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.

Summary: Trump for President
Review: This was fun and easy to read, and enlightening to those of us who are not in the fast lane. I can see why people like this man so much. If anyone can do away with the handshake in the West, he can, and while you are at it, Mr. Trump, how about getting us on the metric system? Who can blame him for boasting? This book makes me want to read more biography. Thank you, Kate and Don.

Summary: While this book was interesting, Donald is very egotistical
Review: This was the first Donald Trump book I have ever read. I started the book with wild enthusiasim expecting to learn something new that I could apply to my own life. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. This book was full of self-proclaiming victories for "The Donald" and did not contain much applicable to everyday life. "The Donald" is at a level in life that is well above the normal everday person and therefore it is hard to relate to his experiences.

Summary: What a guy!
Review: Trump knew exactly what we'd say after we read the book. He's egotistical and he's egotistical. But, he gets to talk about what he wants -- his sucesses -- and he gets to take a jab (or a full swing) at everyone who's irked him. Between him and his ghost-writer, he's even able to sound gracious and sincere while doing so. You may not get much real estate developer knowledge out of this one, but you'll come away thinking that Trump is an innocent victim. He's an innocent victim who is also the savior of New York (Hell -- all of the East Coast) and the world's premier developer. He helps everyone and provides advice to anyone in a position of influence. Alas, he is still but a victim to press and even to those who he tries to help. They'll all learn someday...!

Summary: interesting book about a guy who does get things done
Review: trump's first book was still my favorite, but this one kept my attention, too . . . the guy does accomplish a lot, and by reading this, you'll get some idea of how he does it . . . I could have done with some of the name-dropping and would have wantd to see some more specifics.

Summary: Part New York Post, part dealmaking action
Review: Whatever you think of Trump, its his combination of managed egomania, stories from his experiences, and willingness to tell all that make this a work of art. While not intended to be a textbook on dealmaking, The Donald offers up much insight into how he came back from oblivion. It's important to understand that, in Manhattan, in the real estate industry, and in life generally, sheer ability does not determine one's business success. Trump realizes that and offers a broad view of his life for the six years since he last wrote a bestseller, during which he spent most of the time in magnate Siberia. While not for the faint at heart, anyone with an interest in Trump's unique method of making a buck will enjoy this book.
