John Bolton thinks extraordinarily highly of himself.2. Donald J. Trump didn't take Bolton's advice often enough, so Bolton resigned.Everything else in the book, pretty much, I already knew from watching the news for three years.That, my DU friends, is why we did not hear more about the book's revelations in the press after it came out. There really weren't any important revelations disclosed in it. Reading it was a waste of quite a few hours spent turning the book's pages.

Filter that rehashing through a malignant ego and I have to take a hard pass. Thanks for confirming my suspicion; hope it wasn’t too much drudgery for you.

I always have read non-fiction more than anything else.Bolton's book was a slog, simply because it didn't really reveal anything of significance. That's why there was no reporting on the book after the first days following its release. Nothing to report.As soon as Mary Trump's book is on my Kindle, I'll be reading that, as well. I might as well, I guess. I have low expectations for that one, as well.

Luckily, for me, I didn't buy the book, I just skimmed over the bootleg copy on the internet. Good thing for Bolton he got a $2M advance.

MM was while reading every page looking for the gotcha to help him "finish".
