I have been trying to decide if I should read the memoir, and it is hard to see for myself whether the book is worthy of a read, given the range of opinions on Omarosa's motivations and personality. From what I can glean so far, she seems similar to others who seek status and wealth by any means necessary, no worse no better. But there are so few black voices in these circles that I think every chance at insight should be explored.

Thanks for responding.
