Book Reviews of Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance
Book Review: Beware the deceiver
Summary: 1 Stars
Quotes from this book. Talented? Eloquent? Complex? Inspiring? Come on people wake up before it is too late.
'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'
'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'
'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'
'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'
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

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.
