Story5 out of 5 stars 323
President Trump has said publicly that Woodward has interviewed him. What is not known is that Trump provided Woodward a window into his mind through a series of exclusive interviews. At key decision points, Rage shows how Trump’s responses to the crises of 2020 were rooted in the instincts, habits and style he developed during his first three years as president. Rage draws from hundreds of hours of interviews with first-hand witnesses, as well as participants’ notes, emails, diaries, calendars and confidential documents.

The content of this book has given me a better understanding of what has happened within the Whitehouse over the last four years. As someone with a novice interest in American politics it has been an enlightening experience, as well as a chilling one.
Trump's responses with Woodward remind me of some of those I have with my own father, who has a diagnose neurodegenerative disease. scattered and focused on the emotions, and spinning the facts to suit his own reality.
I think Woodward was fair with Trump. As President he should be held to the highest standards. He has the highest responsibility for his people wellbeing, and by his own admission he will not take ownership of bad, while taking full responsibility of the good. I agree with Woodward that this is not the qualities we want in a leader of a nation.
I encourage anyone with an interest in being a politician to listen to this book as a case study and a warning of what not to do.

Christopher Pyne has been many things and called many things throughout his long career in politics. Member for Sturt. Minister for defence. Manager of opposition business. Leader of the House. 'The Fixer'. Any Canberra story he doesn't know isn't worth telling. Now, after 26 years, the ultimate insider is outside the House and ready to burst the Canberra bubble with his trademark sharp wit.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 826
Candid and compelling, A Bigger Picture is the definitive narrative of Malcolm Turnbull’s prime ministership. He describes how he legalised same-sex marriage, established Snowy Hydro 2.0, stood up to Donald Trump and many achievements – remarkable in their pace and significance, and that they were delivered in the teeth of so much opposition. But it’s far more than just politics. Turnbull’s life has been filled with colourful characters and controversies, success and failure.

Why is Malcolm NOT the PM of Australia?

Well worth the time and money

As a partly causal political observer Turnbull's post PM book is a fascinating insight into modern Aust federal politics. Having heard his frank position is what is missing in modern politics - experience prior to Parliament.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 247
A Jedi must be a fearless warrior, a guardian of justice, and a scholar in the ways of the Force. But perhaps a Jedi’s most essential duty is to pass on what they have learned. Master Yoda trained Dooku; Dooku trained Qui-Gon Jinn; and now Qui-Gon has a Padawan of his own. But while Qui-Gon has faced all manner of threats and danger as a Jedi, nothing has ever scared him like the thought of failing his apprentice.

A great star wars story
Reviewed: 22-01-2020
The book gives a better understanding of Qui-gon Jin, his motives and relationships with Obi-Wan Kenobi, Dooku, and the Jedi council prior to a Phantom Menace.
I really enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone who enjoys diving into George Lucas' universe.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 185
Tatooine - a harsh desert world where farmers toil in the heat of two suns while trying to protect themselves and their loved ones from the marauding Tusken Raiders. A backwater planet on the edge of civilized space. And an unlikely place to find a Jedi Master in hiding, or an orphaned infant boy on whose tiny shoulders rests the future of a galaxy.

great story - it should be canon
Reviewed: 05-10-2019
I really enjoyed this Star Wars story and I hope it or something close to it makes its way into official canon instead of remaining in Star Wars legends content.
both the story, narrator, and production were fantastic and I highly recommend it for someone who enjoys the star wars universe.
it does start a little slow, but it is worth persisting.
my the force be with you all :)
