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 . . .
