Biographies are difficult to review because either the person has to have lived an exceptional life or you have to be fully invested in them and their story. While Michelle Obama has lived an inspiring life, and is an inspiring woman there was nothing in this biography that gripped me. Her childhood, her tenacity, her aspirations were all good but there was nothing that tipped it over the edge for me to make it exceptional. Nothing she said was new or put in a new light.

I'm generally not a big fan of biographies anyway and this has just kind of confirmed why. *shrugs*
