Story
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

First half is interesting.
Reviewed: 30-06-20
The first half where Michelle talks about her childhood and family is really interesting. You get to know so much of her values, foundation, struggle and simple working class upbringing.
Second half is a bit of a drag, once Obama's political career starts. Full of just explainations and justifications for real life incidences. Also lengthier than needed.
Overall a good book. And was really worthwhile listening her story in her own voice.
