About this listen

The Last Don is Mario Puzo at his finest - a masterful saga of the last great American crime family, the Clericuzios, and their powerful reach into Hollywood and Las Vegas.

Domenico Clericuzio is a wise and ruthless man who, in his old age, is determined to create a life free from criminal activities for his grandchildren. But as he strives to establish his heirs in legitimate society, secrets from his family's past spark a vicious and bloody war between cousins....

Meh

I found the boom a bit long for the story. peaks and troughs in terms of interesting parts. performance was sound, but didn't feel very authentic, particularly after listening to the godfather performance.

Awesome story telling. A bit too crude though

the end was a bit rush and forced but the story telling makes you see the whole picture, understand the background and characters, however a bit poor with the "big Santadio war" that was actually rather short. Love Puzo's touch on food, describes it so well that makes you seek for a meal

Better than anticipated - Joe Barrett adds class

After doing The Godfather (excellent) and The Sicilian (ok story, poor performance) I didn't know what to expect with The Last Don - but despite having no link to the earlier books, this was a great journey and Joe Barrett has such a great voice that it elevates every character he reads.
