Nothing particularly shocking. It has good insight into Trump's personality and psychology. Cohen is a good writer, holding your attention with clear narratives.

It was an easy read. That, along with Mary Trump's book, give a pretty good overall picture of Trump.

I read it and then passed it on to my lovely neighbor to read.

I was disappointed with the autograph. (I paid an extra $5 for it. I know; what was I thinking!?....LOL). It sadly just looked like a couple of scribbled initials. No recognizable name at all.

I guess ya get what ya pay for, right?

He was speaking to a political group I'm a member of and offered to send copies to everyone on the call.

I know you are extremely plugged in to the ins and outs of everything we talk about here on DU and that suggestion hopefully will help in races that NEED the $$$...

Thanks again!!!

I think it is wonderful that you received your autographed copy the way you did.

I was trying to simply give my opinion about the autograph that I got for the extra $5.

You know, I am not good at all at making posts. My fear is always that I will say something that offends someone without any intention on my part.

It seems that that is exactly what I have done. I really do apologize for that. If you knew me as a person, you would know that I am not snarky or sarcastic at all.

I am not going to attempt to be a vocal part of DU any longer. It’s best for me. I just don’t seem to be very good at it.

I will still come here to read.

Best of luck to you.

How much have you posted?

It's up to you...

Maybe you just need more "practice", maybe you're a long time poster on a different site.
I'm a quite long time poster on a different site, have been on FB for 3? yrs now, and have intermittently posted here and there on other sites through about 23 yrs
I was still a bit nervous starting up here about 2 months ago.
Are you posting when you're tired?

Step back, don't try to post for a few days, then think about it again. 🙂

You were just relaying your experience, and Brooklynite was relaying his - at least that's how my simple comprehension skills read it. I didn't read offense or snark or anything on anyone's part.

Please keep posting

With the exception of two or three anecdotes, there's nothing more revealing or damning than we already know about Trump.

Cohen's constant remorse gets tiresome after a few chapters too.

I bought the book for Mom (90) who wanted to read it.
