Enthralling!

Omarosa skilfully captivates her audience with her thorough account of events that have been of morbid fascination to the world. It has been incredible using her unique perspective to fill in gaps of knowledge we have in the public’s view. Thank you too for those tantalising snippets ... who is having or had a relationship in the WH? Who is the family member working against things. All will be revealed in the fullness of time no doubt. As an extra bonus, Amarosa narrates her book herself. I’m loving this trend in audiobooks. Thanks for your book and good luck for the future!

What a story

If only half of it is true we ought to be very concerned. Certainly is worth a read.

It is an OK book

The strong aspect of the audible is the reader. She has a really nice voice and that makes for a pleasurable experience in listening to her book. The book itself is alright as a description of what she remembers as the important moments she had in the White House. But it is not really a profound analysis of the Trump Administration. Omarosa glimpses over those, yet it is somewhat interesting to hear them at least for the new information they give from her personal perspective.

Interesting.

I do find this an interesting listen from an insider perspective'...… but I find it self-serving and too little too late as well. I find she's trying too hard to write her own history, before history does it for her, so history will record her well. It is interesting to read from one insider's perspective - but from someone living far away from what is happening in the USA, I find her self-justification shallow. Yes she was a woman in the inner sanctum …… she was aware all was not well for a long time prior to being evicted from the inner sanctum.... and now like the high achiever she is, she is making the most of it by writing a book. Interesting read. Good insight. Self serving. Was it worth it - yes.

Don't waste your money!

I couldn't even get through half of this book. Omarosa is tedious and vain. It was hard to remember what she was writing about between her self obsession, trashy TV appearances and attempts to impress Trump.
It was forced, poorly written and an obvious way to cash in on the Trump ex-employee train.

Complete self-indulgence (yes, even for Omarosa)

The title of “Unhinged” leads you down the garden path.

You would be forgiven for believing this was about an unhinged Donald Trump, but that’s not quite so, it is more about the author. I think a more accurate title would of been: The Life & Times of Omarosa Manigault Newman. While I wouldn’t have bought it, if that’s the kind of thing you like, you will like this book, it tell the story of Omarosa, as written by Omarosa, given that, I would rate it 3*, 4* with a different narrator. From the start it’s read with over the top and completely unnecessary dramatics, like only Omarosa could, after almost 3 hours in I couldn’t take anymore.

Unhinged?

She sure is! I listened in awe as she justified herself and her reasons for staying. This book is like watching a car crash.

The 'Heel'

This has to be one of the most distasteful books I've ever wasted time and money on. Let me preface this by saying I'm an African American man, in no way does racial intolerance colour my perspective.
Trump summed her up perfectly when he said she had a chip on her shoulder. She certainly does. I'm not sure if that comes from her race, her sex, or her life to date, but it is palpable.
Her story paints her as a bitter, narcissistic, deluded woman who lurches from touting the numerous opportunities she has been gifted , to whining no end about her lot in life, and how badly she has been slighted by all and sundry.
As odd as it sounds, on occasion it appears as if what she craved most from Trump was his lust, which is distasteful in its own right.
Genuine confidence is wonderful, and it comes from a life lived with humble achievement through perseverance and skill. This book stinks to high heaven of arrogant insecurity. This goes some way to explaining why, to quote her, she has craved the spotlight her entire life.
If you ask me, the image she wanted to avoid adopting most, that of an angry black woman, is exactly how she is now perceived.
The 'heel' may well sell more merchandise and book more appearances, but isn't that a little pathetic a metric for such a supposedly talented, successful, maverick of her time (my words).....?
Honestly, I'm ashamed to call her a 'sister'.
