All the King's Men

The characters are morally complex, often neither wholly good nor evil. Did anyone else find this nuance made the story more relatable or unsettling?

Understanding the historical context helps, but I'm curious if the setting was chosen to reflect timeless aspects of power or specific events in history.

The first-person reflections create a reflective tone, but sometimes felt like a window into the narrator's own psyche. How did others interpret this choice?
