Let me start off by saying that I am not a fan of politics. Also, I don't read a lot of nonfiction. So...this book was definitely out of my usual comfort zone. That being said, I have the utmost respect for Michelle Obama. She is intelligent, thoughtful, and inspiring. She speaks in the book of having to "earn [her] grace". I think she has more than enough of it. Though there were certainly slow spots that didn't intrigue me (I'm not into the details of campaigning, for example), she presents a fairly candid picture of her life and the things that have motivated and inspired her along the way. It was long, but well worth my time.
