Fire and Fury is both a fascinating and a frustrating read. The sources did not go fully on record in most cases, and the few who did are habitual liars. It's difficult to know how much of the gossip and sour grapes in the book come from actual events that truly happened or not. Wolff tells it like they said it with little editorializing and absolutely no fact-checking. You could really fall down a rabbit hole trying to figure out how many of the stories are based on real events. The run-on sentences and grammatical errors also get in the way at times.

That being said, there's a fly on the wall kind of guilty pleasure to reading the book no matter where you are on the political spectrum. There are enough factions represented that you're likely to find some stories praising your friends and roasting your enemies if you just keep on reading.
