A review by aliangco
A Promised Land by Barack Obama

funny hopeful inspiring slow-paced

4.0

President Barack Obama is a wonderful writer. His choice of words mixed with his honesty and at times, funny personality come through. I listened to the audiobook version and felt more connected with his story. He covers the first 4 years of his presidency and his start in politics. There were moments when I got bored out of my mind, I will admit that. Maybe if you're super interested in politics and current events, you'd love to hear his point of view.

Overall, this is a book you gotta commit to but it does give you chills in the life changing moments he's had (marriage, fatherhood, presidency, the tough times).
