About this listen
New York Times best-selling author of Fire and Fury and Siege completes the trilogy on the epic presidency of Donald J. Trump.
With Fire and Fury, Wolff defined the first phase of the Trump administration; in Siege, he wrote an explosive account of a presidency under fire. In Landslide, Wolff closes the story of Trump's four years in office and his tumultuous last months at the helm of the country, based on Wolff's extraordinary access to White House aides and to the former president himself, yielding a wealth of new information and insights about what really happened inside the highest office in the land, and the world.

What makes it the best? I’m unsure, but if I had to say:
* The subject matter is inherently interesting.
* The access obtained is top level.
* the authors knowledge of each ‘private’ matter is impressively total.
Very detailed and enjoyable

What an awful person, that is unbelievably is running again, shame on the people that are giving this criminal the money and fooling themselves to aid this would be dictator.
Great book, detailed and gripping

Fire and Fury saw Wolff receiving unwise access to the White House, and Siege had him relying on inside sources due to the fallout from publication of the first. Landslide sees Wolff ultimately in conversation with the man himself in addition to the sources he has on the inside.
It’s hard to tell if Wolff is writing the book as a way of airing personal grievances (such as Lord Ashcroft’s biography of David Cameron) or simply a keen sense of journalistic seediness abs spectacle. It almost certainly is not out of a sense of ethical or moral compunction. But whatever the case it comes across as catty but entirely plausible if you’ve followed the news during the presidency. But either way it makes it a far easier read (or listen) than Woodward’s Rage which feels more professional and balanced, but dull.
We are taken from the election, to the election loss to the capitol riots and the bumbling legal fallout, ending with Trump settling into life at Mar-a-lago. It’s detailed and comprehensive with some shocking if unsurprising revelations. It’s maybe not 100% reliable, but it’s definitely amusing and believable.
The performance is acceptable and quite expressive, though it feels like occasionally there is a misinterpretation of some of the direct quotes. Whatever the case, it keeps your attention even if the narrative doesn’t, which it will.
Delightfully grim and snipey

Let's hope America can continue to claw its way back from Trumps last 4 years of horror that left the entire planet a more unstable place. I am not even an American, but I am praying that sanity prevails and that the many corrupt Republican politicians currently at 'play' can somehow be kept in check.
Incredible

That leaves me, however, with the feeling that maybe it was just too one-sided. Could he really have been that bad and that narcissistic? Honestly? How could he have stayed in power for four years behaving like that? Surely the American ‘system’ couldn’t allow a person who seemed to think he was a dictator to have that much influence, could it?
So there is my problem. I massively enjoyed the book, but I have a slight nagging feeling that I have not been given a fair representation of some of the facts. That is why I can only give 4 stars.
Was he really that that woeful?
