A look into the life of President Barack Obama from his birth up until successful bid to win the presidency of the United States. Barack was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. His mother was from Hawaii, and his father was from Kenya. Growing up, Barack moved to Indonesia and back to Hawaii. After graduating high school, Barack moved to the mainland of the United States and graduated from Colombia University in 1983. He then became involved in politics in Chicago before studying law at Harvard. He then worked a variety of jobs as a professor, lawyer, politician and many more. He was eventually elected to the Illinois State Senate in the late 1990s and worked his way up to becoming junior senator of the state of Illinois in Washington D.C. In 2008, Senator Obama announced his plans to run for President of the United States where he defeated Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries and John McCain in the general election. I found this book to be very insightful. It had several interesting facts that I did not know about President Obama. This book was interesting because it was written right after he won the election in 2008, so it didn’t have any information as being president. The book still was a good read and very informative. The book was very well organized and details in order from birth to presidential victory. Good book to do a presidential biography. This edition is a children's book, so I the reading went rather fast and easy, keeping the total number of pages low and probably omitted lots of burdensome details and references. So, it was an easy and enjoyable read. Nonetheless, the book taught me a lot about Obama's family background and sparked some of that enthusiasm I felt about him back to life. It will be interesting to read one of his books, or a more extensive biography. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
