Summary
Michelle Obama opisuje doświadczenia， które ją ukształtowały – od dzieciństwa w południowym Chicago， przez lata pracy na kierowniczym stanowisku， kiedy godziła macierzyństwo z karierą， aż do czasu spędzonego w najsłynniejszym domu świata。 Pisząc z niebywałą szczerością， odwagą i humorem， odkrywa kulisy swojego życia rodzinnego。 Opisuje， jak Obamowie znaleźli się w centrum zainteresowania światowych mediów i jak wyglądało ich życie w Białym Domu przez osiem kluczowych lat， kiedy poznawała Amerykę， zaś Ameryka poznawała ją。 To zaskakująco intymny rozrachunek życia kobiety wrażliwej i stanowczej， która konsekwentnie odmawiała spełniania oczekiwań innych i której historia zachęca， by pójść w jej ślady。
Nie wiem wszystkiego o Ameryce， o życiu， o tym， co przyniesie przyszłość。 Znam jednak siebie。 Mój ojciec Fraser nauczył mnie ciężko pracować， często się śmiać i dotrzymywać słowa。 Moja matka Marian pokazała mi， jak samodzielnie myśleć i korzystać z własnego głosu。 W naszym zatłoczonym mieszkanku na South Side w Chicago pokazali mi， że należy doceniać wartość historii: naszej rodziny， mojej własnej， kraju。 Nawet jeśli bywa brzydka lub niedoskonała。 Nawet jeśli odcisnęła głębsze piętno， niż byśmy chcieli。 Twojej historii nikt ci nie odbierze。 Należy do ciebie。 - Z przedmowy

Truly touched by Michelle’s story and vulnerability。 Whatever background you come from politically， it doesn’t matter， hearing her story made me proud to have a woman and family like the Obamas that led with poise and honor。

Michelle Obama is a national treasure。 I enjoyed her writing immensely， even when she talked about things above my head。 I laughed， cried， and cheered with her through becoming。 She's unbelievably smart， courageous， and kind。 I have so much respect for this woman and I'm so glad that she was able to have such a strong impact on our country。 Michelle Obama is a national treasure。 I enjoyed her writing immensely， even when she talked about things above my head。 I laughed， cried， and cheered with her through becoming。 She's unbelievably smart， courageous， and kind。 I have so much respect for this woman and I'm so glad that she was able to have such a strong impact on our country。 。。。more

I love Michelle Obama， but I was hoping for more。 However， I think she knows the impact and reach of a book like hers and wrote with that in mind。 I hope that future books get into more of the dirt， but I guess I understand why she took the high road on so much。

this book was a fantastic read。 it doesn't feel like something written stiffly by an expert author， but rather like an extremely compelling story told personally by an exceedingly intelligent and kind person。 its hopeful and light while still covering some heavy subjects。 this book was a fantastic read。 it doesn't feel like something written stiffly by an expert author， but rather like an extremely compelling story told personally by an exceedingly intelligent and kind person。 its hopeful and light while still covering some heavy subjects。 。。。more

Eu estou ainda mais apaixonada por essa mulher tão incrível。A história da Michelle poderia ser de uma amiga que conhecemos， já que ela traz esse ar de proximidade e vulnerabilidade que é impossível não se identificar。Dentre tantos momentos emocionantes， o final do mandato， em que ao mesmo tempo que você sente seu medo pela chegada de um presidente que é bem parecido com um certo alguém brasileiro （rs）， a mensagem de esperança foi algo lindo e necessário nesse momento que estamos vivendo。

Overall it was very interesting to learn about Michelle's upbringing and how she got to the position that she has today。 The writing was pretty good， however I do feel like this gave me biography vibes instead of autobiographical。 Overall it was very interesting to learn about Michelle's upbringing and how she got to the position that she has today。 The writing was pretty good， however I do feel like this gave me biography vibes instead of autobiographical。 。。。more

I would not have been able to read this when Trump was President。 Even now， four months into the Biden Presidency， there were so many things that I had a hard time with。 Reading her experience of the near-manor house level of service the President receives， how she worked against it， working to make sure， as much as possible， that Sasha and Malia experienced a normal childhood。 I just found myself thinking that Trump must've felt that level of deference and servitude was due him。 It was really h I would not have been able to read this when Trump was President。 Even now， four months into the Biden Presidency， there were so many things that I had a hard time with。 Reading her experience of the near-manor house level of service the President receives， how she worked against it， working to make sure， as much as possible， that Sasha and Malia experienced a normal childhood。 I just found myself thinking that Trump must've felt that level of deference and servitude was due him。 It was really hard to read about how much care and compassion she brought to the role of First Lady， and think about how much lip service and vacuousness Melania brought。 It made me think a lot about my college years （she's only a couple years younger than me）， and how， while I was aware， I also didn't do very much to work to make the world a better place。 I'm doing more now than I did then， and am much more aware。 But it was very hard to get to the end and not feel sad， even though she is still optimistic。 Even though we succeeded in making Trump a one-term， twice-impeached former President。 It's still not over， and I guess I really， really have a hard time with the sure knowledge that it will never be。 But there were times where I cried reading the her love and determination for everyone。 So， in the end， I'm really glad I read it。 。。。more

Loved this book， thought it was a really interesting insight into Michelle's early life and how that shaped her as a woman today。I'm not usually a fan of memoir/autobiographical books as they tend to be overly familiar and too chatty for me， but Becoming is written in a beautifully balanced way that feels distant but friendly - the perfect tone for an autobiography。 The structure of the book I also liked - I've read some memoirs that are divided into themes which means the narrative jumps around Loved this book， thought it was a really interesting insight into Michelle's early life and how that shaped her as a woman today。I'm not usually a fan of memoir/autobiographical books as they tend to be overly familiar and too chatty for me， but Becoming is written in a beautifully balanced way that feels distant but friendly - the perfect tone for an autobiography。 The structure of the book I also liked - I've read some memoirs that are divided into themes which means the narrative jumps around a lot， but I am glad Michelle stuck to a chronological timeline for this book。Michelle has a really great way of mentioning something in the early chapters that she references later on， which I thought was a fantastic way to tie her story together and also demonstrate that she is still the same person from Chicago， despite the huge change her life has undergone。 I didn't know much about Michelle Obama either before reading this book， so I found it a really interesting perspective of what it's like inside the White House - I learned so much about American politics too！ Only issue I found with the book is the last 4 years of Michelle in the White House felt very rushed。 I understand that there needed to be more emphasis on her early experience during Barack's presidency， but it felt like the final 4 years were barely explored or mentioned， like the book was hurrying to close。 I think I'd have preferred an extra 50-100 pages just to unpack her later years a bit more。Overall， a really great autobiography from Michelle that's interesting， empowering， and moving。 。。。more

What I love the most about this book is Michelle's message interwoven throughout her autobiography。 There's power in allowing yourself to be heard， in owning your unique story， in using your authentic voice。 More importantly， to me--there's grace in being willing to know and hear others。 What I love the most about this book is Michelle's message interwoven throughout her autobiography。 There's power in allowing yourself to be heard， in owning your unique story， in using your authentic voice。 More importantly， to me--there's grace in being willing to know and hear others。 。。。more

It took me a while to get through this because I did part on audio and part written after my library loan ran out。 I much， much prefer the audio version！ In fact， I almost gave up after switching because， without Michelle's warm voice behind the words， the writing felt dry。 However， I'm glad I stuck with it because the ending brought it all together and left my feeling inspired！ It took me a while to get through this because I did part on audio and part written after my library loan ran out。 I much， much prefer the audio version！ In fact， I almost gave up after switching because， without Michelle's warm voice behind the words， the writing felt dry。 However， I'm glad I stuck with it because the ending brought it all together and left my feeling inspired！ 。。。more

Although some of the details felt redundant， I loved reading and kind of growing with Michelle as she reflects on her past and ponders what’s next。 This book provided me new perspectives on politics， Chicago and what it means to Michelle to empower young women and eat healthy。 I cried a couple of times throughout this book when she talks about grief and the loss of young souls。 I loved this book。 I’ve seen people discuss how this book is about Barack， while I agree — it’s more than that。 It’s ab Although some of the details felt redundant， I loved reading and kind of growing with Michelle as she reflects on her past and ponders what’s next。 This book provided me new perspectives on politics， Chicago and what it means to Michelle to empower young women and eat healthy。 I cried a couple of times throughout this book when she talks about grief and the loss of young souls。 I loved this book。 I’ve seen people discuss how this book is about Barack， while I agree — it’s more than that。 It’s about how she met him， fell in love with him and why， and their story and she supported him but remained true to herself under the spotlight during his entire presidency。 。。。more

So many emotions！ I loved this book and learning more about Mrs。 Obama and her family and life。 Mostly I thought the chapters were cleverly constructed to lay the groundwork， move on to another topic， then come back to what was hinted at at the beginning。
