Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Dreams from my Father
Surprisingly well written personal history...not always a page-turner, but Obama
gives real and honest insight about the very specific emotions of growing up
the way he did. As such, it really reveals the kind of man he is...and the point
view he's likely to bring to the presidency. An interesting, touching and
very instructive read.

With all its power and influence the US calls the shots certainly it does in Australia . When reading the book I thought at time Obama was concentrating on the US Black / White issue as he said he might in the introduction. But thinking more I believe the book is more about ... Read More
Rating:  - an astute and deeply personal account of growing up
A very candid and revealing look at the background and genesis of our new president. The pain (and painful honesty) of Barack Obama's life growing up in Indonesia and Hawaii are offset by his personal and astute observations of the racial terrain in America. As someone in both black and white worlds, he has a rare viewpoint of the ways of these two conflicting cultures.
This is an engaging memoir of confronting the past in the process of self-discovery, of growing up "fatherless" in a single parent ... Read More
