I was looking forward to this book, since I am interested in the Borgia family & Renaissance Italy, and I figured that Mario Puzo would treat it well. I have to say I was a little bit disappointed. Once I read the afterword, it seems that Puzo's wife finished this novel after his death. Perhaps that is why I kept stumbling over the phrase "And so it was..." CONSTANTLY...not too well written.
The characters are very well drawn and even minor characters in the Borgia world are fleshed out, which enhances the story. I also found the treatment of Cesare and Rodrigo (Pope Alexander) to be very forgiving, but that is what makes this novel different from most.
If you are a Puzo fan or are very interested in the Borgia clan, I would recommend this, otherwise I would pass.
