Reviews and Recommendations
We've comprehensively compiled reviews of Becoming from the world's leading experts.
Barack Obama Former USA PresidentOf course, @MichelleObama’s my wife, so I’m a little biased here. But she also happens to be brilliant, funny, wise – one of a kind. This book tells her quintessentially American story. I love it because it faithfully reflects the woman I have loved for so long. (Source)
Piers Morgan Congrats to @MichelleObama on sensational sales of her new book #Becoming. I always take people as I find them & when I met her at the White House, she was a delightfully warm, friendly & genuine lady. A great First Lady & now a best-selling author. https://t.co/nlSUHI01SM (Source)

Miracle Olatunji I’m about halfway through and I’ve already learned so many heart-warming lessons from her life and impact on others through her leadership. (Source)
Sharon Marcus People want to know about the private lives of public people; Michelle Obama obliges us by providing an insider view of life in the White House. We learn about her first kiss, about the fact that she failed the bar exam the first time she took it, about her going to couples counseling with her husband. This is not a biography that withholds the tidbits one craves when reading about a famous person. (Source)
Mary Burkey This is a case where you have to hear Michelle Obama read her story. It’s her story and she puts her whole emotional self into it. (Source)
