Book Reviews of All the King's Men [2006 Movie Tie-In Edition]
Book Review: A Beautiful Book that will stay with me Forever
Summary: 5 Stars
This book sat on my shelf for a couple months before I even opened it. Originally getting it because it was a bargain book on Amazon, I initially didn't think much of it. I attempted reading it twice and wasn't quite ready for it. It took an English professor in college who recommended I read it to get past the first twenty pages. What I first found to be boring pretty language transformed into something transcendent. After completing the novel I found that Robert Penn Warren was the only person in history to receive a Pulitzer in poetry and prose. "All the Kings Men" clearly illustrates Warren's poetic language and imagery. My first mistake with this book was to dismiss it as a "political" novel. While politics is involved and part of the story is set around southern politics, it in no way encompasses the novel. Instead this is novel about life. The story is both alien and deeply personal for the reader. The narrator walks you through his life and introduces you to the people around him. Willie Stark, while an impressive figure in American Literature is more like a supporting character throughout the novel. Instead it's a novel that focus' on the narrator's trials and tribulations. Everything from love, and loss, to past and present and how these things shape our lives. It is perhaps my favorite novel in American Literature. If at first you seem daunted, stop reading and come back to it. A novel that sticks with you, that is Highly Recommended!
