Becoming Michelle Obama



I started this because I'd been wanting to listen to a good audiobook which was preferably non-fiction and this came highly recommended. Considering the fact that I am neither American nor did I keep up with any politics while Barack Obama was POTUS wasn't that invested in the book at the beginning. But, the way it was narrated was slowly getting very invested in Michelle Obama's life and the struggles she faced. Although still am not very interested in American politics it was interesting to hear an inside perspective on what happened during that period. It even got me researching more into American politics.
The one thing disliked about this book was how Barack Obama was portrayed as someone almost perfect. It is understandable why she would write him like that but for someone who doesn't know anything about him, it would seem as though there was nothing wrong with him. At this point, needed to do research on his presidency before listening further.
Towards the end of the book kind of got tired of it. Idk why did, but did so I listened to it at 2.5x and finished the book.
Michelle Obama is an idol for a lot of people out there and it was a wonderful experience getting to listen to this book. I highly recommend the book to everyone, particularly the audiobook.
