Some sections of the book are a bit drawn out and his background as a lawyer becomes evident--although those times are few. I found his chapters on Politics, Race, and the World Beyond Our Borders to be excellently written, and spot on.

I also enjoyed seeing how candidly he spoke about the current state of families, using his own family in the analysis. The book as a whole felt like a personal journey, and ending the book with a chapter on family, particularly his family, was fitting.

I recommend this as a good read that gives the reader a solid insight to the way Barack Obama looks at the world.]]>
