Recenzii
This
brilliantly
written
and
emotionally
authentic
memoir
fills
in
some
important
gaps...not
just
a
fascinating
read
but
a
genuinely
moving
one
too
Intimate, inspiring and set to become hugely influential
Inspirational without trying to be . . . a coming-of-age tale, a love story and a family saga all in one
This revealing memoir offers new insights into her upbringing on the south side of Chicago and the highs and lows of life with Barack Obama. . .Becomingis a 400-page expansion of this essential doctrine ['when they go low, we go high'], without compromising a refreshing level of honesty
An inspirational memoir that also rings true
This is a rich, entertaining and candid memoir. And overall she's a fun person to sit alongside as she tells you the story of her life, warts and all. . . it is as beautifully written as any piece of fiction
In the best moments ofBecoming, the miracle of Michelle Obama arises
Obama's memoir is a genuine page-turner, full of intimacies and reflections. . . Allied to this candour is a steeliness of purpose. It is no exaggeration to say that every page of this book is, explicitly or otherwise, a reproach to Donald Trump, and a call-to-arms to those who would defeat the 45th President and all that he stands for
I found myself lifting my jaw from my chest at the end of every other chapter, not because of any seedy insight into stories I'd always wondered about, but because, armed as I was with knowledge about her career, her mannerisms, and even her elbow-heavy dancing, this was not the Obama I thought I knew. She was more
Inspiring. . . After 421 pages ofBecoming, I closed the book hoping that one day she would use her formidable intelligence, humanity - and humour - to offer a more tangible vision for how America might fight the rising tides of polarisation and hate
Open and engaging. . . Obama writes with candour about the good times and bad
Of course,Becomingis Michelle Obama's story, of how she moved from a girl on the South Side of Chicago to becoming one of the most powerful women in the world. But in the final pages of the book, Obama writes, "It's all a process, steps along a path. Becoming requires equal parts patience and rigor." Here, Obama is pushing us to reckon with our own becomings - to realise our own story and to have the power to tell it
She's a woman we've all fallen in love with because she radiates joy and wisdom, andBecomingencapsulates this perfectly. It's also deeply honest - reading it makes you feel as though she's your close friend opening up to you
[A] polished pearl of a memoir
Obama writes with a refreshing candor
This beautifully written memoir... Twenty-five years ago she fell in love with a driven idealist, a man determined not to accept the world as it was. She feared his forceful intellect and ambition might swallow hers; instead, she found her voice
Becomingserenely balances gravity and grace, uplift and anecdote....Becomingis frequently funny, sometimes indignant or enraged, and when Michelle describes her father's early death from multiple sclerosis it turns rawly emotional
This is a vivid and interesting account and all of that is to her credit. I certainly thought better of her by the end: she has put her heart into this
This is undeniably a political book, both a fierce critique of Donald Trump's administration's politics of hatred and a powerful remind of a better, more compassionate America
Candid, engaging. . . To read her reflections is to recall and hope for a better America. Mrs Obama pulls back the curtains around their lives in a way she could not while Mr Obama was in office. Besides her lovely turn of phrase, she is a gifted and empathetic observer
Deeply moving. . .Becomingis fundamentally about how to be a person in the world, how to live a purposeful life, and how to use the chances you have been given
Her wonderful candid and affecting autobiography,Becoming. . . brims over with such emotional truthfulness. . .what a tale. With its generosity of spirit, self-knowledge and hope, it is the perfected antidote to the man who now lives in the White House. A plangent, defiant, honest and uplifting book
What a memoir. What a woman.
