"The novel is not like some kitschy tv show with a straight-line plot and drama just thrown in randomly. ATKM is a spectacularly well-crafted, nuanced story with interwoven plotlines where every character or flashback enriches the narrative in such an organic way. Each thing is integral to capturing the complex interplay of events in real life— that "great spiderweb." Truly, the Robert Penn Warren’s writing Warren-ts my uproarious applause. "
