This Child Will Be Great: Memoir of a Remarkable Life by Africa's First Woman President Audiobook

" I listened to book after hearing Mighty be our powers. very brave woman "

" Loved it. Read it! Seriously... "

" The story of an Iberian woman's struggles and rise to power in Iberia after 14 years of brutal civil conflict. She is a woman of conviction fighting for democracy and social justice against all odds. "

" Saw her on Jon Stewart's Daily Show - impressive -Again puts into perspective what we so take for granted in this country and what people sacrifice everything to have. Not particularly well written but learned much about African history "

" Excellent book although a bit dispassionate for all she's gone through!!! "

" This is a must-read for anyone who has worked in Liberia. I thought it was extremely fascinating, but I can't say for sure whether people without some background in Liberia would be interested. "

" Really wonderful autobiography... makes you feel truly hopeful! Despite being jailed, and suffering so many obstacles, Liberia has their first woman president... and she is amazing! "

" Fabulous insight into recent Liberian history - great read & recommended. "

" Slow start, better as it went along. Remarkable woman. "

" Read this book during a visit to Liberia and enjoyed it. She writes honestly about her life and it gives perspective to a very violent period in West Africa, ending with optimisim. "

" great way to learn more about Africa and some of the problems facing the entire continent "

" Good for someone interested in Liberian history. I learned that many of their place names are the same as cities and towns in the south, that Ellen Sirleaf is a smart cookie who loves her country and was willing to compromise with dictators to make things happen. Got tired of it, so quit reading. "

" One of the best books I have read in many months! Insightful and inspiring. President Ellen Johnson Sirelaf is a new hero. "

" In telling her story, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf also manages to tell the story of Liberia as a whole and it is fascinating. At times it felt like I was reading a campaign advertisement, but overall it was a fascinating book and I am eager to watch the outcome of the 2012 elections in Liberia. "

" The encouraging narrative details how an honest woman can rise to the top of a male dominated, corrupt political system. Ridding the country of corruption and providing stability to a war-ravaged people. "

" It's not particularly insightful (at times it feels like a UN Millennium Development Goals Program) and she is definitely a politician, but I enjoyed this book for what I learned about Liberia, and she is certainly a remarkable woman. "
