I read books as an escape. These days there is nothing but hate and fake news and political crap everytime I turn on the tv or look at social media. This book sounded like a fun short read...again just to escape for an hour or so. What do I find....Trump bashing in a humor/horror book!

Wished I had read this one first before buying the others. Label your books political if you want to go there.… (altro)
