All the King's Men (Penguin Modern Classics)

Product Information

and tkm is honestly the best book in the series and the best series conclusion and aftg is the best contemporary series in my life and nothing can top this okay Neil Josten. Ok, where to start? I love him. I love his resiliency, his eagerness, his hard work, and especially his sass. He changed, from a run away boy to a boy who finally found a reason to stay, who found hope and family. Everything he had gone through always makes me wanna hug him. He suffered through so much and he managed to stay alive and I couldn't be any prouder omg. I will always love him with his iconic "I'm fine" line.

Andrew Minyard. The Andrew in this book was so asdfghjksksjkz. He's absolutely a complex character. He too has gone through so much, while I get to read more about his past, I get to cry more. All of those shaped him into a person he is now. I still can't fully understand his character but I super duper love him. Andrew can stab me and I'd very much say thank you.Lccn 2001024363 Ocr ABBYY FineReader 8.0 Ocr_converted abbyy-to-hocr 1.1.6 Ocr_module_version 0.0.13 Openlibrary_edition

So, there we have the title, "All the King's Men," the chorus that relates the rise and fall of Willie Stark. For all great men have an inner circle, some of whom are as vague as phantoms, performing the will of the King and they will perform that will whether it be good or evil. But all the King's Men cannot put Humpty Dumpty together again should the King fall. Willie's death comes about, not from an assassin who believes him to be a dictator, but for a very personal reason. Nor will I even resort to a spoiler alert. I'm simply not going to tell you, because I want you to read this book. I reread “All the King’s Men” recently, in the wake of the Ohio and Florida primaries. It remains a salty, living thing. There’s no need for literary or political pundits to bring in the defibrillators. It is also eerily prescient, in its portrait of the rise of a demagogue, about some of the dark uses to which language has been put in this year’s election. YES, AAAH. I LOVE THIS SERIES SO SO MUCH. I laughed, cried, grinned so hard, and cried so hard again. I love every second of it. Time to search for fanarts and read fanfics aaaah.

If you're expecting a fictional recounting that serves as a short cut to T. Harry William's masterful biography of Huey Long this isn't it. I will tell you that they put me through the wringer. I cried, I cursed and I almost destroyed my Ipad out of anger. But it also made me extremely happy !! I can honestly say that this is the first YA book, that made me feel so much and I'm sure all three of them will end up in my top ten list for 2017's most favorite books.

Man is conceived in sin and born in corruption and he passeth from the stink of the didiee to the stench of the shroud. There is always something." I love these characters with my whole heart. I haven't felt like this since the The Raven Cycle. They are so complex, so broken and so real and I want to hug them all at once. All the King’s Men has a complex narrative structure: events are described out of sequence to demonstrate the relationship between the past and the present. By showing how and why the characters developed as they did, and how events were shaped, the novel gives the reader the means by which to measure the characters and the events they shape.
