It was a sweet memoir, well written in a straightforward style. I'm reminded while reading it of the love and fair-mindedness of his upbringing and the diversity of his family and cultural experiences that has to be influential in his presidential decision making.”

I cannot say how surprised I am that this book was everything it was. The book deals with Obama's time prior to becoming president and truly, only briefly touches on his start of interest in politics. The novel is more concerned with his search for identity and for his father. There were so many passages in this book that I almost cried because they were so poignantly and intelligently written. This novel deals with a quest for a sense of self in a shifting world. ”
