...i'm about a third of the way into the last don and i can already tell it ain't the godfather. did puzo ever equal the godfather? he was on fire when he wrote it. the only thing that comes close that i know of is the godfather part 2 which he wrote/co-wrote with coppola. i like that the last don returns to the world of italian mafia and has impossibly powerful characters and gangsterism. the strokes are broad, not as finely precise as the godfather though, not realistic and the hollywood stuff that i've read slows it down. however, if you're looking for more mafia stuff you'll find it in the last don. curious to check out the show...
