The Audacity of Hope (edit title)

• Rated 5 stars

“I'm reading this book because I've always wanted to learn about Barack Obama.”

• Rated 4 stars

“After having read his first book last month, I found his second shows his public face and his current positions on issues and lin contians ess autobiographical information. The autobiography that he did include updates and anecdotally describes him. As the title suggests, Obama's plan contains hope as its central unifying theme; his ability to inspire and instill hope after the long eclipse of Dark Days from the previous administration will be his greatest asset.

Obama's gift to encapsulate complex issues, describing them with clarity and accuracy stands as the strongest feature of this book and also satisfies me the most as a reader (and a voter). The more that I read from this man and the more that I witness his commitments, record, and vision, the more convinced I become that he is the right leader for our age. My admiration for him increases day after day. ”

“Mixed”

• Rated 3 stars

“I started reading this book because I was interested in how he came to be President of the United States. I was a little hard for me to comprehend at first, but I started to understand along the way. It told about his family, religion, and his profession in a sort of humorous way. It was uplifting. If you are into politics, I recommend it.”

“Barack Obama proves that his recent election to the Senate didn't swell his head or keep him from writing a very honest book. Each chapter of the book deals with a different topic. Obama offers insight, opinions, and logic on issues of the day. His eloquence in his speaking transfers very well to paper-I often found myself nodding in agreement as I read. If you're a fan of our president, or even an avid political guru, this book is for you.”
