Earl Ego wolfjuice — I really enjoyed All the King's Men - once I got into it. Robert Penn Warren's gift of writing exceptionally beautiful phrases and passages, and drawing characters that seem to be alive, they are so faceted, was abundently clear throughout the book. I found myself placing tiny dogears on several pages because there were passages and quotes there that I absolutely wanted to remember, and I went through days when I just couldn't put the book down, I was so engrossed in it. My only complaint was that there were ten chapters in a 438-page book, which meant that chapters lasted almost 50 pages. When I start reading I like to be able to stop at a clear stopping point, and that made it hard to just pick up All the King's Men for ten minutes while I waited for dinner to finish cooking or five minutes while I waited to meet my husband after work. I get a lot of reading done in snatches like that, and my inability to read All the King's Men that way was what caused me to take months to finish it. When you read All the King's Men you do need to focus on it, or so much of the beauty of the language and the emotion expressed by the characters will be lost on you. I finally finished it after putting in several hours on the couch with it, and that was the only way to do it - sinking deep into Jack Burden's world and committing to go along for the ride.
