I actually enjoyed reading this book! I like the insights to her life before, during,and after being in the white house. Got a kick out of some of her thought process. But, also, I enjoyed the work she has done regardless what anyone thought of her. If this is the type of read you are looking for, t...

Es hat mich von Anfang an total gepackt, es war wirklich super interessant, nicht nur über Michelle Obama zu lesen als sie in der politischen Welt unterwegs war, sondern wirklich ihre Lebensgeschichte von Anfang an.

I started this a while ago, but then I seemed to just grind to a halt. I didn't stop for any particular reason; the book group I was reading it for had passed and I suppose other things got in its way. So, now I've picked it up and completed it - I didn't want it to go the same way as her husband's ...

After listening to Ms Obama's words I had the audio version, I found myself questioning everything I thought I knew as facts, and looking at my own thoughts about the person.

While I have read a few by celebrities that I've enjoyed because of their humor, too many of the ones by public figures are either preachy self-justifications or selective journeys through careers in which achievements are exaggerated and blame for fai...

I considered all these people, current and former staff, to be family. And I was so proud of what we’d done. For every video that swiftly saturated the internet—I’d mom-danced with Jimmy Fallon, Nerf-dunked on LeBron James, and college-rapped with Jay Pharoah—we’d focused ourselves on doing more tha...

I have so many disparate thoughts surrounding this book, but one very solid thought about the book itself. So, the TL;DR version is: it's excellent. If you're a hellbent for leather "Republican", stay away from it; you won't enjoy it and it will probably do terrible things for your blood pressure...

I apologize in advance if this seems a little incoherent. What a great memoir! Michelle Obama hits everything that I love in memoirs. She goes into her childhood, her family, how her parents and family shaped her. And then you get to read about how certain incidents throughout her life defined her...

This was a really great read! I found myself telling people about it while I was reading it and I really don’t do that all too often. The way it is written with warmth and humor and genuiness in a matter-of-fact manner makes one appreciate the written word and the art of story telling even more. Mic...
