5.0

I am a reader and I always have been. However, I decided that this would officially be my first audiobook. Mrs Obama's voice was soothing and stern. This book was raw, real and worth every minute of the 19 hours and 3 minutes it took for me to finish it

I never rush memoirs and believe in taking my time. And wow!!I have a new favourite. 10 out of 10

challenging hopeful inspiring reflective slow-paced

3.5

This book shows which factors shape you while growing up, but also further on in life. Growth and succes depend on the actions of the person, their circumstances and the people around them. Based on that i found this an reflective and inspiring book, but it didnt succeed in keeping my attention. Maybe biographies arent my genre. Nevertheless it's a decent book and centainly worth reading.
