All the King's Men

Small amount of ageing as might be expected for a book this old. Very good read, interesting what was left out in the making of the film.

This story of the rise and fall of an American politician in the 1930s showcases Robert Penn Warren's considerable narrative skill at its best. Warren uses a complex narrative structure filtered through the eyes of a disturbed narrator that not only lays bare the reality of the protagonist but compels us to question the political system itself that creates a man like Willie Stark.Warren's language is nuanced and intense without being pretentious or ponderous. It is not however a light read and best suited for a time when you are prepared for a degree of intellectual involvement. It is nevertheless well worth the effort you put in it. You can also check out the 1949 film version which won Broderick Crawford an Oscar.

Una GRAN novela que se disfruta desde el primer capítulo hasta el final, además de tener una actualidad asombrosa.

No problems with the book. Only wanted to point out that it is an ABRIDGED PLAY version and not the full book

Not what i expected...
