Book Reviews of The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream
Book Review: A Must Read
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful way to learn more about the man who is the democratic candidate running for the President of the United States. It offers insight as to how Barack views the world, politics, and relationships. It provides the opportunity to understand how Barack approaches issues and obstacles and his general outlook on life. This book is both enlightening and inspiring. I would also recommend reading, Dreams From My Father by Barack Obama, first which gives the background of Barack's upbringing and puts his views and style into the context they originated from. Both books will remove any uncertainty readers may have about the man we see today.Book Review: AMust Read

Summary: 4 Stars
good book, political writings intermixed with personal experiences to convey the ideas in a better way. I'm planning to keep it and re read chapters from time to time.Book Review: Glad he wrote it
Summary: 2 Stars
I am glad I read this book. I had not decided who to vote for in 2008, and now I am positive that I am not voting for Obama. Other reviews were encouraged or inspired or thought the tone was hopeful. I do not agree. I thought it was a lot of rambling about everything that's wrong with America with the occasional self-congratulatory pot shot at a former running opponent or journalist thrown in. His solutions tend to be written in terms of what repulicans want to do or tried to do and why he disagrees. One positive -- the writing is very candid. I was actually kind of surprised that a presidential hopeful would reveal this much in print. You can at least get a very clear view of who he thought he was when he wrote this book -- which leads me to point out another surprise of mine, why aren't his opponents using more of the stuff in this book against him?Book Review: phenomenal book written by the people's intellectual
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr. Obama's second book is truly an exceptional one. He writes with such frankness that it's hard to not see his perspective even if you don't necessarily agree with it. This is a great book if you are curious about the Obama perspective on America and our system.
Unlike his fairly boring first foray into writing (Dreams from my Father) this book is compelling and well written.
