Reviews"A serious work of candid reflection by a singular figure of early-twenty-first-century America . . . Becoming is refined and forthright, gracefully written and at times laugh-out-loud funny." --Isabel Wilkerson, The New York Times Book Review " Becoming is inspirational without trying to be. From the first words, the very warmth that permeates its author emanates from the pages. . . . Becoming manages to be a coming-of-age tale, a love story and a family saga all in one. More importantly, this book is a reminder that America is still a work-in-progress, and that hope can be an action word if we allow it to be. Becoming is a balm that America needs, from a woman America does not yet deserve." --Angie Thomas, Time "Deeply personal and refreshingly honest . . . She's thoughtful, humorous, bracingly revealing, and when it's time, she does us all the favor of showing us the human side of a man worshipped by so many. . . . It's human and genuine and welcoming to see the layers of humanity she holds open. . . . Michelle Obama's story can maybe inspire you to find a path for your own story." --Shonda Rhimes, Shondaland "A complex, accomplished life recounted with confidence and candor . . . Every page sparkles with directness and grace." --Douglas Brinkley, The Boston Globe

  • Great Read and Great Value

    Best purchase! This is a great autobiographical book, narrated by its author. First time book on disc for me, and I cannot get over what a joy it is to "read" it while I drive here and there. Much insight into two very important families in our nation's history, the Robinsons and Pres. Obama's family, as well as the individuals.

  • Love it!

    Loved the book. Michelle Obama is honest and straight forward. I have only listened to 4 discs so far and I have already cried 3 times. She narrates well, writes well and can surely tell a good story. I always knew she was awesome but listening to the book confirms that and clarifies that she id more than awesome. She inspires me.
