5.0 out of 5 starsHe's the "MAN" !
By W. P. Danitz on January 6, 2000
Format: Hardcover
Everyone either loves or hates Donald Trump! He is what we all want to be. He says and does what we all want to say and do. A very successfull businessman is probably someone that many of us would not like. In order to be able to do what they do , they have to have a large dose of ego and self confidence. They must be assertive. We the little people spend thousands reading inspirational books, attending seminars, and all the rest of that stuff to be successful, searching for that millionaire mentality, yet we condem it when we find someone who really has it! I enjoyed the book immensely. Yes there was a lot of DONALD, but so what? Read it, and learn!

4.0 out of 5 starsAnother 200+ pages of chest pounding from The Donald
By A Customer on March 22, 1998
Format: Hardcover
I have long been a fan of Donald Trump. I have read every book available on him, including this newest one. This book gives a little insight to his inner workings, and some of his deals. The biggest disappointment for me is that Donald will not share any of his vast financial acumen with us. He is very gifted in the arena of finance, and I wish that he would impart some of that knowledge on us. Perhaps he feels like this would give away some of his business advantage, or maybe he just likes chest pounding better that education. In contrast, Warren Buffet spends lots of time telling us the exact formulas and philosophies that he has used to become a billionaire from the stock market. Donald Trump has a great gift, and I wish he would write one more book to share even a portion of that with us.

5.0 out of 5 starsWinners gonna win, win, win
By Sean W on February 22, 2016
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Loved this book. Having passed my 40th year in business in 2014 and also having grown up the son of a real estate developer I can appreciate Trumps accomplishments with perhaps more insight than the average wage earning person.

I don't necessarily agree with everything he says and does. He makes mistakes like all of us but he has a highly developed ability to turn his mistakes into money, success, and increased safety. I don't know if he personally recognizes this trait, along with his ability to bring out the best in the people he makes connections with.

I appreciated his honesty as he relates a little of the ugly side of his recovery, the shouting, the swearing, the tactics he used to prevent the nay sayers from burying him. He simply says that he would not be comfortable putting everything he did to turn things around in print. Clearly he saw such departures from his best self as a necessary ingredient in order to prevent a worse disaster for him and his family.

When you are making a comeback you'll be desperate at times. You'll do things that you deem necessary. Trump makes the point that nobody will ever fight as hard for your success as you. You alone are the deciding factor whether you recover or die. If you die it's either quick or a slow pathetic painful death. Trump does not mention these things outright but his book is filled with examples, cover to cover, of what to avoid, and also alludes to the alternatives if you don't pull it off.

It's a strong book about the principles of success, which really are no different when making a comeback, but he positions his many success stories within the context of his recovery from almost a billion in debt to multiple billions in equity.Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 starsThe Art of Donald Trump's Accomplishments
By A Customer on July 9, 1998
Format: Hardcover
This book fails to live up to its title "The Art of the Comeback." Having devoting only one full chapter on how he came back from near bankruptcy, Donald Trump fails to give his audience a proper perspective on the ingredients of coming back. His theme, like his other two books, is basically about all his acquisitions. If you truly are looking for a book about the inside secrets of negotiations, business practices, and real estate finance, don't buy this book. Instead, try to get his first book "The Art of the Deal." Now, that's a book you can learn a thing or two from.

4.0 out of 5 starsCandid and Complex Self-Portrait of a Real Estate Titan
By Stuart Ellison on June 10, 2006
Format: Hardcover
In characteristic blunt style, Donald Trump describes how he made his astounding financial comeback during the severe downturn in the early-1990s real estate market. In a few short years, Trump went from being three-quarters of a billion dollars in debt to having a net worth of over $2 billion. This fast-reading book provides a fascinating look at this highly controversial, intelligent, and complex man.

Much of the book is full of name-dropping and self-pats on the back, but, hey, "The Donald" has a lot to brag about. Trump describes how he bought and improved many of New York's greatest landmarks, such as the Emprire State Building, Wollman Skating Rink, and 40 Wall Street.

Trump is coarse and sensitive; vicious toward betrayers and generous to loyalists; egotistical and self-critical. He uses four-letter words to describe his enemies, yet is magnanimous enough to make peace with rival Merv Griffin. He describes his nasty divorce with Ivana, but has mostly good things to say about her. Perhaps The Donald's most candid admission is that the breakup of his marriage to Marla was probably his fault.

This book isn't for everyone. Trump, the quintessential builder, finds "a crane on every block" a thing of beauty. He also seems to find humor in Mike Tyson's biting of Evander Holyfield's ear during that infamous heavyweight title fight.

Trump is understandably reticent about his daily life during the tough times of the early '90s, but that would have been more interesting material than the mundane schedule he describes.

Yet, overall, The Art of the Comeback is a straight-shooting autobiography providing insight into the mind of the greatest real estate titan of our time.
