This is an interesting read chronicling the 2015-16 Trump campaign. I think it's valuable in the commentary on the disconnect between what the political pundits were thinking (even Republicans!) compared with the voters in Trump's “base”, along with the idea that seemingly normal people felt free to “let loose” in the environment that he had created.

My main complaint is that the story is chronicled out of order, which seems to be a trend now for some reason and is particularly confusing in ebook format. Also, some of the more personal anecdotes are kind of shallow and irritating. 

Overall, this book probably won't surprise anyone who followed the campaign but an insider's view is interesting.
