Great introduction to Kamala Harris and her ideals.

This genre often leaves a lot to be desired. I loved hear her talk about her life and the work she’s done but it lacks in vulnerability because it’s a companion piece for running for President not a tell all. It’s good for what it is and she’s a wonderful human. Hearing about her work as a prosecutor and her plans for the country was all good. But overall it’s nothing ground breaking or exciting.

This book is really well structured showing us how Kamala's upbringing created a sense of social justice. Great insight into the current Vice-President of the United States

Not a fan of Kamala's criminal justice record, but in terms of quality of storytelling, this is one of the more intriguing political biographies I've read. Her history of being tough on the banks after the 2008 financial crisis (as mentioned extensively in the book) gives me hope that the Biden administration will tackle income inequality.

I find Kamala Harris very inspiring and I enjoyed listening to her read her book, which is the story of her life as well as a testament to the issues she feels strongly about. She talks about her journey from prosecutor to senator, and while this book was written prior to her run for president, it is still relevant as now she will be our first woman vice president. Issues discussed include big banks and the foreclosure crisis, immigration, healthcare, mass incarceration, minimum wage, women’s rights, national security, and climate change. I found this book interesting and well worth the listen!

Okay. I stopped reading every page this at around 25%—not because it was bad but because it was good. I borrowed it from the library and there are others waiting for it. It’s interesting because I was planning, at one point in my life, to have a career in law enforcement, and I think Harris hits all the salient points right on the nose. I agree with everything, which feels odd. I skimmed through the rest. She has a great conclusion. The pictures are a great plus. I feel like she explains the flaws in the justice system (of which there are many) and what she worked on addressing in a way people unfamiliar with law enforcement/the legal system would clearly understand, as well as why the changes she worked on were/are so urgent.
