I liked the fact that Mr. Garrett was there and actually heard and saw what transpired. There were several times that I found that his facts made what did occur clearer. I think the book is highly recommended to anyone who finds the political field strange at this time.

This is Really Wild

Major Garrett's Mr. Trump's Wild Ride is a great book. Expecting and wanting a criticism I was surprised to find that it wasn't even an explanation of Trump and his presidency. It is a description. So it gives much more information about how and why things are and happened. Well worth the read.

Written in a factual way, this reporter’s retelling of the (almost) first two years of the Trump administration is spot on.

Extremely detailed narration of Trump's first 20 months or so in office. It does require close attention to keep track of the huge cast of characters and their behaviors.

Very wordy in terms of adjectives, adverbs, turns of phrase, which also requires close attention to follow the narrative, but that may have been in part because I used the audible version without the benefit of the visible breaks of paragraphs and punctuation, though as a long-time professional transcriptionist, I can usually "hear" the punctuation in a narrative.

Overall, he seems to be rather sympathetic to Trump's efforts and limitations, at least trying to be balanced in his descriptions, more so than the prior two major recent publications in the topic. I cannot speak to which is more accurate, but I suspect Trump's admirers would prefer this version.
