Audacity of Hope

I like "Dreams from my father" much better than this, but I acknowledge it's sort of comparing apples to pears because the thrust and content of this book are different. Obama irons out his views ranging from values to international relations, and writes lucidly. But at times, he can drone on a bit too much and can come across as trying very hard to impress. His treatment of the highly politicized topic of race is good, but even better was his landmark speech on this topic in Pennsylvania earlier this year during the campaign. That was excellente.
