Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man by Mary L. Trump

4.0

After the controversy surrounding the release of this book, I felt it important to read. Surprisingly it is not entirely unsympathetic to Mr. Trump, but as much or more an indictment of Donald's father Fred. It is interesting as a point of view from a biographical perspective, granted one of a family member who it could be argued has a grudge. It's not nearly as salacious a summer read as I had anticipated, but we always have the Steele dossier for that. The writing is palatable, and it is only towards the end that I felt it become a bit repetitious. The epilogue seems to have been written from a somewhat more fixed perspective, could it be to satisfy a political narrative suggested by the editors? Or was it written after the administration began pushing back on the release of the book?
