It is an inspiring journey of a middle class person to first lady of US. One of the finest autobiographies I have read in recent days. What an inspiring and moving memoir?

At places, the book sounded more like rant, where the lady is complaining just about everything.
While her struggles were very much real, complaining that her husband wasn’t doing enough (he was in the middle of presidency battle) for her family, isnt what I liked reading. Remember, Obama inherited the economy at its worst, when no one alive knew anything like that.

It was refreshing to read an autobiography which did not confine itself to the high points. It only enhanced my respect for the Obamas, having been an active witness to their dignified conduct during the Obama presidency.
