Editorial Reviews

As a couple, the Obamas have captured interest at a level not seen since the brightest days of JFK and Jackie's Camelot. Christopher Andersen's Barack and Michelle grabs your attention with its blissful cover photo, but it keeps you engrossed with its lively rendering of the president and first lady's life together.

Christopher Andersen's take on Barack and Michelle Obama is that they are "remarkable" for leading lives that many would recognize. Dion Graham hits that angle home by narrating with an intimate tone as Andersen touches upon the glamour of the presidency and President Obama's historical importance but also takes in marital problems, Michelle's concerns about Barack's political career, and Barack's smoking habit. While most of the President's life has become familiar through his own works, details such as his stealthy campaign to head the Harvard Law Review add insight into his personality. Listeners will likely be more interested in Michelle's life and her reactions to her husband’s political ambitions and successes. Andersen reveals the couple through fresh journalistic eyes.
