Review:
This book is less about Donald Trump and more about Fred Trump, Donald's father. Mary Trump is definitely a slighted member of the Trump family, but it is hard to believe that this book is simply an effort of spite. She makes the strong case that Trump is both victim to and driven by his ego. He is described as less than smart and this is bolstered by his striking series of failures. Mary Trump argues that Donald has "failed up" throughout his entire life.
The best insight came at the end when Mary Trump pointed out that Donald has no imagination. This explains a lot and it explains a lot about many of the Republicans in his orbit.
