La Audacia de la Esperanza: Reflexiones de como restaurar el Sueno Americano (Abridged) Audiobook

" I am not a fan of this. I think I need to put this book down and read his other one that is more about his life then his political views "

" pretty interesting, as politics go. "

" I read this book shortly after Barack Obama had become President of the United States, and I liked what I saw. I liked how he described American society and the problems it faces, I liked his ideas as to how to turn disadvantages into advantages, and, overall, I liked his writing style. "

" I enjoyed the second half of this book more than the first. He is a well-written man who has/had well-rounded ideas of the world and society. "

" I voted for him. I am fan. I read the book. Right on Barack. keep up the good work. if you are not a fan of Barack don't waist your time. "

" read a long time ago. He is a believable writer, i remember being able to identify with him while reading it. "

" What did he say? "

" Wow. Even though I'm already completely in awe of this man, the book is amazing. It really hits home as far as how, as a country, we have become so polarized. Even if you don't like him, read it. Better yet, LISTEN to it. Might change your mind. "

" Nothing new, but engaging and interesting nonetheless. "

" Lets be thankful for an intelligent president. Inspired me to have a positive attitude again about my country. "

" Interesting to read now after 6 years have past. "

" I enjoyed this book, but I think President Obama missed his calling in life. I think I'd like him better as my professor than President. Also, I think I would really enjoy a book written by his wife. "

" Love, love, love, love, love, love the man and what a lovely book. A check went in the mail to the re-election campaign just now. "

" I thought this was good. I liked knowing the early childhood iformation, high school and his eventual excellence in college and law school. "

" This was a great story of achievement and perseverance. "

" Obama is a funny guy. I have his story of a modern day Abraham tying his son up on the roof of his apartment stuck in my head... Other than that, his ideas were inspiring and hopeful like chicken soup. "

" Obama wrote this prior to being elected President. The writing is comfortable and familiar, with a deep sense of humility. There is an idealism here that the realities of the Presidency have sadly dulled. "

" President Obama really wrote this book? Within a two-year times span, working as a senator, a young family, and commuting between DC and Illinois, he was able to generate all the statistics and write this book? Incredulous. "

" Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream "

" I can't lie, I did this one as an audiobook, and it was perfect for my morning commute! I did almost a chapter each way! "

" satisfied my curiosity of him. sounds like a boy "looking for himself" confused; not yet a man; and no understanding of the American way of life. No way would I vote for him. "

" He didn't write it, Bill Ayers did. "

" This was alright, but not as good as I expected. He seems a bit too "wordy", and repeats himself quite a bit. It seems like a manuscript for his campaign slogans. "

" Read chapter on Foreign Policy for an interesting and candid look at post WWII American FP. Illuminating! "

" Great book for understanding America and the man presntly in the spot light. Seems similar to Blair in his early years "

" Love to hear this man's voice while I'm reading! "

" Initially this felt more like a political manifesto than a biography and whilst there are quite a few sections like this, there is more than enough personal insight into the man and the issues that he faced as a Senator that makes this a compelling read. "

" It took me a really long time to finish this book, not because it wasn't good, just too much other stuff going on. Obama is a poetic writer and very inspirational. Can't wait to read the next one. "

" Read it if you geek out over policy. "

" I like the way Barack Obama thinks- he is definitely a hero for the people as President of the U.S. I like his style of writing and this book is like a mini version of U S congress and how it works. Alos strong belief in how America needs to be. "

" This is a valuable read for anyone who wants to get in the mind of President Obama. The book's arguments are generally weak and emotional, but they are worthwhile because of who is giving them. "

" I had the audio version and could not finish due to then Senator Obama's monotone voice. It made me want to go to sleep. I like his campaign and Presidential speeches much more. "
