    I enjoyed this audiobook narrated by Barack himself which included a preface in his words, read after his election to the U.S. presidency and an epilogue that included his moving speech at the 2004 Democratic Convention. 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.

    Beautifully, gorgeously, awe-inspiringly written! 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.

    I was surprised at his drug use in highschool and how negative he was about the world. It seemed he had a chip on his shoulder. He seems a lot different now.
