This one's different from its predecessors in that it's not written by a former member of the administration or a tabloid journalist.
The author is ^ Bob Woodward, the renowned and meticulous investigative journalist who helped expose the Nixon Watergate scandal and has since written several uncontested books on presidential administrations.
Based on the excerpts released thus far, the book depicts President Trump as unstable, impulsive, recklessly ignorant in terms of foreign policy, and ruling over a very chaotic administration.
Woodward had attempted to interview Trump to get his input in advance, but he was unable to get an interview despite having met with Kellyanne Conway (who never followed up with Woodward) and Senator Lindsey Graham. Woodward said he also made a request for interview to several others close to Trump.

Yes books can paint a picture, yet the chaos and unstable nature seems not to come across in results. Maybe one person's reckless and impulsive is another's committed, decided and adaptive.
Seems he, like many others has an opinion. I wonder which party he voted for (i don't really).
I do wonder if he is a mansplainer or a broppriator?
