3.0

The first two books in this collection follow the adventures of Little Baron Trump and his dog Bulger.
They sail the seas finding new places of discovery and new strange lands and people.
The tales often start with the autonomy of the new strange “world within a world”, and further moves on to its native inhabitants.

I enjoyed the detailed landscapes and obscure tactics Baron Trump had to take in order to live within the new confounds of these strange new lands.
The book often felt like I was re-reading the same tropes throughout, and by the third voyage, I grew bored of the same algorithmic story telling.

The third and final tale in the collection was the reason I was first interested in purchasing the book: ‘The Last President (or 1900)’.
This story follows the election and rise of a new president in the United States, who is battling the rising socialists and anarchists demands in reparations; fighting against riots; and against his own constituents, in proposing a fair and just step in the direction of their withered, and growing my unruly country.

Other than the prior comparisons that were purported in an article I read, concerning the current state of events in America today, which solely encouraged me to buy this book - I would not have enjoyed this book as much - and even with that in mind, it was just OK.
