Review by Library Journal Review
Arriving just in time for the 2016 U.S. presidential race is Trudeau's collection of three decades of his acclaimed comic Doonesbury on Republican candidate Donald Trump. Beginning with the late 1980s when Trump teased the public with political aspirations to the current decade of his GOP nomination, Trudeau's cartoons showcase it all with a foreshadowing that is almost scary, as though he is getting inspiration from a crystal ball. The left-leaning author highlights the controversial moves of the millionaire's signature style conveyed uniquely in his comics, in which Trump's larger-than-life ego interacts with the full spectrum of Doonesbury favorites and enlarged panels make the reading experience laugh-out-loud enjoyable. Verdict Essential for Doonesbury fans, who will relish the story arcs with familiar and beloved characters, as well as anyone who has reservations about Trump. Recommended for political collections and especially poignant considering the current governmental climate. Trump supporters should avoid this book.-Laura McKinley, Huntington P.L., NY © Copyright 2016. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
