Still Unbelievable

A surprisingly gripping account of Tur's real-life experiences covering Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign for MSNBC. This isn't really a book about Donald Trump, or even about Tur's relationship with Trump, though their interactions certainly comprise some of the memoir's most entertaining moments. Unbelievable is principally concerned with the life of a journalist on the campaign trail, and as such it's filled with internal monologuing and personal details. (The campaign in question just so happens to be one of the most unpredictable and impactful in American history.) Once I learned to appreciate the book for what it was, I found myself quite entertained—and there are a few nuggets of insight into the mindset of Trump and his supporters thrown in for good measure. If the day-to-day experience of journalism at all interests you, pick this one up; you won't be disappointed.
