review 1: I read my first autobiography (at least that I can remember). Condoleeza Rice spoke at my high school graduation, and back then she was President Bush's National Security Advisor. I didn't know much about her then, and I wish I did. Having read her autobiography, Rice's life was truly interesting to me, from her childhood in Birmingham, Alabama during the 1960s all the way to her PhD graduation and the connections she made throughout her life that lead her to some of the highest positions one hold in the U.S. I admire her parents the most, and throughout the book, she emphasizes her admiration and love for her parents who believed in education and hard work and determination as the foundation of success.
review 2: For the record, this book is actually calle... mored: A Memoir of Family Extraordinary, Ordinary People. But since that wasn't in Goodreads, I'm guessing this is the right one and they got the title wrong! Anyway, I LOVE Condoleeza Rice. She's brilliant, hard-working, prayerful and just an all around impressive person. I saw her speak earlier this year at an event and I was blown away. So, I enjoyed reading about her life from her perspective. But, it's not necessarily a "page-turner" and if you don't share my love of Condie, then this will be a hard book to get through. less
