Good premise, lack lustre ending
|
|
This book has a great premise and looks at the powerplay of Washington and the rich in the US, sadly the ending let the book down. You are kept engaged and turning the pages throughout this book, but the ending leaves a little to be desired and the way certain characters behave is out of character, so to speak. Puzo gets a little lost for fifty or so pages in the middle as well. The problem is that being so spoilt with the Godfather and other mafia related books, you expect such a high standard from puzo, that this book lets you down slightly. Saying that, this is a good political thriller and a good couple of days reading.

Fair play to Mario Puzo, he is a writer of legendary status. With this book he explains the backstabbing way in which the Government in USA are run. The SOCRATES club are the true powermongers, throw in a idealistic and very clever man by the name of President Kennedy and you will then find out what exactly Bill Clinton must have been thinking when his time in office was nearly up. A great book, explaining the tooing and froing of seperatists, terrorists and multi-billionaires, one for the persons out there who like a little heavy reading, Viva la Mario Puzo, a Hero!
