Helpful Score: 7

As a retired psychiatric RN, I was very interested in reading this book. Dr. Mary Trump definitely sums up the issues with Donald Trump as I thought would be accurate. He has had a very dysfunctional upbringing resulting in several personality disorders. Personality disorders are not inherited - they are developed. This book describes how that has happened.

I do not see her book as a money grab or a case for revenge. She is describing what happened in her family to several members of the family thanks to the "patriarch". This is a heart breaking story of how one man can affect all the members of his family!

I commend her for her bravery and the fight she had to endure to get this book published. It is definitely well worth the time to read it. I give it 5 stars simply for the honesty and accuracy in her accounting.
