Great material and interesting, but overall told from too detached a point of view. Many times I was left with the impression: "Well that was interesting, but so what? What does it mean - emotionally, socially, and politically?" It's a great set of experiences but its not really tied into a cohesive story. Definitely enjoyed it and have saved some excellent quotes from it, particularly the passages that deal with growing up having a bisected cultural identity. I do plan to read "The Audacity of Hope" at some point.
