Story4 out of 5 stars 73
Best-selling author of Fire and Fury and chronicler of the Trump White House Michael Wolff dissects more of the major monsters, media whores, and vainglorious figures of our time. His scalpel opens their lives, careers, and always equivocal endgames with the same vividness and wit he brought to his disemboweling of the former president. These brilliant and biting profiles form a mesmerizing portrait of the hubris, overreach, and nearly inevitable self-destruction of some of the most famous faces from the Clinton era through the Trump years.

Almost Unlistenable
Reviewed: 12-28-21
While the narrator is dull and listless, it’s really this book that takes the cake. Wolff goes on and on about how terrible the people he writes about are. Neglecting the fact that without them, he would have no one to write about. About half way though this title began to sound live the teacher from the Peanuts animated cartoon. I could take no more!

Great For New Fans
Reviewed: 06-12-18
To begin, Tom is one of our favorite comedians and we have seen all his specials. That being said, if you have seen his specials this book might be a bit redundant. Much of it is taken from his on stage act and so you are hearing many of the stories/bits he did there.
His new stories are funny and clever and think this is a great first effort for a very talented guy!
