Reviews
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., Obama Is a Subtle Writer, with an Extraordinary Breadth of Vision., 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!
