Okay, I'm just pondering this - but reading these message boards, I see all of you referring to Omerta as Puzo's last novel, while "The Family" was released in October 2001 - after Omerta. Is this because of Carol Gino's role after Puzo passed? Just hoping to understand this, seeing as I haven't read either, and was wondering why The Family is hardly recognized. Sorry if this is in the wrong catagory, I just figured it was more general Puzo, and I was referring to people on this board.
