Review on 📚 Unbelievable: My Front-Row Seat to the Craziest Campaign in American History by Katy Tur (Hardcover) by Angie Baker

When I heard that Cathy Tour was writing a book on the Trump campaign I was very excited. Finally, Ms. Tour is an excellent television journalist who knows Trump well, and more importantly, she was the only journalist who followed Trump from the first minute of his campaign to the end. This book will be the definitive book on the Trump presidential election. Oh god I was disappointed. Here's a journalist who shone with God's luck, God's grace, God's wisdom - of every person on planet earth, Cathy Tour has had the opportunity to be with Trump from day one. What was basically a silly assignment ("Hey Kathy, go to that Trump announcement in Trump Tower”) has turned into the most extraordinary political story in our country's history. Donald Trump is running for President. And did he win? Ms. Tour was fortunate to be at the side of this monumental, dizzying story from the start. Your book should be the definitive story. All the intricacies of Trump's rise, campaign failures, campaign miracles, Trump supporters, rising support, falling support, scandals, cover-ups, the odd group of people on Trump's team, Trump himself, the importance of some campaign freezes. Everything the tour needed to cover in a 1000 page work. She was there for everything. But no, instead we get 300 pages of nothing about drinking on the plane while another reporter uses a food truck as a sled to slide down the aisle of the plane. Instead, we make Cathy nervous about her chores. Instead, Katie longs to be in London. Instead, Katy watches cartoons. Instead, Katy writes like an eighth grader about how much she misses her boyfriend. My god, the greatest political story in our country's history, and Miss Tour tells us a whole chapter about lugging her luggage through the snow to catch her plane! Cathy, you were part of all of this. Why didn't you call in Woodward and Bernstein and tell us a long, deep story about the most incredible political loss in history? She ruined everything. Struck by lightning, Ms. Tour was given the opportunity of a lifetime, turning it into a 286-page book about herself. Aside from the chapter about her family, nothing in Ms. Tour's life was quite as interesting, and none of it played into Trump's bigger picture presidential race.
