Longer English review for the book: /review/show...
I'm re-reading The Last Don in Chinese in order to refresh my memory and get inspiration for my fanfics.
In this re-read, I do realize the characters aren't as reliable and refreshing as those in The Godfather, it isn't easy to rely to the MC Cross and his struggle, but I do like how Mr. Puzo described the innerworkings of the Mafia, the casino business and the Hollywood film business.
Although it's a bit strange to read about Mr. Puzo described the Hollywood in all her glory whilst currently in 2020, Hollywood and the movie business are both suffering the blow of economical downturn and CCPVirus epidemic.

Quotes Mizuki Liked
“The don knew that love is not a reliable emotion to matter how deep. Love does not ensure gratitude, does not ensure obedience, does not provide harmony in so difficult a world. No one understood this better than Don Clericuzio. To inspire true love, one also had to be feared. Love alone was contemptible, it was nothing if it did not also include trust and obedience. What good was love to him if it did not acknowledge his rule?”
― The Last Don

“The truth now. He was disappointed in human beings. He had seen too many betrayals, too many pitiful weaknesses, too much greed for money and fame. The falseness between lovers, husbands and wifes, fathers, sons, mothers, daughters”

― The Last Don
“What is past is past. never go back. Not for excuses. Not for justification, not for happiness. You are what you are, the world is what it is.”

“She cannot return your love. She does not live in our world. She does not even live in the world of animals. She lives on a different star, absolutely alone.”
