specificwonderland 's review for:

Becoming by Michelle Obama
3.0

This book was pretty much what I expected. She's careful, but not necessarily dishonest and guarded, and the book seems handled, finessed and glossed over to me. I think she has interesting viewpoints and shares her slice of life from the White House, a POV few can claim. I felt that at its worst, this book had a lot of "aw shucks" to it and at best, it was elegant and reflective.
