![]() They can range from four pages to 20, averaging 10 pages per chapter. While the book has 42 chapters, they are very short and sweet. Woodward writes in a way that one can easily follow along with.Īt first, it was a little hard to follow along as he likes to jump to different points in times on whatever topic the chapter is covering, but he gets his point across very clearly and accurately. The book itself, at 357 pages excluding acknowledgements, source notes and an index, is a very easy read. He is also the author/co-author of 18 other books about various other presidents from various sides of the political spectrum. He is a two time Pulitzer prize winner for his work on Watergate and, in 2003, for his reporting on the 9/11 attacks. ![]() But Bob Woodward’s new book Fear: Trump in the White House may be the most in-depth one yet.īob Woodward is an associate editor at The Washington Post and is famously known for covering the Watergate scandal with Carl Bernstein that would eventually lead to Richard Nixon resigning in 1974.

It didn't teach me anything, didn't leave me inspired or give me new insights. It's an intriguing story, w/a fast moving plot, unrealistic dialogue and loose ends too neatly tied up in the end. I read the story in one day, and I have to concur, this is not literature. She'd read it, said "it wasn't great literature but it's an intriguing story." And b/c it takes place at Christmas time, and b/c my mother said, "here read this." I thought, "OK, I will". But is it right to dismiss things you've never examined or at least perused?Īnd so a few days ago, my mother brought me this book. I see people reading these books on the subway, and they line the bookshelves at Stop & Shop. I've purposely avoided her books, as I have w/books by James Patterson, Debbie Macomber and other similar authors. Silent Night Mary Higgins Clark, the Queen of Suspense, has crafted a very special holiday story about a childs courage in the face of danger. I have never read a book by Mary Higgins Clark. ![]() ![]() ![]() Book Blast: Death of an Alchemist by Mary Lawrence.Two Minute Review: Burning Glass by Kathryn Purdie.Series Review: Beware the Wild by Natalie C.Book Tour Review: Moonlight Over Paris by Jennifer.Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Books I Love But Haven't Talk.Discussion Review: Nightstruck by Jenna Black.Book Tour Review: Death of an Alchemist by Mary La.Here be massive spoilers.Īny of these end up on your shelves lately?
