DREAMS OF MY FATHER by Barack Obama

I feel a little guilty for confessing that I didn't finish this.  Sorry, Barack, I think you're wonderful, and your story is interesting enough, but not enough to sustain my interest when there are other books I'm just itching to read.

It's written well, too, but seems a little bloodless at times: maybe you didn't go deep enough into your experiences.  Was this almost like an assignment to present yourself to the public before you were nominated for President?Like, tell them just enough so they get to know you and perhaps even understand you a little, but don't tell them too much, y'know?
