The chapter on twitler really protrays him as a classless idiot who is viewed by the Palm Beach elite as coarse and gross. Even the people who worked in Mar a lago depised him.Ivana was the only person who made him act humane and he dumped her for Marla.

He's been tracking Trump since his early days in Atlantic City and knows where all the bodies are buried. Impeccably researched and eminently readable.

he spends quite a bit of time on how the Asshat gets out of paying a dime when sued by various people and there is also a good deal of information about his airline and casino bankruptcies.

I don't want to elaborate further, since my memory wouldn't be exact.
