Book Reviews of Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance
Book Review: Obama's quest of self-discovery
Summary: 5 Stars
Although the title says the book is about race, after reading it, I don't agree. The issues of race are there, because after all, he is bi-racial, but that is not what the book is about.
Any young man who never really got to know his father starts out with a disadvantage in the "search for who I am" department. His search was complicated by distance, culture, racism, family dynamics on an island, two continents and an archipelago, polygamy and more. It's no wonder that he came to a place where he just had to figure it out.
The book is divided into roughly three parts. The first covers his childhood growing up in Hawaii, Indonesia, back to Hawaii and school, the second encompasses his time as a organizer in Chicago, and the third is his first trip to Kenya where he met his father's family and learned his father's story from them.
This man may very well be our next president. It is not only a good read, but it will let you know just who he is. For that reason, I encourage everyone to buy it.
Book Review: This book makes for a great read.
Summary: 5 Stars
Even though it is related to very personal feelings of the author and reflections on his family and personal development, it has a great speed. It will instantly capture you!Book Review: Now I get it.............
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was fabulous. He writes as wonderfully as he speaks, and when he related his childhood in Indonesia and his visit to Africa, it felt as if I were there. YES HE CAN!!!!Book Review: Amazon Pulled My First Review...I'll Try Again...
Summary: 2 Stars
I wrote a hasty review and spoke my true feelings about Barack Hussein Obama's memoir of self-discovery. Amazon refused to publish it probably because I said what I think: this book proves him to be a racist.
However, I won't reproduce my work, rather, I will leave you with this following warning: Mein Kaumph was Adolf Hitler's assessment of what needed to be done. Dreams of my Father is Barack H. Obama's warning to the world. He is no Martin Luther King. Think Malcom X, and you get the idea. Peace out.
Book Review: Elliston's Invisible Man for the 21st century
Summary: 5 Stars
When I watch shows like the McLaughlin Group (and the American Media in general), I'm struck by how little the literary stockjobbers actually know about Senator Obama. Worse yet, I'm appalled at the perceptions that are as put forth as fact. On the other hand, I'm convinced that Obama is a new type of politician, of equal stature with Washington, Lincoln, and both Roosevelts. If you don't vote for this guy, your loss.
