This took me about a week to read, but I started it during finals week. It's long, at about 500 pages.The novel is fictional but based on the life of a Louisiana governor who started good but became corrupt. It’s told through the eyes of a journalist who first covered his campaign and then became a political handyman. Definitely worth a read- one of the most honest novels about American politics out there. Warren's poetic style, like Faulkner-lite, is a little rough at first but I really started to enjoy it as the book went on. So Southern ;).
