Part New York Post, part dealmaking action
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.

What a guy!
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...!

Drivel
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! Similar Products
