4.5 stars!!

I’ve had Becoming pre-ordered since I saw it was coming out. I was so excited to read it. Per my Amazon account, I purchased The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama in early 2007. When I read this book, I was moved and hoped this man would be president one day. When I was in my early 20’s, I volunteered for his 2008 campaign. My point is, I’ve always loved the Obamas, but I never knew much about Michelle. After reading this book, I feel like I know so much more. Her story is inspiring, fascinating, and I adore her.

If you’re going to read this book, I can’t recommend the audio book enough. Michelle herself narrates it and I always love when authors narrate their own stories. It makes them that more personal and captivating. I loved reading about her past, her family, and of course when she met Barack and their story. I could relate to some of her story and learned a lot of new things about her. This was a fantastic autobiography and I can’t recommend it enough!

Thanks, hun! Yes! The audio was so good :D


Charlotte Applegate I just finished listening to the audio book; I finished in tears at her emotion particularly at the end. She's a classy, intelligent woman, and the story of her life is inspiring.

Barbara Curious as to why 4/5 stars when you "can't recommend it enough"? along with such a great review?


Joyce I am listening to it now. I totally agree with your review even though I am older. The Obamas did give us all hope.
