All the King's Men by Robert Penn Warren
4.0

“The best luck always happens to people who don't need it.” - Robert Penn Warren, All The King's Men

In his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Warren tells the political saga of a Louisiana politician from the perspective of his top assistant. A terrific tale of power, corruption, greed, love, betrayal, and integrity, All The King's Men gives a startling and frank display of how much politics have never truly changed.

Though I usually detest the romantic plotlines in novels, the love story at the heart of this novel is compelling and heartbreaking, but one worth knowing. The tangential love stories aren't bad, either.
