Thanks for your review. I'm not really interested in the presidents of the US, so whether the author's stories about Trump are real or not is not important.

The comparison between these two seems like a stretch. Unfortunately, this books isn't for me as i have no love for political books.

Faux history sounds much like fake news. I am sure there are readers who will run with this story. I cannot get my head around Trump being similar to Lincoln. Thank you for your review.

I don't even know that much about my country's previous presidents, so I doubt that I'll be reading this. The premise is most intriguing, though.

This historical fiction book seems to have a lot of realistic aspects. It analyzes Donald Trump as a president in a unique manner since the author compares him to Abraham Lincoln. The fact that the author also mixes present and past in this book also caught my attention. Congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the review!

A good review on this philosophical work. I'm however not a fan of this genre. I hope it impresses those who enjoy it.

The book seems to be unique and fascinating historical accounts of America through two main presidents Mr Lincoln and Mr Trump. The presentation is more fictional but author must had done a lot of research before putting them in black and white. The review has well brought out all these features of the book. Thanks for the nice review.

I am not an American and have little to zero interest in learning anything about their presidents, even though United States political course determines worldwide tendencies. No offense, but I prefer to pass this book, but I am sure it will make happy anyone interested in the subject and congratulate on BOTD!

The comparison between Abraham Lincoln and Donald Trump causes curiosity given the image in public opinion that each one has. Also, the use of historical documentation focused on the Civil War as a point of reference for President Lincoln sounds interesting. It is striking that the Jewish language is used in the background of some conversations. This book seems like an interesting option.

Thank you for your review. I didn't quite get your reference to the author's bicycle, but I surmise I will need to read the book first. That many can make interesting reads based on Trump is not surprising. People will find a fascination in watching him just as we can't help watching a baby's antics. I am a bit surprised more quality books haven't come out like this yet.
The juxtaposition with one of America's most beloved politicians sounds like genius.

When you read this book, don't be surprised if you find yourself developing a sympathetic view towards these great men. Their struggles are practically laid bare for all to see.
That's saying something, especially concerning Trump. I can appreciate the enormous amount of research and the creativity it must've taken to write this book but I've had enough of Trump to last a lifetime. Thank you, though, for your fantastic review!
