At Trump Tower--the iconic Manhattan building on the corner of 56th Street and Fifth Avenue--there exists a world of luxury, glamour, sex, lust, and naked power.
But at Trump Tower, nothing is quite what it seems to be.
Move in and meet your neighbors:
The "garbage" traders who are willing to do business with South American money brokers; the power couple, a TV anchor and her broker husband, for whom sex is sometimes an elaborate game; the Hollywood agent who is plotting to own the world; the British rock star under house arrest who sends out for good times, sex, and rock n' roll; the model with one of the most famous faces in the world who just happens to be kept by two men who don't know of each other's existence; the Broadway star who is banned from the building; one of the richest men in the world who believes his innocent daughter is still innocent; the business owner who is being forced out by someone who wants her business; the mysterious and venomous woman who wants to build a tropical rainforest; the assistant to the Director of Operations who is willing to do anything to get the General Manager's job; and Pierre Belasco, the General Manager and ringmaster of Trump Tower whose job is "ultimate discretion."
In the great tradition of Arthur Hailey, Harold Robbins, "Dynasty," and "Dallas "comes Jeffrey Robinson's "Trump Tower," where everyone's life is a drama.
Leave your modesty downstairs. "Trump Tower" is the sexiest novel of the decade.
Reminded me of Arthur Hailey's latter-day novels when it seemed as though he was being paid by the word...only this time, none of the depth or intrigue associated with this kind of potboiler. Shallow, unlikable characters, dumbass situations...pass. The title probably will sell a lot of copies, but I couldn't finish this book. Gave up around chapter seven. Sorry, DT, this gave me the DT's....
Not too bad. Bits reminded me of the Hailey procedural novel but minus two stars for the endless recital of famous names and an abrupt, unresolved ending.
Most confusing story I’ve ever read. It felt like a scavenger hunt with no treasure at the end. Most of the book was just excessive name-dropping. Not worth it.
