| The Last Don | comment |
The Last Don is a 1997 novel by Italian-American author Mario Puzo, author of The Godfather and its film adaptations, as well as The Sicilian. Despite this, and despite the fact that it prominently features The Mafia, Las Vegas and Horrible Hollywood, The Godfather and The Last Don are very different novels.The story follows aging Sicilian-American Mafia Don Domenico Clericuzio and his family, and their quest to stay in power at all costs.The Last Don received a TV miniseries based on it the year it was written, which itself received a sequel, The Last Don II, in 1998. | |

Break the Cutie | |
| The Last Don / int_4b316d47 | comment |
Break the Cutie: Poor Rose Marie... Her cousin Pippi and her brothers murder her new husband right in front of her on her wedding night as vengeance for the murder of their brother Silvio. Right after Pippi promises to make peace between the families. She also realizes that they were considering offing her too, in order to Leave No Witnesses. Her father, of course, ordered the whole thing, including giving them permission to kill her if necessary. Rose Marie's mind completely breaks after this and she frequently has violent fits, a contrast to her usually sweet and gentle nature. Then Cross murders her son Dante, and Don Clericuzio allows the body to never be found. To ass to that, in The Last Don II she finally finds friendship and the prospect of a new start with Father Luca, but he is sent away and dies in a rebellion in Ireland. | |

| The Last Don / int_87bb6874 | comment |
Villain with Good Publicity: Jim Losey is a California detective who is considered by journalists to be a fearless defender of law and order, almost a "super detective", and there are plans to make a movie based on some of his cases. But he is actually a corrupt policeman who works for the Clericuzio, as well as being horribly racist. | |

Star-Crossed Lovers: Rose Marie Clericuzio and Jimmy Santadio are the most decent members of their respective families and are very much in love, unfortunately, these are mafia families that are in an open war between themselves. However, they both believe that their love -and a pregnancy- can end the war and unite both families, so they decide to marry in a great ceremony... and everything ends tragically for both of them. | |
