A review by jodieclaes
A Promised Land by Barack Obama

5.0

I am so sad to have finished this book. It is over 20 hours long on Audible and I was engaged the entire time. It took me about 3 months to listen during my free time.

I learned some little things I didn't know about his presidency and big things were clarified. I liked that it was personal but not a conceited story. He talks with candor about his staff and other people he had to engage with. Not in a rude way but in an honest way that I felt was very relatable.

After reading Mrs. Obama's book I felt this was a wonderful balance and continuation of that book.
