A review by marissacraftsandreads
Becoming by Michelle Obama

4.0

I continue to find it hard to rate how someone tells their story. While there were interesting parts to the story Michelle shares, it was quite long. It is her story and she chose to tell it her way, but I’m thankful for being able to listen to the audio book and speed up as needed. It’s always interesting to see a bit behind the curtain of life within the White House walls. What really resonated was her desire to maintain as much normalcy as possible for her girls. As parents, we only want to give our kids their best chance at life. I was also impressed by how directly she addresses the questions of her running at any point. She certainly nodded at it throughout recounting her experience but direct is always the way to go. Overall it was an interesting read.
