Conversational in both tone and content, Michelle Obama's Becoming is a memoir that was mesmerizing, heartbreaking, and highly informative; it was a read that delved deep into the former first lady's life. I really loved hearing her thoughts and reflections on key events in her life. Mrs. Obama exudes a wisdom so seldom seen. I listened to the audiobook and I was struck by how easily I was absorbed by her voice and how captivating she can make her life stories. I especially loved how she recounted her courtship with Mr. Obama, namely her highly unusual proposal. I also thought it did a great job of illuminating her inner most private thoughts during one of the most impactful presidencies our country has ever experienced.
