Title: All the King's Men
Review: A steamroller of a book, All the King's Men begins in action and ends in action. The trip from one end to the other is one of the most riveting, enthralling, and emotional in my experience.It is less of a political novel than philisophical treatise. But inside our journey through mankind is the powerful engine of human enotion and All the King's Men runs the gamut.Warren had great facility with the language, in line with Twain and Faulkner, utilizing an extensive vocabulary that does not cloud or interfere with story or plot.Get the idea of a man who "debauched massively" from an automobile seat, and you see what I mean. Warren creates images that guide the viewer into the mind of the storyteller, yet exceed any one man's grasp. We enter the mind of God, and He has quite a story to tell.I cannot recommend All the King's Men more highly.
