Amazing. Everyone thought it wouldn't last. The author expecting her assignment will be over after Election Day. It is a great way to "run" in her shoes as a journalist following Trump on his whirlwind campaign. The chapters are kind of…

Very disjointed...expected a better read.

Poor, poor Katy. She works at MSNBC—what else do you need to know?

I heard Discs 1 & 2 of the audio version, but Tur's filthy language was too much, so I skipped to Disc 6 (the last) and will comment only on those parts. Three-fourths of the book is about Tur, her makeup, clothes, meals, drinks, health,…

Hair-raising narrative by an exceptionally tough (physically and mentally) young woman. I recommend it highly.

Tur doesn't pull any punches or mince words when it comes to her year and a half journey with the Trump campaign. What was initially believed to be a six week stint turned into more than Tur was ready to bargain for when Donald Trump…

This book wasn't bad but it's difficult for me to say i liked it. It's a quick read. I must admit that i didn't know what to expect but my unknown expectations were not met. K Tur covered the Trump campaign so it was a given it would be…

This is a good read although unfortunately I learned some things that happened during the campaign that were even more unsavory than I already knew. She did a good job of reporting the facts(not fake news). I wish I knew why authors like…

I really enjoyed this book. It was informative about the campaign and frustrating and unbelievable details about Trump and his supporters and confirms I have reason to be afraid of what is happening in this country. A good read.

Quick read. The book is a series of flashbacks between election night in 2016 and the Trump campaign with fleeting glimpses into her personal life. She leaves out the juicy tidbit that she met her future husband Tony Dokoupil in the…

Great for any news junkies or anyone curious about a reporter's life on the road, this takes a look into the not-so-distant past election. The writing is engaging and it includes personal anecdotes of an insider's look to being on the…

I thought I may be bored reading this since I kept up on the campaign while it was going on, but Katy brings out info that was not seen on tv. I am deeply saddened by the lack of any civility by some of Trump's supporters. The…

Until we can get the full story - hopefully of Trump's impeachment and unceremonious exit from the world stage - I'll settle for getting a story from the run-up to his election. Katy Tur does a good job at telling her story. I think…

So fun, so fast-paced, so interesting, so unbelievable! Katy Tur is one of a kind, a talented and exceptional, gifted writer with an amazing story. Unfortunately, it was not a story I could read at this point in time. I just finished…

Good book. I enjoyed the story, the style and the perspicacity. Katy Tur admirably keeps her s*** together, despite a deluge of truly terrible characters--all of whom are, unfortunately, real people.

Mostly interesting since i remember several of her live reports. I disliked the format she chose of switching from election night back to a campaign event flashback. It broke up the continuity enough that i was wondering "who…

Outstanding read. Could not put it down. I thought Ms Tur held up pretty well covering the hectic schedule of Donald Trump through his campaign and into his presidency not to mention being openly bullied and threatened by Trump and his…

Katy Tur did absolutely amazing job. Her book is captivating, very well researched, documented and written. It contains details and personal reflections that you won’t find anywhere. I, along with Katy Tur, find Mr. Trump quite…

Why is the book getting only 3 stars when no reviews even appear?
