I saw both The Last Don and The Last Don II when they premiered on tv and on repeats. I also have read the book and am of the opinion that it is a solid story but is not at the same level as The Sicilian (book, the movie was dreadful) or The Godfather as few books by any author are. I don't remember too much about the movies other than the basic plot (could someone jog my memory?) as the last time I saw them was quite some while ago but I remember that I enjoyed the first one more than the second.
