I finished The Audacity of Hope portion which I give 4 stars. This is what helped him win the first election, the ideas and passion he has in this book. He seems much more the common man, easy to relate too, unlike now right before the second election.
Lots of family history in Dreams from my Father but the chicago section on organizing was a bit long. Over all pretty interesting.

Highly recommend as an audiobook and the version with the Audacity of Hope speech at the end.
This book was quite good. It shows a fledgling politician before he became a well oiled machine. The effects of his father having left his family on its own is shown to have a outsized effect on Obama's life. It's interesting to see in how many ways that Obama's life could have changed in small ways that would have turned him from the heights he eventually reached. His conclusions don't quite have a strong ending point or call to action which I found interesting. He's simply telling a story and not trying to convince or badger the reader.
