Very detailed on the background to the election

I've got the other two books Wolff has done on Trup and I'd say this one is the best. It will be interesting how this holds up against the other books on Trump that are coming out over the next few months.

Has to be read to be believed. Rudy Giuliani in.

Superb additions to the Trump cannon. Really well read and paints a picture of what happens when lunatics take over the asylum.

Delightfully grim and snipey

Michael Wolff’s trilogy of books on the Trump presidency are energetic, engaging and filled with memorable and audacious anecdotes. Landslide is a more than worthy conclusion to these accounts and more jaw-dropping than the others.

Fire and Fury saw Wolff receiving unwise access to the White House, and Siege had him relying on inside sources due to the fallout from publication of the first. Landslide sees Wolff ultimately in conversation with the man himself in addition to the sources he has on the inside.

It’s hard to tell if Wolff is writing the book as a way of airing personal grievances (such as Lord Ashcroft’s biography of David Cameron) or simply a keen sense of journalistic seediness abs spectacle. It almost certainly is not out of a sense of ethical or moral compunction. But whatever the case it comes across as catty but entirely plausible if you’ve followed the news during the presidency. But either way it makes it a far easier read (or listen) than Woodward’s Rage which feels more professional and balanced, but dull.

We are taken from the election, to the election loss to the capitol riots and the bumbling legal fallout, ending with Trump settling into life at Mar-a-lago. It’s detailed and comprehensive with some shocking if unsurprising revelations. It’s maybe not 100% reliable, but it’s definitely amusing and believable.

The performance is acceptable and quite expressive, though it feels like occasionally there is a misinterpretation of some of the direct quotes. Whatever the case, it keeps your attention even if the narrative doesn’t, which it will.

Down the drain with accountability

Holter Graham's performance is as always top shelf. Michael Wolff's writing while serviceable is also annoying in certain parts

Very detailed and enjoyable

I’ve read other books on connected topics (Trump) by this author, and I find this to be the best.

What makes it the best? I’m unsure, but if I had to say:

* The subject matter is inherently interesting.
* The access obtained is top level.
* the authors knowledge of each ‘private’ matter is impressively total.

Great book, detailed and gripping

What a great listen, so detailed and actually quite scary too. I feel so sorry for people that actually believe what Trump says. The delusion, the willingness to give money to sustain the chaos. I’ve always thought of the president as a Solomon like figure, a statesman with the highest integrity.
What an awful person, that is unbelievably is running again, shame on the people that are giving this criminal the money and fooling themselves to aid this would be dictator.

Incredible

An incredible book that details laughable, circus style antics in what (prior to Trump and his clowns) had been the worlds greatest democracy. Every Trump supporter should be forced to read and analyse this book and thereby Trumps despicable, self serving nature.

Let's hope America can continue to claw its way back from Trumps last 4 years of horror that left the entire planet a more unstable place. I am not even an American, but I am praying that sanity prevails and that the many corrupt Republican politicians currently at 'play' can somehow be kept in check.
