I feel unpatriotic saying this because I do think that President Obama is a great President, but as an author he's not my cup of tea. Maybe because I thought this book would be more about his relationship with his father, or a broader memoir of his life itself. Instead he spent a lot of time talking about his organizer job after college (but before law school). I felt like most of what he spoke of what the least interesting part of his history. I did enjoy the last part where he learned of his grandfather and father's history. Other than that, I was just plain bored.

disclaimer I'm not a big fan of non-comedic memoirs (with the exception of Alan Cumming's book) so this was not in my usual suspects of books to read.
