One of Puzo's best! Must read for Assassin's creed fans!
The story revolves around the life of Pope Alexander VI, and tells the story of the beginning of the true mafioso and the rise of the first Don. The way the novel tells of how the pope justifies his actions and how he truly believes them to be righteous, is a del...

True Puzo work
And this book is no different.. no less.
I loved it.The characters were beautifully formed and the story-line is gripping and touching. I loved Caesar Borgia.. my favourite.
For any one who has read Puzo's work, this last book of his, is an absolute gem.

Amazing read
1: Carol Gino was the long time companion of author Mario Puzo for 20 years until his death in 1999 and in 2001 completed his book “The Family.”
2: Nowhere does it say that the book was written by Gino, it was completed by her.
3: If the man died before he could finish his story, I would think Carol had the right to finish some thing her companion started.
4: The ending might not be Puzo ...

Not written by Mario Puzo!
He probably paid off the publication house and got Puzo's name on it. This happens a lot.. I am a die hard Puzo fan and couldnt really finish this book..
