Daily Book Review – All the King’s Men

Here is another selection from the 100 Best Novels. “All the King’s Men” by Robert Penn Warren. Previously, I’ve mentioned the Modern Library’s list and reviewed a number of their recommendations. Not only is this one of the very best novels of all time, it is the perfect expose of politics and politicians – past, present and future. You will never again be able to listen to a politician speak without thinking of mythical Governor Willie Stark. If you haven’t yet read this novel, you might want to put a rush on before the new film version forever destroys the original intent of the author.
