Book Reviews of King Rat
Book Review: A Classic About One Man's Temporary Power
Summary: 5 Stars
Everyone should have a copy of this book. In a POW camp during WWII, the stars and titles don't really matter much. The low ranking soldier becomes the most powerful with his natural cleverness and slick dealings. In the most horrible living conditions, he is the King! This book has a very deep meaning about human nature and the dignity one gives up for an extra food ration or a cigarette. But, for the King, what happens when the war is over?
