The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir by John Bolton
3.0
This book is a bore. It's not particularly well written to the point where I feel like Bolton refused to have it edited or proofread because he's the smartest guy there is.
I'm ashamed to admit it but I couldn't even finish this book which is only the 2nd time that's ever happened, the first being War and Peace for obvious reasons. Although I plan on giving War and Peace another chance. Not this book.
Update: I finished the book. It did get better towards the end. The last chapter talks about Ukraine which is probably what most folks are looking to read about. If so, just skip to the end.
Although I will say the rest of the book provided some good insight into Trump's erratic decision making that gave all of the news about the Zelensky call a different framing.
I'll give it one more star.
