It’s very inspiring and I learned interesting thing about the WH and about her life. I’m also listening with the audiobook (read by herself). She is a very admirable person.
Yes. It’s terrific. I listened to the audiobook which she read. I enjoyed it tremendously. (Only one thing made me NUTS: over and over and over she says “me and … “ fill in another person’s name. She’s a highly educated woman and she uses completely faulty grammar in this way. ?
@Haley not true every week someone posts this book and people post what number they are at the library or that they got for Christmas ..its April and there are so many good books new and old I’m going to start looking at classics that I may have not thought about in highschool. Looking for recommendations..
@Carolyn I have looked at the other side, actually a member, and she is a user who cost the country millions and negatively impacted children. So spew your rhetoric elsewhere and you try looking at the other side and learning something.
I am split about it – it is very good in many ways but it is also quite bitchy in places (which I did not expect) and not particularly reflective. I possibly was too critical of it as it was praised so high and then was let down by the fact that it is a very good book but not outstanding.
I have not, but a friend recommended the audiobook for the optimum experience. She said she both read and then listened. She loved the book in any way, but said having Mrs. Obama’s voice and her own inflections was the best.
Amazing book. I really,really liked it. Borrowed it from the Library then returned it and went to the bookstore and bought a copy to keep and re read. What an amazing woman.
I’m reading it now. I enjoy the meter readings f the stories, like you are so ting across the table and she is recounting a memory for you. I’m savoring it as a slow read
Very good book. I enjoyed learning more about her and her family. Some private moments were funny and sad. I think any woman will come away with a new look about themselves. Michelle is a very educated woman and it shows in her writing. I came away with more respect for her and her family. You really need to read this.
@Tassin I’m getting a bit annoyed that this person is being negative to nearly everyone’s responses. I think we all got the point without distracting people who want to read everyone’s response.
YES!!! It’s wonderful!!! Every page! Tells her story from when she was little to after they move out of the White House. You’ll love it!! I felt like I’d spent time with her after I read it. Truly a remarkable, admirable woman! She never compromises her principals. She bends where she has to, but her morals and principals remain in tact. She sets the bar high!
Yes, She is wonderfully human and honest . I listened to IT on tape, read by Michelle and felt as if I knew her AS A WONDERFUL human being ..at the end A GOOD READ.
Yes- very good
Not yet. I’ve bought it. Will read soon.
I haven’t yet but both my parents just finished it and said it’s amazing. I’m on the wait list at the library
@Jenn my local library has it and that’s what got me thinking to read it. A lot of people have read it and said it inspired them
Yes. Such a good one! Love her story
YES, it’s VERY good!!!
Great book! Great woman!
Yes I enjoyed it very much.
Got it for Christmas present, but haven’t read it yet.
Excellent. The audio versions is especially well done.
I liked the audio version too. For others she is the one that is the reader. She does an excellent job. NOt all author’s do.
Honestly, I thought it was super long and dry. I kept expecting it to get better but I don’t think it was worth the hype honestly.
yes i did and i loved it. great read.
I think it is a good book but too long
loved it. starts slow.
Yes…her voice was genuine and her stories very interesting
Excellent
I just picked it up from the library
Very good.
It’s on my list!!
I loved her memoir and it made me like them even more.
It’s wonderful!
Nope.

Waste of time…
Very good— fairly honest autobiography by an intelligent woman.
I refuse to read any politician’s book.
@Jeanne me too
@Leanne good family trait we have.
@Jeanne yep
Lots of patrons at my library loved it.

Yes I have. And it is awesome
Very good! Has a very comfortable writing style.
Intelligent memoir to read about Michelle.
Haven’t read it myself but bought it for my grandma. She absolutely loved it and enjoyed the insight given of living in the White House.
I’m number 103 in my library hold queue ??
Purchased it, but haven’t yet dived into it. Will be doing that this week!!
On my tbr list.
Got it as a Christmas gift. It’s lovely, she’s very candid in her writing.
Well not bad but same old same old in my opinion.
My family gave it to me for a gift for Valentime. So many books and so little time, I am getting to it next.
Loved it!!!!!
Me too.
NO.
@Sally this post comes up once a week. Are there no other books out there?
I got it for Christmas and is on my to read list. Looking forward to reading it.

It’s very inspiring and I learned interesting thing about the WH and about her life. I’m also listening with the audiobook (read by herself). She is a very admirable person.
It is an awesome read
Five star read!
I enjoyed. Well written.
Yes… An honest memoir! Liked it.
Yes. It’s terrific. I listened to the audiobook which she read. I enjoyed it tremendously. (Only one thing made me NUTS: over and over and over she says “me and … “ fill in another person’s name. She’s a highly educated woman and she uses completely faulty grammar in this way. ?
Yes yes yes
Yes!!
I enjoyed it immensely. I read it in her voice…. It felt authentic to her. Definitely wasn’t a ghost writer involved.
Yes! Good book. I got a lot of insight about Barack and her life. It was so inspiring
Oh yes, very good, easy and fast read.
Nop
Excellent Read!
I’m waiting for it from my library, I’m number 1574!!
It’s on my TBR list.
I enjoyed the audio book very much. She seems down to earth, practical and sincere.
I would like to read this book
Yes.
I thought it was very inspiring, shows you what you can achieve if you work your butt off, but it was almost exhausting to read. 🙂
I may be the only person not interested in reading it lol
@Haley nope. There’s plenty of us.
@Haley not true every week someone posts this book and people post what number they are at the library or that they got for Christmas ..its April and there are so many good books new and old I’m going to start looking at classics that I may have not thought about in highschool. Looking for recommendations..
No way. She’s already done enough damage to school good services, no way I would encourage her to continue spewing her idiocy.
Right, whatever you do, don’t look at the other side. Wouldn’t want any actual information that might change your mind!
@Carolyn I have looked at the other side, actually a member, and she is a user who cost the country millions and negatively impacted children. So spew your rhetoric elsewhere and you try looking at the other side and learning something.
It’s a great read.
Yes …interesting read
I am split about it – it is very good in many ways but it is also quite bitchy in places (which I did not expect) and not particularly reflective. I possibly was too critical of it as it was praised so high and then was let down by the fact that it is a very good book but not outstanding.
I loved it!
it is wonderful
I’m also on my library TBR list
fabulous!!!
I really enjoyed it
Yes, I loved it ?
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant !!!!
fabulous read
Yes i loved it
Yes! Worth reading for sure
Recommend it is like having a conversation with an accomplished person. With lots of humility and openness
I have not, but a friend recommended the audiobook for the optimum experience. She said she both read and then listened. She loved the book in any way, but said having Mrs. Obama’s voice and her own inflections was the best.
I just started it and it is good
It is excellent~~~loved it!
Loved it!
Amazing book. I really,really liked it. Borrowed it from the Library then returned it and went to the bookstore and bought a copy to keep and re read. What an amazing woman.

Listening to this book on audible 3rd chapter
I have been trying to listen to it since it came out and I just can’t get into it.
I’m reading it now. I enjoy the meter readings f the stories, like you are so ting across the table and she is recounting a memory for you. I’m savoring it as a slow read
Loved the book
I got this book for Christmas. It’s on my pile. My book club is reading it for May so won’t be long before I start.
Very good book. I enjoyed learning more about her and her family. Some private moments were funny and sad. I think any woman will come away with a new look about themselves. Michelle is a very educated woman and it shows in her writing. I came away with more respect for her and her family. You really need to read this.
love that book
Loved it !!!
I really love it!!

Uhm… so I take it @Sheila is not a fan of Michelle Obama! ??♀️
@Tassin I’m getting a bit annoyed that this person is being negative to nearly everyone’s responses. I think we all got the point without distracting people who want to read everyone’s response.
My mother adored it. i haven’t had the pleasure yet.
I’ve heard nothing but good about this book! I haven’t read it yet, but plan to.
I read the book and was thoroughly, but not surprisingly, impressed with both the book and our former first lady. I think you will enjoy this book.
It’s on my TBR list
It’s sitting on my shelf but I haven’t read it yet. Can’t wait to read it though!
I really liked it.
No thank you.
YES!!! It’s wonderful!!! Every page! Tells her story from when she was little to after they move out of the White House. You’ll love it!! I felt like I’d spent time with her after I read it. Truly a remarkable, admirable woman! She never compromises her principals. She bends where she has to, but her morals and principals remain in tact. She sets the bar high!
Exactly right!
Outstanding,record breaking book. It is not about politics, it is about becoming the person that she is.
Hubby just bought for me after hearing how long my wait at the library was ?
Yes
Yes, She is wonderfully human and honest . I listened to IT on tape, read by Michelle and felt as if I knew her AS A WONDERFUL human being ..at the end A GOOD READ.
Yes, well written and interesting, and inspiring.
