I really liked this book. Of course I am interested in race in America and how people define themselves by race so this was right up my alley. However, Obama writes as eloquently as he speaks and tells a fascinating story about his own life. It's even more interesting now that he's the president to be.

Fascinating, intelligent meditation on how we become who we are. Well written, touching, and a real insight into our 44th president.
So so. Some of it was interesting (to me, the first half of the book). The rest was boring.
