Bob Woodward: Peril (Hardcover)

"Grabs your interest at the start, accurate description of the last days of Trump in the White House." Bob Woodward's book on the last days of Trump in the White House seems to have had a mixed reception among readers. While some found it to be a fascinating and eye-opening read, others were left disappointed. One standout aspect of the book mentioned by multiple readers is the prologue about General Milley's attempts to protect the United States and the world from a rogue, emotionally unstable president. This part of the book is praised for providing fresh insights into important events. However, there were also criticisms that the rest of the book largely Consists of a rehash of commonly known information. Some readers felt that Woodward's writing failed to offer anything new or original beyond what has already been extensively covered in the media. Additionally, there are comments suggesting that the book takes a slanted progressive perspective, with too much focus on painting Trump in a negative light ("Orange Man Bad"), rather than providing factually based analysis. These readers found Woodward's portrayal of General Milley's actions as treasonous or insubordinate to be disappointing, suggesting that the book may be influenced by the author's personal beliefs. Overall, while some readers praised the book's ability to captivate and inform, others were less impressed with the lack of fresh insights and perceived bias.
