Setahun setelah melakukan aksi paling ganas dalam hidupnya, Don Domenico, sang pemimpin, memutuskan untuk mulai menarik diri dari dunia kejahatan, agar keturunannya dapat menjalani hidup sebagai orang baik-baik. Perlahan-lahan ia mengalihkan bisnis besarnya ke Hollywood dan Las Vegas, tempat uang bisa diperoleh secara sah. Namun ada bibit-bibit kejahatan dalam sejarah keluarga itu, yang disebar oleh sang Don sendiri. Dan pada puncaknya, nafsu jahat ini menimbulkan pertentangan antara Cross De Lena, putra algojo Keluarga Clericuzio, dengan Dante Clericuzio, cucu kesayangan sang Don yang haus darah. Dan ternyata pembunuhan tetap merupakan keahlian utama klan Clericuzio.]]>

    <![CDATA[Mario Puzo, author of <em>The Godfather</em>, knows a thing or two about the Mafia and about the movie business; here he brings them together. In the prologue, a Mafia don oversees the double christening of two infant boys, Dante and Cross, into the Clericuzio family. Later, when Cross is tapped to take over as the &quot;Hammer&quot; of the Clericuzios, their prime hit man, he proves not cold-blooded enough for the role. Dante takes his place, and Cross moves from Las Vegas to Hollywood, which proves to be an even worse den of iniquity. When he falls for a movie star Athena Aquitaine, he exhibits the &quot;fatal flaw&quot; the old don always warned against: loving a beautiful woman. A taut novel of sex and money, of love and power.]]>

    <![CDATA[Mario Puzo, author of <em>The Godfather</em>, knows a thing or two about the Mafia and about the movie business; here he brings them together. In the prologue, a Mafia don oversees the double christening of two infant boys, Dante and Cross, into the Clericuzio family. Later, when Cross is tapped to take over as the &quot;Hammer&quot; of the Clericuzios, their prime hit man, he proves not cold-blooded enough for the role. Dante takes his place, and Cross moves from Las Vegas to Hollywood, which proves to be an even worse den of iniquity. When he falls for a movie star Athena Aquitaine, he exhibits the &quot;fatal flaw&quot; the old don always warned against: loving a beautiful woman. A taut novel of sex and money, of love and power.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the ONLY book by Mario Puzo I've ever read, though of course I've seen the Godfather movies and admire them tremendously.  I picked this up to see what kind of writer had inspired such great movie-making, and found basically that he's not much of a stylist.  His writing is very heavy-handed....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36304836">more...</a>]]></body>
