
Book Review: 3 1/2 stars - not bad but not great either
Summary: 3 Stars
In The Last Don, Puzo again delves into the realm of organized crime families. He spins a tale of the aging Don of a powerful New York crime family who yearns-and plans-for a day when future generations of his family can transition from the world organized crime to that of legitimate enterprise. As the story unfolds, the Don, who is at the same time a strategic thinker and a ruthless tactician, attempts to influence people and events in order to realize his long-term vision. Along the way, Puzo lays out a wide range of colorful, although stereotypical, characters in a story that brings a variety of disparate storylines together as the book progresses. Puzo effectively moved back and forth from the present to the past to provide depth and understanding. In the end though, the book never really grabbed me or prompted any sleep deprivation due to late nights spent reading. The Last Don was definitely not great, but not bad either.
