Story4.5 out of 5 stars 120
Washington Post national investigative reporter Carol Leonnig and White House bureau chief Philip Rucker, both Pulitzer Prize winners, provide the definitive insider narrative of Donald Trump's unique presidency with shocking new reporting and insight into its implications. Here, for the first time, certain officials who felt honor-bound not to divulge what they witnessed in positions of trust tell the truth for the benefit of history.

Would be funny if it wasn't true. Sad.

Well presented and narrated the story moves along apace. Insights into the incompetence of the incumbent administration and it's c-in-c highlight what may become (and I sincerely hope so) the death knell for Trumpism.
Falling shortt of the Impeachment process you can see where the story has gone since the last page was written, and reel in horror wirh acquittal, revenge and pardons for my "bff's"
The authors should now consider a serialisation as 2020 elections loom and the lunatic in chief gains further strength. The story does not end here but the authors did a magnificent job to provide those details thus far. They need to be careful though......

Simply - I agree with the other reviews. And you gotta love her. However you can't help but wonder if she knew then what we now know [she probably did] as I write this post confirmation of Trump's impeachment. Her narrative really brings out the unbelievable work that she and the career professionals did - again brought to life by the recent 'Ukraine' testimonies. Her unwavering adherence to protocols and the true meaning of diplomacy is truly awe inspiring, juxtaposing with the absolutely ridiculous, amateur looking Trump administration machinations. I'm apolitical [a Brit living in Canada] and have no vested interest, but she really brings out a laser beam line of professionalism that makes you feel good that someone has truth, justice, duty and honor guiding their actions, which then only highlights what would now appear to be deficient. Personal anecdotes, some nice name checks and a level of of family and personal insights make this a thoroughly good listen. Recommended, and respect to her and her family.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 51
Thousands of years ago, fairies and humans fought a great battle for the magical island of Ireland. When it became clear that they could not win, all of the fairies moved below ground, except for the 8th Family, the demons. Rather than surrender, they used a magical time spell to take their colony out of time and into Limbo. There they have lived for decades, preparing to exact their violent revenge on humans.

Awesome from start to finish. I'm an adult male - not a kid - and I loved it. Not the first one I've 'read' either. Get them all, they're worth it.
