Michelle Obama: First Lady of Hope examines, for the first time, her astonishing career, from her undergraduate years at Princeton, where she majored in African Studies, to her continuing education at Harvard Law School, where she obtained a Juris Doctor degree. Michelle Obama: First Lady of Hope will further examine her influence on her husband, her role in his presidential campaign, and her political beliefs. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Good Starter on MichelleMichelle Obama: First Lady of Hope Fortunately for Elizabeth Lightfoot the author (and us the readers) despite not being able to interview Michelle Obama, she had all the media information and Michelle's friends to turn to to bring out the book in record time. It is a good starter for us who wanted to get to know the first Lady and her husband in a better way. I thought the author's comparision to her own situation helped us associate Michelle's life with us the normal(??) human beings. There ... Read More Rating:  - DISAPPOINTINGI was so looking forward to a book which would provide some in-depth and substantive information about this remarkable woman who will soon become our First Lady. However, I found that this book fell short of achieving that goal. It was apparent that the author had a short time to write the material in order to fulfill her editor's request and it showed. The inadequacies were underscored when the author revealed that she had not spoken to the subject of this book. How can you write an informed piece ... Read More Rating: - Very DisappointingIn the 16 page Preface, and following 10 page Introduction, we learn quickly that Lightfoot was given two months to write the book, and a few days to update it after the general election. We also learn she never interviewed Michelle, and begin to hear her suppositions as to how the Obama family compares to her own. Surprisingly, the Preface and Introduction prove to be better than the following Chapters 1-10 (169 pages of medium sized font, wide spaced print) which are followed by 3 pages of Acknowledgements ... Read More Rating:  - excellentthoughtful and well-written. an interesting if somewhat unconventional delivery--the author combines michelle's story with a bit of her own, often suggesting an allegory between mrs. obama's humble roots and the happenings within her own respective life. this does occasionally detract from the main focus, but it also provides some interesting subtext that makes an at-times detached presidential spouse seem all the more familiar. overall, 'grace and intelligence' provides us with the rare biography that not only ... Read More Rating: - An American Success Story that Inspires MeI am so excited to read this biography of Michelle Obama. She is smart, beautiful, hard-working, and a dedicated mother. For people who say you can't do it all, Michelle is the proof that you can! And she does it with grace and elegance, all from the heart, with sincerity that many other political figures don't show. My only regret with this Kindle edition is that I can't share it with my daughter! UPDATE: Now that I've finished the book, I have to say I'm very disappointed. I am a BIG fan of ... Read More
