Summary: round 2
Review: I love the guy, once again, you must give it up for trump, the man knows what he is doing. He, in this book, has managed to highlight his victories ....how he came back to financial prosperity. But wait,how did he go down in the first place. He purposly mangages to ignore the finer points (the negatives)...and again, makes himself to be nothing less of a godly figure. Sure probably 50 percent of the book is fabricated. But its fun reading no doubt. You have too respect a guy who doesnt give up and knows what it takes to reach the top.....

Summary: The Art of Hyperbole
Review: I think Trump is a phony and an egomaniac. But I gave him credit for "coming back." But he doesn't really elaborate on his comeback nearly to the extent the title suggests. So I was disappointed in that. I'm from L.A. where even the average burger-flipper runs into celebrities with frequency, so his name dropping of celebrites meant nothing to me. I really would have liked a more introspective analysis of his comeback, but didn't find it here. He's an overgrown boy, which is no sin, but also doesn't make for great reading. One thing he says that a very very wealthy friend of mine told me is to "not depend on one source of income." So that's decent advice. Too bad more wasn't included.

Summary: A good laugh
Review: I was ill. I needed a book to read so I could get some sleep. I read it, just laughed and thought of all the law suits he was about to face and snear at. It's just a great book and a good read if you want to hear some interesting and funny stories. Good on you Donald, and can you spot me a twenty?

Summary: Keep The Facts Straight
Review: Let us give him his due. He has style and tenacity and the nerve.But let us not forget it is not as hard as one might think to become a billionaire if you start off with 250 million. He had a great start with his father including his father's business acumen and a development base and finances. His father gave him a lot of responsibility and the young Trump responded and went from Queens to Manhattan. He got carried away, got over extended and dropped the ball, all on his own and driven by his own nerve and ego. The guy knows how to hire and manage, something he learned from his father and he has taken all that to the next level. He managed the casinos and generated great cash flows. He is always trying to get involved in projects adding mainly the name not much cash. But that is his way. He knows how to keep what he makes, and certainly has learned this hard lesson. I have read and enjoyed all of Trump's books but he leaves out the practical aspects of dealing with unions and the mob and shady lawyers. They are books with a certain façade just like his buildings, so enjoy the book but it is just part of the story. The books are short and bolster his PR. Jack in Toronto

Summary: Drivel
Review: Save your time and skip this one. Page after page of name dropping and boasting. Who cares?! I was interested in some factual info about how he does business. Unfortunately that only amounts to about 10%. You're Fired!

Summary: Boastful book with a few barbs for those who crossed him!
Review: Somewhat dull look at a very smart but very vain, and boastful man. He names some of his enemies and others he outsmarted in his business ventures, which seems a bit mean spirited to say the least! Good reading for an insomniac like me. It put me right to sleep!

Summary: self-serving aggrandizment from a pompous egoist!
Review: The first (and LAST) book I will ever consider by this egotistical maniac. I had assumed that there would be some relavance in here (a la "Jack Welch Speaks), but no, only how cool The Donald is. Save your money.

Summary: THE WORLD'S GREATEST SALESMAN TALKS AGAIN
Review: The guy lays out his financial comeback. But, the real point of the book is an entertaining display of upbeat publicity and cheer he has brought to New York. Over the years he's been a one man Marshall Plan for the City.

Summary: The Art of Donald Trump's Accomplishments
Review: This book fails to live up to its title "The Art of the Comeback." Having devoting only one full chapter on how he came back from near bankruptcy, Donald Trump fails to give his audience a proper perspective on the ingredients of coming back. His theme, like his other two books, is basically about all his acquisitions. If you truly are looking for a book about the inside secrets of negotiations, business practices, and real estate finance, don't buy this book. Instead, try to get his first book "The Art of the Deal." Now, that's a book you can learn a thing or two from.

Summary: Quit while you're ahead
Review: This book should be called "The Art of Looking Like An Arrogant Moron." Although there may be brief passages of note concerning Trump's comeback (a legitimate topic of interest--when you happen to find one), most of the book is just a 'Damn, I am a god' thing. If you remember Jerry Lewis' character Johhny Love, you get the idea. A chapter on his women? Puh-leeze! Trump says it is his last book. Do us all a favor and keep your word. The man who wrote Art of the Deal would be ashamed of this book.
