This is another good book from Mario Puzo aptly finished by Carol Gino! I was not familiar with the Borgias at all prior to reading this book which is probably an advantage. It may be a disappointment if you come with that historical knowledge. The story is fast-paced, the characters well depicted (quite similar to the Corleones in more ways than one though). A bit too many graphic sexual themes at times, overshadows the point of the chapter! Good read though and a nice change in era :)
