Description

Gorgeously written, humorous, compelling, life affirming

Gorgeously written, humorous, compelling, life affirming

Beautifully written and disarmingly candid . . . leavened with telling asides, poignant vignettes, painterly character sketches and an occasional corker of a joke

As a work of political literature A Promised Land is impressive. Obama is a gifted writer

Barack Obama is as fine a writer as they come . . . the prose gorgeous in places, the detail granular and vivid

What is unexpected in A Promised Land is not its literary elegance but the former president's candour

I loved A Promised Land . . . President Obama is unusually honest about his experience in the White House, including how isolating it is to be the person who ultimately calls the shots. It's a fascinating look at what it's like to steer a country through challenging times

Deeply enjoyable . . . Obama is such a fluent and warm writer and so good at describing events and people

Beautifully written . . . it's probably the best volume of autobiography from a former president in modern times

Remarkably candid and beautifully written . . . It should bring inspiration for we Brits who want to build our own version of inclusive patriotism here at home

Gives a very human insight into the White House

To keep company with his elegant prose, complex conscience and unmistakable intelligence is a cool drink of water after four years of the other guy . . .

Elegantly written ... Obama comes across as literary, tolerant and dignified. A gifted writer, he maintains the reader's interest for over 700 pages

Deeply enjoyable...Obama is such a fluent and warm writer and so good at describing events and people

His ability to put himself in the shoes of others - even those who treat him with open contempt - is admirable

Honest, powerful and personal...a must read

Barack Obama was the 44th president of the United States, elected in November 2008 and holding office for two terms.
