Jim's Review
🐛
Say what you will about politics — the man can WRITE. Obama's memoir reads less like a political autobiography and more like a literary novel about an improbable journey. Jim appreciated the honesty about self-doubt and the toll of the presidency. At 768 pages it's a commitment, but Jim burrowed through it in three days. Four worms for a memoir that treats readers like adults.
