gladiatorfox 's review for:
Becoming
by Michelle Obama
To say this was a journey, is an understatement.
Michelle writes in a very familiar way that's endearing and easy to read. To see her grow up from the serious, ambitious kid to the graceful First Lady, was a such a treat. Her writing is raw, she doesn't set herself up higher nor lower than the reader. She presents her life story as it is and that makes it so accessible. Both her's and Barack's lives are admiration worthy and so so inspiring but while reading it you see that both of them consider themselves to be very ordinary people who just followed their passion and worked towards what they believed in.
There is so much to take away from this book. From their intelligence to compassion to humility and grace. Their love and belief in each other, their love for their kids, their passion for what they believe in, their hope and wishes for a better America, everything is a testament to the kind of people that they are.
