The Last Don is a return to the pure mythic storytelling form that made The Godfather one of the bestselling novels ever * The Sunday Times * All of Mr Puzo's formidable storytelling talents are on display... a big, fast-paced tale * New York Times Book Review * This is a story of love, lust, loyalty and betrayal. It reeks of violence and cynicism. It is about a world without integrity where everybody has a price ... and it is written with such pace and conviction that it is totally believable * The Mail on Sunday *
