The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir by John R. Bolton
2.0
I listened to the audiobook, so I'll start with saying the narration was good. The book itself was okay I guess, but wasn't really a page turner.
What I think the book was trying to portray was Democrats bad, Republicans good, the meh Republicans are 'basically Democrats' so they're bad. Trump doesn't know what he's doing, whereas the author does everything right and even quotes the praises he received to that effect from Trump/press/whoever throughout the book to 'support' the fact. The place is in shambles and finally if you've never been on the inside, you have no idea and can't understand.
Not really sure if it was worth the read, I think it was pretty biased towards Republican ideals even though it is anti their leader.
Books by David Frum, Andrew McCabe, James Comey, Bob Woodward, Anonymous's A Warning and even Omarosa Manigault Newman made for a better read. IMHO
