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

1.0

Bolton seemed to write his book directly from his appointment calendar, filling it with uninteresting details. It was almost as if he went back to his calendar for each day and wrote minute-by-minute musings that reminded him how much smarter he was than everyone else. He was unkind and insulting to Trump, which was probably all he could do in the presence of such a disinterested, emotional weakling. The story (not that it's really even a story at all) was as much about Bolton's arrogance and hawkish ideology as it was about Trump's ineptitude, but both were on display in full, boring black and white. Even the boldface, direct insults to Trump were more sad than interesting. Thanks for the boredom, John, now go away.
