I'm currently in the middle (almost exactly) and it's great so far!

Me too. It's great! I love Cesare!

cesare will die. juan will die. pope alexander will die. jofre will be a cardinal. lucrezia will live.
Death be not proud, though some have called thee Might and dreadful, for thou art not so... One short sleep past, we wake eternally, and death shall be no more: Death, thou shalt die.

if you like rennaisance history the Family is pretty good. i still prefer il padrino [i], or ometra [/i] over the family any day.

I gather you mean it is only out in hardback at the moment. Personally I hate hardbacks and find them too big too read. Maybe i'm just different! As far as I know, it's still hardback (at least it was a couple of months ago). And my sentiments exactly on the hardback vs. softback, injektilo. The only time I'll spring for a hardback if it's something I want to keep for a long time or something I "collect." E.g., I got a lot of hardbacks on military history (mainly WWII and The War Between the States), history of the Old West, Philosophy, and just history in general. If it's just a "casual" read, though, I much prefer paperback!

Like most of Puzo's books, this too is his account based on historical facts. Lucrezia Borgia even has an opera written about her as well as other books.
