In reply to the discussion: Does the Trump book feel a bit too tabloid-ish to anyone? [View all]Kentonio
(4,377 posts)I'm about halfway through, and its a fascinating read that rings extremely true to what we already know about the people involved. There's no denying that his writing style is pretty tabloideque, but given the nonsensical nature of the cast and the sheer idiocy of what they think, say and do, it's strangely fitting.
There's a couple of places where he uses a variation of 'they thought..' which raises questions about source, but he makes fairly clear in his introduction that there was a bizarre willingness on many people's part to speak openly, so its probably fair to assume that these sections are people recounting their thoughts to him. I can understand why serious journalists and authors have been a little contemptuous of his writing style though.
