"So this book is controversial for a number of reasons, including the fact that by all accounts (from the author as least), he was given exclusive and unfettered access to one of the most chaotic White House administrations in American history. While some people refute the details and facts about this book, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. There were new insights that I didn’t gather from consuming the news everyday. For instance, I did not know that Jared Kushner was friends with the former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and that he is godfather to one of Rupert Murdoch’s daughters from his previous marriage. I know this is a small detail that I may have missed in press coverage, but some of the dynamics in his book are fascinating. I will leave the rest of the discoveries in this book to you, if you chose to read it. I am only giving this a 3 star review because the vocabulary of this book can at times be a bit to flowery and overdone in my opinion. Also because some of the chapters felt like there was more than enough detail for it own book (especially the parts about Jared and Ivanka, Jarvanka as they are referred to in this book). Overall I would recommend to both skeptics and lovers of the Trump White House machinations."

"Entertaining? You bet. True? Ehhhh... possibly. The author took liberties for sure, alleging people were thinking things at any given time. Based on public behavior, even wild anecdotes seem plausible. That’s part of its draw - if the events in this book happened, I wouldn’t be surprised. If they facts were stretched, I’d expect they were only stretched a little."

"3.5 stars. Interesting read however a bit repetitive at times and as unfocused as Trump himself. Still, overall worth a read."

"A real political book, don't expect comedy like the ones in the many other books about Trump. I mean I read Fear before this, so I had to make that comparison."
