Coffee Break Time - A Non-Science Bestseller!:
A New York Times book review of "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream" (Amazon UK | US) by Barack Obama (website)
"Mr. Obama's new book, "The Audacity of Hope" - the phrase comes from his 2004 Democratic Convention keynote address, which made him the party's rising young hope - is much more of a political document. Portions of the volume read like outtakes from a stump speech, and the bulk of it is devoted to laying out Mr. Obama's policy positions on a host of issues, from education to health care to the war in Iraq.
But while Mr. Obama occasionally slips into the flabby platitudes favored by politicians, enough of the narrative voice in this volume is recognizably similar to the one in "Dreams From My Father," (UK | US) an elastic, personable voice that is capable of accommodating everything from dense discussions of foreign policy to streetwise reminiscences, incisive comments on constitutional law to New-Agey personal asides."
