Donald Trump may have dismissed Bob Woodward’s Fear as “a joke”, but readers are showing themselves to be keen to share in the comedy, with more than 750,000 copies of the White House exposé sold in American in just one day, according to its publisher.
Fear, which “depicts a White House awash in dysfunction, where the Lord of the Flies is the closest thing to an owner’s manual”, according to a review in the Guardian, was published on 11 September. Simon & Schuster said yesterday that it sold a combined total of more than 750,000 copies of the book on its first day on sale in the US. The publisher has now ordered a ninth printing, bringing the total number of hardbacks in print in America to more than 1.15m.
“Bob Woodward’s Fear is selling with the force of a cultural phenomenon, in extraordinary numbers across the board, in hardcover, ebook, and audio editions,” said S&S president Jonathan Karp. “Based on immense pre-publication and ongoing interest, the reading public clearly has an enormous appetite for what we believe, as Woodward says, is ‘a pivot point in history’.”
I'm not planning on buying the book. I'm not planning on reading the book.
ReplyDeleteSo my review of the book is based on the title, "Fear."
What a great title!
The President fear mongers.
He stokes fear of violent immigrants. He plays up on the fear that illegal immigrants steal elections. That's to achieve power. Now that he's in power, he ramps it up.
He inspires fear in liberals that their agenda is broken beyond repair.
He engenders fear in rational citizens that he will lead the country into conflicts that destabilize the world.
All fear the President!
