"I Heart Obama" by Erin Aubrey Kaplan

My Thoughts....

Wow, this was some good read. How this author was able to put this altogether of President Barack
Obama [a folk hero], head of the most powerful state in the world; a 'centrist Democrat' was wonderful delivered to the reader. I loved how this author "offers an unapologetic appreciation of our highest-ranking "First” and what he means to black Americans. "In the process, the author explores the critiques of those in the black community who charge that he has not done enough, been present enough, been black enough to motivate real change in America. Racial antipathy cloaked as political antipathy has been the major conflict in Obama’s presidency." "By the end we get a well written "story about collective yearning and hope, against a backdrop of disillusionment and despair. In picking up this novel you will get a read that will make you think and even share through discussions long after the read. I thought this novel was very well written by this author being 'eloquent, honest and compelling'. ...thank you for a very interesting read about our President Barack Obama.

I received a copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

President Obama, with his daughter Malia, buying books last weekend  at the Politics and Prose bookstore in Washington.

Doing his part to support local bookstores, the article reports that Obama bought almost 24 books  including “A Constellation of Vital Phenomena,” “Harold and the Purple Crayon,” “The Lowland,”  “The Buddha in the Attic,” “The Kite Runner,”  “All That Is,” “Red Sparrow,” “Collision Low Crossers,” “The Sports Gene,” and Cheryl Strayed’s “Wild.”
