Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
With a central role in NBC’s The Apprentice, Trump’s star is soaring. In his fifth book (after The Art of the Deal, he offers a cursory glance behind the scenes of the hit reality show, but the bulk of the text consists of business advice ("Be Tenacious"; "Play Golf"; "Be Optimistic, but Always Be Prepared for the Worst") with illustrative details culled from his real estate and media dealings. (The glimpses he presents of his transformation of 40 Wall Street hint at a story that might deserve a more serious book all its own.) There are some surprises; at times, the quintessential New Yorker sounds almost like a California New Ager as he recommends up to three hours of quiet reflection a day along with the writings of Carl Jung. But he’s soon back in recognizable form, advising readers to "screw enemies back" and explaining why various people (including former governor Mario Cuomo and talk-show host Joy Behar) are dead to him. Trump appears comfortable with himself, and he even makes light of potentially touchy subjects, such as his hair: "My hair is one hundred percent mine. No animals have been harmed in the creation of my hairstyle." There are occasional missteps, like an imitation of the New York Post’s iconic gossip column "Page Six," which reads more like an annual Trump Christmas letter. But Trump’s books have done an effective job of capturing his grand personality in print, and this volume is no exception. B&w photos throughout.

• invest wisely

The Worst Book Ever Written,
By
This review is from: Trump: How to Get Rich (Hardcover)
Yes, this is the worst book that I have ever read - I would imagine the worst book ever written. For someone that brags endlessly about being a perfectionist, he should be embarrassed. If you want to spend your money to have Trump brag non-stop and then ultimately learn nothing, this is the book for you. There have to be at least 30 pictures of the guy. He somehow manages, between headings and chapter spacing to add an extra 100 pages to the book. One word: pathetic.

Reads like a love letter to himself,
By T Diddy (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trump: How to Get Rich (Hardcover)
I have always admired Donald Trump's story, even though the man himself left me a little...well...nauseated. Still, I thought, I had something to learn from a man who has made and remade himself as many times as Donald Trump had. I was wrong. I just couldn't get past the puffery and infomercial antics to glean any really helpful knowledge. If you're looking for real insight on how to build a business, check out Corporate Credit Unleashed instead, which is a far more helpful and less annoying blueprint to building your own wealth.

not very inspiring,
By Mike (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trump: How to Get Rich (Hardcover)
Some tid bits of entertainment, but lacks wisdom and advice on how to get rich. If your going to write a book on a particular subject Donald.. make sure its relevant... better yet stick to what you do best
