HS answers “Is this book worth finishing? I'm only on...”

Mary Anderson asked this question about Melania and Me:

Is this book worth finishing? I'm only on the third chapter and wonder if it's worth finishing.

I would say in the middle it starts getting interesting (around Ch.5?) and if you really are in a crunch for time, just read Ch.10 and 11 (the last 2 chapters).

For me the book revealed (once again, like so many books about the Trumps) that they are criminals and have stolen so much money from the government (taxes) and donors that they should be in jail for life. And it makes me want to not pay any taxes ever again.

My take on the book is that while it comes off as whiny, she is limited by her non-disclosure agreement. So it just seems like a spat between girl friends. I think what really happened behind the scenes is only implied, and I will talk about it more in my book review. (less)
