I wonder about myself if I had had all the opportunities and roads that he traveled on; I don't think I would have had normalcy; yet; he did. So I got a lot out of this wonderful book! Highs and lows; but that is what most all lives are about.His dad was very important to his community in Kenya due to leaving and receiving a higher education; as well as having children. Though he was not an "I'm here for dinner every night" father; President Obama doesn't condone him for this. He wrote this book with truth and his own lust for life. I praise him for writing his personal feelings; as well as the life he led. Definitely a 5 star book!President Obama? Where are you! We need you!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good readBy MABIf one can read this book with an open mind and not a political overlay; it is a wonderful story of a black man in america. As he has become the president; I feel it helps better understand his perspective on the world - open and inclusive; not closed and selective. His thoughtful; reflectivenss that is at times interpreted as "cold" seems just the normal way of a natural introvert. Well written; good read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I recommend it hightlyBy Carmen Flores-GuastiBeautilful. I recommend it hightly. I always have admired President Barack Obama since he was running for election for president. It is a heart breaking story where you learn from himself the findings of his father;s family and his ancestors. Also the story about his mother; and grandparents in Hawaii. Great book!!
