An exemplary piece of journalism. Feels like an objective inside look into an odd presidency. Bob Woodward treats this as any good journalist would.

Trump relayed his conversation with Egyptian president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who had an abysmal human rights record including mass detentions, security forces’ killing protesters and military trials of civilians. “Dowd, remember who I’m talking to,” he said. “The guy’s a fucking killer. This guy’s a fucking killer! I’m getting it done. He’ll make you sweat on the phone. And right before we make the deal, el-Sisi says,” and Trump assumed a deep gravelly voice, “Donald, I’m worried about this investigation. Are you going to be around? Suppose I need a favor, Donald.” It was “like a kick in the nuts. It’s awful,” Trump said.

It's like there's a pile of bad candy in front of you and you try some anyway and then can't get the taste out so you keep on eating more.
Or, it's a book that paints a picture of a stupid, incompetent president and administration. We all know it and pick this book up anyway for some more background.
I'll just copy and paste most of my review from Fire and Fury.
This is the same, thought the approach is more calm and Woodward's writing is significantly better than Wolff.
