Reader’s Note
6 out of 10
Half of us listened rather than read it and Yvonne kept saying "but her voice though", which isn't a point about the book. Chicago chapters lovely. White House chapters read like a press release, and I do like her.

The South Side chapters are the book. Everything after the second campaign reads as though a committee sat in on it, politely. I've reserved it twice for other people since, which is my only real measure of anything.7 out of 10@margaretreads

She reads it herself and that's the whole reason to do it in audio. Nineteen hours, I ran it at 1.25 and dropped back to normal for the chapters about her dad. Queue was 88 when I joined. Worth every week of it!8 out of 10@libbyoverdrive
