Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House by Michael Wolff
3.0
A strong 3.5
Not really sure how to rate this. The low rating is not about the politics - Trump and his supporters are repulsive monsters, beneath contempt, who should be jailed - but rather the rushed quality of the manuscript. It's repetitive and does not offer much that wasn't in the excerpt. Yet this is still a hugely influential book that I'd consider essential reading. If any of us live long enough to look back on this travesty as history, this will be an important document. Yet rushing it to press diminished the prose.
