"Each Don wants to be the last, wants his descendants to merge, after his death, into American respectability....How could we ever tire of such a figure?" "'The Godfather' kicked off with a wedding; 'The Last Don', breaking completely new ground, begins with a christening. The year is 1965, and a Lear-like Don is allotting future duties to his sons: Petie will go into construction, Vincent into the restaurant trade. The eldest, Giorgio, will take over from his father, although I secretly think that he will go to Beverly Hills and made perfume." "Puzo's seventh novel, a monstrously gripping quasisequel to 1969's 'The Godfather'....Fabulously well-plotted; drunk on luxury." "Many have probably written this before, but the success of Puzo's Mafia tales is rooted not in crime at all, but in the love of family. Even when family members act evilly to each other, ultimately we are to excuse them. Mafia family values are all. This allows us to enjoy acts that normally we would despise--one of the guilty pleasures of fiction." AnnotationMario Puzo's novel--about Domenico, a Mafia don who wants to go legit, his Las Vegas nephew, Pippi, and Pippi's son, Cross--is a gripping mix of family loyalty, revenge, passion, murder, and the film industry. 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 familys past spark a vicious war between two blood cousins.
