I don't like the way the book is written, I would have preffered a more chronological autobiography instead of these time jumps. The prose is awfully mediocre as well, why would anyone hire a ghostwriter for that? Like some teenager's first attempts.
In any case why would anyone hire a ghoswriter while writing a very personal autobiography? In case of some politician's grift I get it but in his case?

>The guarded treasure halls and iron-clad temple of modern kings and presidents, high priests and millionaires, are positively the richest the world has ever know.
>Bulging are they with the vast hoards of silver and diamonds and gold.
>Here, then, is opportunity on a colossal scale. Here is the goal of Caesars, Nebuchadnezzar's and napoleons in the days that are coming.
>All is ready and prepared for them, even as in olden times. Caesar carried off the treasures of Egypt, Greece, Gaul and Rome. >Napoleon looted the money vaults of Venice, Vienna, Madrid, Berlin and Moscow. London only escaped him.
>Nebuchadnezzar plundered the Temple of Zion, where the Jews kept all their deposits and drank his beer and wine out of Jehovah's pots of gold.
>Napoleon Caesar, Nebuchadnezzar! There were three great men, were they not? And in this their greatness consisted--the seized their opportunities
The first thing that isn't his Mandeville-tier poetry. If you think this is good prose you really need to read more. This is garbage.

Who are you going to hit me with next? Longfellow?
