AMAZON REVIEWERS ARE LOVING 'FIRE AND FURY,' MICHAEL WOLFF'S GOSSIPY WHITE HOUSE BOOK

BY ALEXANDER NAZARYAN ON 1/5/18 AT 12:12 PM

Journalist Michael Wolff’s new book, Fire and Fury, may be the bane of the White House these days, but readers eager for political gossip are loving it, at least if early Amazon reviews are to be believed.

The book currently occupies the much-envied top spot on Amazon’s list of best-selling books. That mirrors overnight reports of some physical bookstores in the Washington, D.C., area having sold out of the book just minutes after it went on sale at midnight Thursday.

As of Friday morning, Wolff’s book has an average review of 4.8 stars, with 89 percent of reviewers giving the book five stars. As of this writing, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House has two one-star reviews, even as it has been publicly derided by President Donald Trump; his press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders; and others. That appears to have only helped sales.

“DEAR COMRADE BUDDY PLEASE DO NOT BE OF READING. VERY BAD,” says one of the comments, which appears to have been written by an internet troll, given the dearth of identifying information about the reviewer, “keepwrecking,” who has read and reviewed no other books or items on Amazon.
