This week: Michelle ObamasBecoming.
Is the book any good?
Former first ladies arent famous for their scintillating prose.
But it is enormously effective at distilling Obamas poise, intelligence, and warmth into a single 421-page package.
Honestly, most people and critics dont care if the language sings.
Its been her calling card for years, and inBecomingshe pulls it off yet again.
But the main subject of critical discussion is what she is and isnt willing to share.
TheWashingtonPostnotesthat its not a Washington read full of gossip and political score-settling.
But now shes an anomaly, a throwback to a not-long-ago time.
So whats not to like?
Shes a joy; she makes people happy, damn it!
The book is a tonic were all happy to take a swig of right now.
