kwahl's review against another edition

This is a completely ridiculous book. It's just a compilation of quotes with no context and in seemingly no particular order. They're not even impressive, inspirational, or particular well thought out quotes. It's literally just a list of things that Michelle Obama has said in her life with no through line.
I also object to the tag line referencing "views and values" as well as the foreword that implies that America needs to make some kind of assessment about this woman and this book will help them to do that. It's condescending, paternalistic, and frankly racist. It implies that Michelle Obama needed to prove herself at the time of this book's publication, which is not something I have ever seen placed on other First Ladies in that way.
Very silly all around. I hope Michelle Obama got some money off of this, but I kind of doubt it.

She keep things real. It’a crazy because we’re talking about Michel wonder women Obama and still reading the things she says it’s amaze me how I can see her in my mother, in my teacher, in my aunt, in my friends. She is a feeling living inside of all women. LOVE HEEERR!!
