A review by mistylloyd
Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama by David Garrow

2.0

I honestly quit this book @ about 75% through - which is not a thing I ususally ever let myself do - but the author was insufferable. When I was a couple hundred pages in, and not really feeling it, I let myself browse through some reviews and I noticed multiple statements that they weren't walking away from this book with any knowledge they didn't have to begin with, and now that I am so far in, I understand where they were coming from.
