Query: Pales in comparison with The Godfather

Every gangster story written by Mario Puzo would probably be compared to The Godfather which is an all time classic. This comparison may not be fair, but since I read The Last Don immediately after reading The Godfather, I cant help but compare the two. Compared to The Godfather, this book is a meandering and contrived story that failed to arouse my enthusiasm. The ending is predictable and the book gets more boring as the story develops. I would not recommend this book unless you are a Puzo fan.
