Reviewing for Real Page Turners

The book contains quotes of our first lady. I expected something different but after getting over my surprise it was ok. The author just collected quotes on different topics. And this is how the book is organized: Headline and then quotes on a topic, next headline and so on..
Some of the quotes are funny, some are touching, some are smart, and some are plain boring like nothing else could be found to be printed. It is ok to get an impression but don't expect a biogaphy!

This book of Michelle Obama's quotes shows an intelligence & down-to-earth, realistic, no nonsense attitude that so many people lack these days. Mrs. Obama is an incredible woman, unique & confident. I read some of her quotes to my daughter every night because I want her to see how a truly good woman thinks about certain things, and I want her to have excellent, trustworthy role models like Mrs. Obama. There are some women (Palin) who use the wrong techniques to try to get ahead in the world. I want my daughter to know she never has to be like those kinds of women, and that she can absolutely achieve great things when she has role models such as an incredible woman like Michelle Obama.
