It showed up on my kindle overnight and I started reading it early this morning. Woodward has an easy writing style and it will hook you quickly. It is the kind of book you read straight through in a few days.

It will be too hard to resist.

Sucks that they released it for DL before the real book. I ordered the hardcover because I wanted an actual book on my shelf to show guests whose house they're in.

of these people, Trump especially, or at least clinically interested in the political maneuverings, rather than distressed, and you'll find it interesting, and occasionally lively and entertaining, reading. Woodward's objective descriptions of behaviors can read like a tabloid or The Onion piece.

I want to read this book and I am happy to support Woodward and send a message to Trump. I am also happy to give this money to Amazon as well and make Jeff Bezos and the Washington Post have more financial support with this purchase.

I meanwhile after reading this excerpt am fascinated by the quotes attributed to Porter. I have no doubt he was interviewed. But I will bet money that he wasn't the source for all the quotes attributed to him.

Its a sickening irony or even a deliberate smack in the face that Porter gets "credit" for these quotes because here he is, the wife beater and Hope Hicks most recent squeeze (that we know of since she upgraded from Corey Lewandowski and Trump) sounding like the reasonable guy....

I am filled with Fear already.....have been for awhile since November 2016

the current ship time for the book is 1-4 weeks. Shows that once again any book about Drumpf not painting a positive picture is destined to be a sought-after best seller.
