The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir by John Bolton

3.0

A different book which is essentially a biography (not of life, but of 453 in the Trump White House). However, I find this book tainted in the following patterns – breakfast, this is what I did, this is what I said, this is what he said, this is what he did. I do not regret reading this and outside the final 60 pages where there is a sudden change towards a typical Trump representation, the book itself is incredibly informative even if it lacks any form of story. The best way to describe the writing is that Bolton is clearly more adept at writing reports rather that books with sufficient story as I doubt this is nothing short of just train-of-thought perspective.
