A well-written masterpiece about President Obama's first term in office. I felt as though I was part of his administration as he brought out specific details on his decision-making for policies, the issues he had within his cabinet, and his personal life, all while seeking to champion the American people.
It’s very interesting to hear Obama’s retelling of the impact of his presidency while adding a good amount of candor about his experience leading the country.
I listened to this on audiobook, narrated by Barack himself. The book was great, it contained an unbelievable about of details and his personal perspective. My only complaint was the length and breadth, I’m an avid reader, and had to give up on the hardcover & finish this one on audiobook. It was an immense challenge, even for me. In my opinion, this should have been broken into two books - it would have made it much more digestible, again, just my opinion.
