A review by joanna1905
Becoming by Michelle Obama
5.0
This book is beautiful, powerful and incredible to listen to. Michelle truly is an inspiration for girls and poc alike, she's a passionate and intelligent powerhouse whose achievements can be used as examples of what we can achieve if we work hard enough and have the right people supporting us.
The insight into the life of a family campaigning for president and then serving as the first family was fascinating and never once felt droll or boring. This book is not about politics, it's about people and what people have the potential to accomplish.
Hearing about the doubts, hopes, dreams and fears of such an accomplished woman can't help but feel soothing - if someone, as poised and qualified as Michelle Obama, can doubt her worth it provides comfort. Even successful people struggle, and thats okay.
Furthermore, the way she politely but clearly conveyed her feelings about Trump was incredible - perhaps the classiest takedown ever.
The fact that it narrated by Michelle is not only super cool but makes it such an incredible book to listen to, as she has such a pleasant and calm voice.
I would 100% recommend this book to everyone - it's not just for people who care about politics or for Americans.
