Trump: The Deals and the Downfall

Rating:
Summary: Average
Review: This is a story of ego and money. This biography is probably more balanced then some of the other books that Trump himself has put out, but it basically boils down to somebody that had a leg up and parlayed that money in and even larger pile of money. You get all the basics with this biography, the dull and average childhood, the fun / sexy college years, the first part of his career where he was learning the ropes and then the tabloid end with divorce's, girlfriends, business problems and business successes.

I think this book and maybe Trump has missed the real story; Trump can claim great business success, a comeback etc, why must he push the focus on the feeding and sustaining his ego? That is something the book could have spent more time on, but unless you had a fully open Trump to ask the questions to, you would never get the info. Overall, this book is an average effort with about 25 pages that should have been cut by the editor. With a personality in the media so much it is hard to find something completely new in this book that would compel the general reader to want to pick it up.
