#Non-fiction The Room Where It Happened
Finished: 09.07.2020 “The Room Where It Happened”
Genre: non-fiction
Rating: F
Author: John Bolton
Conclusion:
- I have read John Bolton’s book The Room Where It Happened.
- Weak point: It is like pulling teeth…difficult, tiresome and tedious.
- Weak point: The book was too ‘detailed’ for the average reader:
- dates, time of day, and number of minutes for every meeting,
- every conversation, page after page.
- Strong point? …none
- Is this the book Trump wanted to stop selling?
- If you have kept up on the news….
- Bolton revealed nothing ‘earth shattering’
- ….that hasn’t been leaked pre-publication.
- Trump should worry about his niece’s book
- Too Much and Never Enough by Mary Trump.
- The New York Times said,
- “…the memoir was ‘bloated’ with self-importance,
- even though what it mostly recounts is Bolton
- not being able to accomplish very much”.
- I rest my case.

LOL! I love your pithy commentary!! You saved me from this book. Thanks!!
Glad to help….there are so many more books to read tha will enrich one’s soul.
This book only enriched Bolton’s $$ bank account!
Oh man. Thank you for saving me the time on this one. that NYT line about bloated with self-importance is hilarious. It’s funny that the administration was so up in arms about this being released when it sounds like it’s a whole lot of nothing.
….great review line, wish I thought of it!
“…a whole lot of nothing.’
Use your reading time for smth more interesting/instructive :)
