Unfortunately I just could not get into this book. It may be one for other readers, but I was unable to finish it.

A satirical imagining of a year in the life of an adolescen Donald Trump in military school, Young Donald was a pleasant diversion. Many of Trump’s actual traits and actions influenced the plot here, along with some family history details. I kept telling myself I can’t believe I’m reading this. But I kept looking for a final payout- Young Donald’s reversal of fortune? In the end, most of the novel’s characters just shrugged and accepted the deviant’s antics, much like recent history.

this was a really weird book, i enjoyed what I read but it was strange to think about. The writing was well done and I look forward to more from the author.

Yes, this is a work of fiction, but the reader cannot help but identify the worst characteristics of our President. This timely read captures the truly selfish and entitled behavior of this very dangerous man and creates a fictional storyline around it.

I didn't like this book as much as I expected to. I think it's because it got a little too farfetched with Stanley's Hong Kong mobster family.

I'd have liked to see it be a little more probable. Stanley's family would probably still be wealthy, but not as crooked as Donald's. It would have been interesting to see a power play between a blue blood family and a nouveau riche family like the Trumps.

Certainly, Donald and the Trump family were written well. There's a wealth of information out there about how they behave currently and have behaved in the past. But I think the author missed an opportunity to write a much more nuanced book....

I did not really enjoy this book at all, actually I could not even finish it, which is rare for me. But thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book.
