Obama's Autobiography

I had wanted to read Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance by Barack Obama for some time and finally got around to doing so. Obama is an excellent writer and tells his story honestly and eloquently. He is an intelligent and complex individual; I found his personal history and early life experiences fascinating. There isn’t a dull moment in this autobiography from growing up bi-racial in Hawaii to his life as an organizer in Chicago to his time in Kenya. He is truly an inspiring man.
