[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found it to be an intereting personal memoir, but didn't think it analyzed/explained the group as a whole which was what I was expecting. [/quote] Same. I also can't figure out - was he writing this memoir and it just happened that the Trump phenomenon was happening? Or did he see an opportunity? It's the latter, right, since he's only 31? [/quote] Same here, too. I'm from a similar background, and like him the first to "make it" (that is, college, grad school, a 401k, etc). And I'm a little obsessed with how and why I made it out so I thought this book was going to be great (based on the reviews). Honestly it was kind of disappointing, and I'm also not sure why anyone really cares about his story, specifically. Not to be mean to the guy; it's just that there are a lot of similar stories, so why did this one capture so many? I'm not really sure.[/quote]
