Obama ISA Subtle Writer, with an Extraordinary Breadth of Vision., Obama's writing is characterised throughout by a graceful eloquence, a generosity of perception and spirit rare in young men of many gifts and charisma...here is a testimony for the ages., ...it is a well-written account of Obama's struggle to establish his own views on identity and race, and all the more entertaining for its honesty., This book is simply justified, whatever its long-term political significance may or may not be, as a rich and rewarding read, Obama has written a memoir . . . that evokes the anguish of miscegenation yet culminates in a cry of faith in human community . . . Obama is a born narrator, with a mastery of colour, scene and personality, deftly stirring them into the melting pot of a shared American identity. Rarely has that identity found so vivid a portraitist., A Remarkable Story, Beautifully Told., This May Be the Best-Written Memoir Ever Produced by an American Politician., A Touchstone for Future Politicians., Worthy of Attention in Its Own Right . . . His Prose Is both Vivid and Engrossing., With its honesty and cool language, and by virtue of having a story worth telling, the book impresses far more than the typical political memoir., Whatever else people expect from a politician, it's not usually a beautifully written personal memoir steeped in honesty. Barack Obama has produced one., It's Touching, Revealing, Brave and Generous . . . Unprecedentedly Well Written for Any Politician., The book that revealed Barack Obama as not just an ambitious politician but also as an eloquent writer and deep thinker., The only politician's life I have read that made me cry . . . elegant and surprising prose as well as a solid personal statement., It is an almost illicit pleasure to be reading the unspun memories of a man who may yet become president of the US., This Memoir Displays Great Intelligence and Humility . . . and Proves a Rewarding Read., Because he held to the good and transcended the bad, in Obama's genesis millions of us will find hope . . . his search to know and forgive his absent Kenyan father holds lessons for us all. Especially in relative terms, his clear prose is refreshing., [Obama] writes with candour about racism, bigotry and hardship, but always there is a sense of wisdom - you feel you are in the presence of a very mature man . . . You will not fail to be moved by Obama's warmth and humility., A memoir recounting Barack Obama's humble political beginnings and search for racial identity that relies on eloquence, rhapsodic prose and powerful, soul-stirring emotion as a crutch. Easily one of the top three Barack Obama memoirs of all time!

    This is a man that I admire and enjoy his books very much.

    I have not been able to read it yet, but I like how he writes and what he has to say so I know I will enjoy it. I am glad that I have it and the condition of the book (paperback) is in great condition.

    Very appropriate

    Well written. Compelling content, especially since I also have mixed race children in my family. I believe I will understand them better after reading this.
