What an excellent first audiobook. There were some fleeting moments of meandering, where I would tune out, but that fact that her storytelling would make me audibly gasp, or stop washing the dishes to listen more intently, was a new experience for me entirely. Whoever edited Becoming deserves a raise and a tip of the hat. I approached this book not knowing much (or caring, really) about the Obama family, and now on the other side of Michelle's book, I can only really hope that our politicians in the Philippines would have but the same dedication, commitment, and desire to achieve the common good for the Filipino.
I highly recommend this book.

however, the pacing's a bit off for me: the book was quite slow going in the beginning, then simply blasted thru her time in the white house--8 yrs of jam packed life--in simply a couple chapters. i wish there were more, at least a lil more details and events described. surprisingly, becoming also didnt elicit much emotions from me, thus the seemingly-unpopular-opinion of 3ish stars.
