OK, first, you need to know that I DID NOT READ this book, although I do confess the sort of curiosity one might experience when driving past a particularly nasty accident。 I marked it as read solely so I could offer a link to an amazing review of it, that I did read。 Dwight Garner has been a NY Times book reviewer since 2008, so not someone you would expect to be given to exaggeration or gratuitous cruelty。 Thus, when you spot a review title like Jared Kushner’s ‘Breaking History’ Is a Soulless OK, first, you need to know that I DID NOT READ this book, although I do confess the sort of curiosity one might experience when driving past a particularly nasty accident。 I marked it as read solely so I could offer a link to an amazing review of it, that I did read。 Dwight Garner has been a NY Times book reviewer since 2008, so not someone you would expect to be given to exaggeration or gratuitous cruelty。 Thus, when you spot a review title like Jared Kushner’s ‘Breaking History’ Is a Soulless and Very Selective Memoir, one's antennae perk up。 He offers some particularly biting lines that should give you a taste for the whole:Reading this book reminded me of watching a cat lick a dog’s eye goo。or how aboutKushner, poignantly, repeatedly beats his own drum。 He recalls every drop of praise he’s ever received; he brings these home and he leaves them on the doorstep。 So, aside from wishing I had read the book, and written Garner's review, I can offer only the chance to see his very barbed takedown。 The Trump crime family has made a mockery of public service。 Apparently unsatisfied with that, Jared has made a mockery of writing memoirs。 Breaking History? Sounds to me more like Breaking Wind。 。。。more
Beata,
This is what Kushner has to say about being BFFs and braiding hair with a man who ordered someone to be murdered and dismemberedWhile this situation was terrible, I couldn’t ignore the fact that the reforms that MBS was implementing were having a positive impact on millions of people in the kingdom—especially women。 All of these reforms were major priorities for the United States, as they led to further progress in combating extremism and advancing economic opportunity and stability throughout t This is what Kushner has to say about being BFFs and braiding hair with a man who ordered someone to be murdered and dismemberedWhile this situation was terrible, I couldn’t ignore the fact that the reforms that MBS was implementing were having a positive impact on millions of people in the kingdom—especially women。 All of these reforms were major priorities for the United States, as they led to further progress in combating extremism and advancing economic opportunity and stability throughout the war-torn region。 The kingdom was poised to build on this historic progress, and I believed it would。
FUCK YOU JARED KUSHNER, I hope karma comes back for your worthless ass。 。。。more

I would rather have Johnny Depp bite my pubes off one by one than recommend this book for anyone to read。
Melki,
I see there are some 5-star ratings for this one, but none of them bothered to write reviews。 (Guess Ivanka was concerned about breaking a nail。)Someone from Israel gave him 5 stars。 Must be because Jared did so well with that Middle East peace thing。
Kay,
Jared, a pasty pale, botoxed-to-the-hilt fake boy, always finds someone to rescue him。 He spins a hilarious tale of impotent rage at perceived slights (from everyone)。 It seems that everyone despised him, even his underlings who felt forced to make comments such as "not bad" through gritted teeth to give Jared his daily bromide of praise。 When he turns to Henry Kissinger for a Time magazine accolade, he only get a "yes, I met Jared a few months ago" acknowledgement。 Poor Jared。 He finally hits p Jared, a pasty pale, botoxed-to-the-hilt fake boy, always finds someone to rescue him。 He spins a hilarious tale of impotent rage at perceived slights (from everyone)。 It seems that everyone despised him, even his underlings who felt forced to make comments such as "not bad" through gritted teeth to give Jared his daily bromide of praise。 When he turns to Henry Kissinger for a Time magazine accolade, he only get a "yes, I met Jared a few months ago" acknowledgement。 Poor Jared。 He finally hits pay dirt when the murderous dictator MBS flirts a bit and then promises praise if Jared would pass on nuclear weapon recipes and transplant an entire weapons making factory from the US to Saudi Arabia。 But alas, MBS also mocks the hapless Jared behind his back。 "Wee Jared is in my pocket," brags MBS。 "He'll soon be one of my lower tier wives。"Jared never belonged in the WH。 He's desperate to make you think he did。 。。。more
Alden,
Total trash from a worthless human。 If you run out of TP, use this, instead。

Of course I would never read this。 But I implore you to read this remarkable evisceration by The New York Times Critic。 My favourite line Once in the White House, Kushner became Little Jack Horner, placing a thumb in everyone else’s pie, and he wonders why he was disliked。 He read Sun Tzu and imagined he was becoming a warrior。Honourable mention “Breaking History” is an earnest and soulless — Kushner looks like a mannequin, and he writes like one — Just one more This book is like a tour of a onc Of course I would never read this。 But I implore you to read this remarkable evisceration by The New York Times Critic。 My favourite line Once in the White House, Kushner became Little Jack Horner, placing a thumb in everyone else’s pie, and he wonders why he was disliked。 He read Sun Tzu and imagined he was becoming a warrior。Honourable mention “Breaking History” is an earnest and soulless — Kushner looks like a mannequin, and he writes like one — Just one more This book is like a tour of a once majestic 18th-century wooden house, now burned to its foundations, that focuses solely on, and rejoices in, what’s left amid the ashes: the two singed bathtubs, the gravel driveway and the mailbox。 Kushner’s fealty to Trump remains absolute。 Reading this book reminded me of watching a cat lick a dog’s eye goo。I am deceased。 You finish “Breaking History” wondering: Who is this book for? There’s not enough red meat for the MAGA crowd, and Kushner has never appealed to them anyway。 Political wonks will be interested — maybe, to a limited degree — but this material is more thoroughly and reliably covered elsewhere。 He’s a pair of dimples without a demographic。 。。。more
