I don't read mysteries very often, so maybe I'm easily impressed, but I really enjoyed this one.

I have never read a book like this before. It's going to take me a while to digest it, but I appreciated the telling of real history through a fictional family.

Better than I expected. A bit redundant, though I suppose that has purpose when you're trying to drive home a point.

This book was not very well written and frustrating at times, but I'm being generous with my rating because it's such an important story to reflect on.

This was a powerful story and might end up being my favorite book this year. Just an incredible story that left me teary eyed more than a few times.

I loved this book. It was very well written and I really enjoyed learning about Michelle's life. It also brought me back to a lot of historic moments and left me nostalgic for the Obama presidency. Politics aside, they're good people and I miss them. I will probably re-read this someday.

Overall I really enjoyed reading her story and learning about her life. Toward the end, the chapters needed to be shorter and it got kind of meandering.

Started out loving it but by the end was wondering if I hated it?

It was very well written, but for most of the book it was easy to put down and I could've just left it. I think maybe this genre just isn't for me.

This book was pretty mediocre at best. It didn't suck me in; I could easily put it down. It was very “meh.” I can't believe they turned it into a show. I gave it three stars because I managed to finish it at least.

One of my favorite books and why I learned Dari. I actually have a copy of the book in Persian. I will re-read it again someday.

The writing was very cheesy, but it was an entertaining and easy read.

One of my favorite books I've read, and one of those books I couldn't stop talking about. I still talk about it years later and want to re-read it. Fascinating history, especially as someone who has worked as a cryptologic analyst.
