A review by jfearing5
A Promised Land by Barack Obama

3.0

I absolutely love President Obama. His cool, calm and charisma led our country through troubled times and he is an inspiration for generations. Political chaos and long history of racism has led many in my home state to view him as evil, but I truly believe he’ll go down in history as one of our most ethical and monumental leaders. I can’t express how much I admire him.

But man this book is thick. Much of it is a somewhat dry telling of stories told more lively elsewhere. The best part was definitely having him read it himself, and I’d certainly recommend it to any one who wants to hear him read for 30 hours. Though, as a book and narrative, it doesn’t stand out to me compared to other tellings of the time period.

He is amazing, inspiring, kind, and wise. But honestly just read Michelle’s book
