It is unfair to compare "The Last Don" with "The Godfather" because "The Godfather" was in, and still remains, in a class all by itself. That being said, The Last Don is still a first-class, engaging and entertaining read.

If you liked the Godfather series, this book is a must. I personally lost interest in it, but that doesn't mean you will.

This was for my 18 year old son - he said it was somewhat slow and liked the others better than this one.

I hate to be one of those people that say "the movie was better" but to me the movie was better. I found the book slow and I losr interest quickly. I ended up just skipping around and reading certain parts. It is very well written though and if you like mafia/mob stories, I don't really, then you'll love it.
