Editorial Review: Product Description: Trump's story begins when many real estate moguls went belly-up in what he calls the Great Depression of 1990. Trump reveals how he renegotiated millions of dollars in bank loans and survived the recession, paving the way for a resurgence, during which he built the most successful casino operation in Atlantic City, broke ground on one of the biggest and most lucrative development projects ever undertaken in New York City, and outsmarted one of South America's richest men for rights to the Miss Universe pageant. Blunt, outrageous, smart as hell, and full of hilarious stories--check out his chapter "The Art of the Prenuptial Agreement"--Trump tells it like it is: the women in his life; the wild and woolly deals; negotiating tactics; his investment philosophy; and his strategy for success or coming back from adversity. Whether you love him or hate him, one thing is certain about Donald Trump: He is a true American original, with great instincts and billion-dollar dreams. The Art of the Comeback is Trump at his best--unpredictable, irreverent, and irrepressible. Amazon.com Review: Does the world really need another book by or about Donald Trump? Surely his previous tomes about getting to the top, surviving at the top, and falling from the top--not to mention the innumerable magazine covers and tabloid stories detailing his rather sordid personal life--have sated the public's taste for "The Donald." Just in case this isn't so, however, Trump has given us yet another paean to himself: Trump: The Art of the Comeback. If you really care to know what Trump thinks about Howard Stern, Geraldo Rivera, or Carl Icahn--or his deep understanding of women--he's happy to tell you. If you thrill to accounts of financial takeovers and mano a mano encounters in boardrooms and on golf courses, this is the book for you. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Only value found in account of Trumps recent life; none from his financial or life adviceI find Donald Trump fascinating as he is among the most successful and prominent people in the real estate industry. For his third book, Trump presents an update on what has taken place since the real estate crash in the early 1990's, complete with his near bankruptcy, divorce with Ivana, and his financial turn around bringing him back to billionaire status. For those seeking the excitement found in his first book, the Art of the Deal (a book which I rated very high) you will find ... Read More Rating: - One of his Better BooksMost books written by Trump sound like an old broken record. But that can be said of many book sequels. Basically reading one by the author is more or less reading the others. This book is somewhat unique because it talks of Trump in trouble, in a recession, and how he was able to stand tough and come back. These are lessons that are very useful to everyone since we live in a world when tough times come and go and it is probably during these tough times that will separate the men from the boys. ... Read More Rating:  - Candid and Complex Self-Portrait of a Real Estate TitanIn characteristic blunt style, Donald Trump describes how he made his astounding financial comeback during the severe downturn in the early-1990s real estate market. In a few short years, Trump went from being three-quarters of a billion dollars in debt to having a net worth of over $2 billion. This fast-reading book provides a fascinating look at this highly controversial, intelligent, and complex man. Much of the book is full of name-dropping and self-pats on the back, but, hey, "The ... Read More Rating:  - ROFL, Ok What A JokeAll you haters out ther hating DOnald trump because he is succesful and that is fine and dandy, calling him an "overgrown boy" when you can't even talk or type properly. I am getting sick and tired of all these small time smack talkers criticizing Donald Trump for being succesful, while having pride, and living the American Dream being that his grandfather was a German immigrant and has built an empire in 3 generations, more than most people have been in here for way longer. He is living the billionaire ... Read More Rating: - Back in businessLike all the Trump books this one captures a moment in the life of "The Donald". Trump's bad habit of erroneously naming his books with 'how to' titles makes no exception here as The Art of the Comeback contains no instructional material. The book begins with Trump taking shots at some of his rivals, whom he feels betrayed. The book puts Donald back in the drivers seat, officially letting everyone know 'The Donald' has return and is richer and more powerful than ever! Flaming aside Donald briefly talks about ...
