Mediocre book does not exactly cover in detail what its title implies. I was hoping for something with more technical information and a more detailed history. The history portion of the book only covers about a 1/4 of the pages, while the rest speaks on Fx trading and current use of the dollar abroad. Seems like the book couldn't decide what it wanted to be.

Because this was written after Obama graduated law school, but before he started his political career, it caries a voice that is much less guarded than one typically expects from a modern day politician. The honesty and emotion in the book is refreshing and welcome. At 445 pages, this is not a short read, but is captivating and moves quickly.
