The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama
4.0
I saw Barack Obama speak at an even in Boston with only 200 people attending and I was amazed about how inspiring he was; not only in his rhetoric but in the way that he was able to capture the audience and make it seem as if he was only speaking to a few of us around a dinner table.
"The Audacity of Hope" continues that feeling for me and is both an accessible point of view on the current state of politics and a personal history of THE dynamic personality in the '08 Presidential Race. Split into easily readable chapters, Obama does a good job of sharing his family history and upbringing and how they both shape his vision for The United States. I can't remember the last time I read a book that not only gave me faith in the political system, but faith in myself as a citizen.
I may sound preachy, but I really do love this book.
