Book Reviews of Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance
Book Review: Who is Obama?
Summary: 3 Stars
Anyone interested in knowing more about a person that may be our next president would benefit from reading his own written material. I do not think he is qualified to be president but I wanted to know the facts and skip the rumors.Book Review: Dreams of your father Obama? The Muslim:? what aboout your white Mother
Summary: 5 Stars
Im am scratching my head over this book and wonder what Obama is trying to proove here?Book Review: Barack's diverse and complex life story
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful, detailed, and heartfelt trek through the life of Barack, including memories of his grandparents, his step-father, and mostly his beloved mom. He also explores repeatedly the impact of an absent father - something I have experienced first-hand and with startling intensity in my own daughter and my step children. He is a gifted writer, and listening to the audio edition (read by Barack himself) adds a stunningly personal dimension to the book. I read "The Audacity of Hope" first, and I wish I had read it second. This is a man with true depth of character. I love it! I love him! BARACK FOR PRESIDENT!Book Review: A genius hope-up
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is written about:
the ability to recognize,
the butterfly at a caterpillar,
the bald eagle at an egg,
the Saint in a selfish person.
It's seldom longbreathed.
It's love, hope-up and trust in one.
It's the american dream for down-to-earth people.
Book Review: The authorship of Obama
Summary: 5 Stars
I have followed Obama's career since the keynote speech in 2004 when my mother and I spoke, almost in unison, saying that 'this wonderful man will be our first African American president'. Soon after followed the purchase and reading of all his books. Dreams From My Father, I re-read rather often. If Obama doesn't make it to the White House (And I pray he will) he has an easy option for an alternative career as an author. "Dreams From My Father is a masterful book, poetic in nature and detailing an incredible array of gifted and very special relatives that figured into Barack's life and DNA. Even if you aren't an Obama zealot as I am, you will love the rich detail of an extraordinary life beautifully written and well crafted. This book is worth several reads.
