I liked it. The setting reminds me of Eliot's England (which I guess it is), but focuses more on smells than sights. The whole thing felt like a weird dream/nightmare, like when you don't know if you are awake or asleep.

the funny thing about the art of the deal is, that Trump is doing exactly what he wrote in the book in his campeign. He's asking for way more than he wants(being outlandish, outrages, etc) so when he actually comprises, gets serious he gets far more than he wanted, he gets you on his side, and he seems way better than he actually is.
