So I read this one slowly, while reading other books. Partially because I wanted to savor it (I happen to be a big fan of Obama's speaking style, although this is the first book of his I've read), and partially because I have a library requesting problem so this book that I own a physical copy of had to wait. It explains his thought process through the early years of his presidency. I didn't find myself agreeing with every choice he made, but it did give me an idea of all the different problems he was facing at once, and the ways he tried to tackle them. I'm looking forward to slowly reading the second half as well.
