The last Don

[akela]

I just went through Mario Puzo's "the last don". A wonderful book... kept me reading till i finished.
This man is a real wonder... the Italian values he quotes of so much sounds so Indian.. (like a single wife n faithfullness...family...etc)..but not that ruthlessness... Makes one actually like people who go around putting bullets in others.. makes you sort of like the underworld... a master story teller. comments?

Have also read godfather and the family.
please suggest some other novels which are of this calibre... maybe of any other novelist...
