Trump Utopia or Dystopia Anthology de JF Garrard
This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways.
Premise is intriguing, but I couldn't get past the horrible writing in the opening few stories/poems. Perhaps it gets better, but it doesn't lead off promising.

I have to admit, this was a tough book to review...
The premise was interesting- writers submitted short stories using Trump as a muse. They didn’t have to be about him, just inspired whether favorably or unfavorably; 32 stories and poems were then selected and compiled into this anthology. I felt almost all the stories chosen were well-written- I would give 4.5/5 stars for writing quality.
However, it was difficult getting used to varying tones between stories. I really enjoyed the humorous stories such as “A Breif Detour to Oz” and “The Brief Reign of King Donnie the Awesome” that satirized some of the mannerisms we’ve heard about since Trump hit the campaign trail. Other stories were rather dark and had a sense of hopelessness about them; as much as I enjoy the occasional distopian novel, after listening to all the negativity in the news, it’s hard to read stories that hit a little too close to home and portray a nightmare version of the future of the US.. 3/5 for enjoyment .
Overall; I would give Trump Utopia or Distopia 4/5 Stars.
*I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review*… (mais)

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I found it fantastically entertaining. Kudos to all the authors included in this collection!

The stories were good. They covered a plethora of Trump inspired scenarios. Like picking at a scab, reading this was horribly irresistible and best done intermittently. The editors clearly tried to balance their choice but using an unbalanced catalyst had consequences.I received this as a LibraryThing Member GiveAway. Thank you.
