The Family (The Last Novel By The Author)(Paperback)

Very entertaining! Based on a Mario Puzo screenplay and authorized by Puzo's estate, it is written in a similar style as The Godfather. There is a lot of focus on Sonny and Luca Brasi. It does a good job of conveying what it was like growing up in the Corleone family.

The Family is a 2001 novel written by Mario Puzo. The novel is about Pope Alexander VI and his family. Puzo spent over twenty years working on the book off and on, while he wrote others. The novel was finished by his longtime girlfriend, Carol Gino. The Family is effectively his last novel. Many of its characters were real people, including Niccolò Machiavelli, Duarte Brandão and members of the Borgia Family.
