Les vurderinger
«Gorgeously written, humorous, compelling, life affirming»
«Beautifully written and disarmingly candid . . . leavened with telling asides, poignant vignettes, painterly character sketches and an occasional corker of a joke»
«As a work of political literature A Promised Land is impressive. Obama is a gifted writer»
«Barack Obama is as fine a writer as they come . . . the prose gorgeous in places, the detail granular and vivid»
«What is unexpected in A Promised Land is not its literary elegance but the former president's candour»
«I loved A Promised Land . . . President Obama is unusually honest about his experience in the White House, including how isolating it is to be the person who ultimately calls the shots. It's a fascinating look at what it's like to steer a country through challenging times»
«Deeply enjoyable . . . Obama is such a fluent and warm writer and so good at describing events and people»
«Beautifully written . . . it's probably the best volume of autobiography from a former president in modern times»
«Remarkably candid and beautifully written . . . It should bring inspiration for we Brits who want to build our own version of inclusive patriotism here at home»
«Gives a very human insight into the White House»
«To keep company with his elegant prose, complex conscience and unmistakable intelligence is a cool drink of water after four years of the other guy . . .»
«Elegantly written ... Obama comes across as literary, tolerant and dignified. A gifted writer, he maintains the reader's interest for over 700 pages»
«Deeply enjoyable...Obama is such a fluent and warm writer and so good at describing events and people»
«His ability to put himself in the shoes of others - even those who treat him with open contempt - is admirable»
«Honest, powerful and personal...a must read»
