All the King's Men by Robert Penn Warren

3.0

This book just became increasingly baffling to me, which was a bummer. I didn't get what style the author was trying to write in- it seemed all over the place, but still beautifully descriptive. The side story in the middle about cass and gilbert seemed to have very little todo wth anything else. It was more about jack burden than about willie stark, which I wasn't expecting, and which I didn't realize until about halfway through. It reminded me of "lie down in darkness" by William Styron- very southern, very flowery - sometimes beautifully so, sometimes annoyingly so.
