Product Description
One of the finest American novels ever written, All the King's Men is at its most basic the story of two men involved in the public and private swirls of political life. But it is so much more, encompassing a world on the page as big as the one out your front door. For a book that deserves several readings, this Cliff's Notes guide will help your first comprehension become clearer, faster.
I liked the book pretty much, but it was confusing - Reviewed on 1999-06-18

ok, i was forced to read All teh King's Men for my English class and I thought it was an interesting book...because I also read the Cliff's notes to figure out what went on. the book was worded in such a way that it was impossible to figure out what was going on at certain times and Warren skipped around (time wise, from the 1920's to the 1930's then to the 1850's) that it was extremely hard to figure out what was going on...I think that people should read this book though, because it was a good story. I also found it interesting because the author, Robert Penn Warren, wrote this book as a sort of autobiography, bexause many of the experiences that happened to the narrator, Jack Burder, actually happened to Warren during his lifetime.
