The Book That The President Wrote Himself
Plot:
This is the autobiographical story of Barack Obama's childhood and early adulthood. He talks about the struggles he had finding who he is and what he wants from life. This is the story of a boy who have never seen his father and creates this glorious image of him in his mind and eventually the young man who goes on a journey in Africa to find who his father really was, to discover his roots and himself.
Why I like it:
I read this book during Christmas 2012 while Mr. Boyfriend and I were babysitting our friends' cats. It stroke me as incredibly readable narrative, great usage of words and expressions. I was also surprised and charmed to see the life-story of the current President of the U.S.A. written by himself so personally and open-heartedly. The reader get an inside on the ideas and thoughts that made Barack Obama the man he is now - the first black president. Published first 1995 when he enters the political life for the first time - it's obvious that this is not a political propaganda. It's just the honest story of a man who lost and found himself within himself.
You can't get lost if you don't know where you're going...
