Recently I successfully finished the reading of a novel "Last don" by Mario Puzo. The first thirty pages of the book introduce you around 50 characters(All Italian names) of a mafia family & their business people. I had tried to read the book three times before my successful attempt and in each attempt i could not get time to read the book after 25 pages. When i came back, the mafia family was changed and wives were changed dramatically among the family. This forced me to start from the prologue. Unfortunately this cycle happened thrice. At last after some muck-up i reached 100 pages and after wards i could not put down the book.
The novel narrates about a mafia family,their business and their egos. You'll get every part of the mafia life in this book and the narration makes this novel a different one. Mario describes the characters,sequence of events and how the events drive the story into its end. Even you could guess what will happen next in some part of the story but that doesn't slows the speed.
This is the book that have most number of characters(100-150!!) i have ever read in English. I got a very good entertainer for my patience.
