David's self depreciating account, humorously delves into his awkward coming of age as an Obama Whitehouse speechwriter, eventually disabused of starry-eyed political idealism but discovering a stronger raison d'etre.

Funny, poignant idealism-to-wisdom tale

Having just listened to Michelle Obama's, Alyssa Mastromonaco book's and Beck Dorey-Stein's for their take on the "Obama years" at the Whitehouse I needed MORE MORE MORE Obama. haha. What can i say? I have an Obama problem!

This memoir was great to listen to!

The narrative was quick, punchy, interesting and it was LOL funny in places, what an absolute breeze to get through - I felt genuinely bummed when I took my headphones off that I was leaving his world and going into mine (not that mine's bad! I stress I love my life!) but wow, what an experience to have been there at the time and made a significant impact on the output.

I would recommend this book for anyone interested in the Obama years from a light perspective (i.e not too heavy on the politics more the events) probably also good if you liked Elon Musk / Steve Jobs memoirs with a view on how to establish yourself in the world after university.

Just to let you know, I work for Audible, but the views expressed in this review are 100% my own.

Amazing! Loved this guys humour and narration

A very amusing and at times moving take on a young mans journey. It makes me yearn for the kindness of the Obama years. I highly recommend this book.

I loved this book

I keep listening to your book. It’s funny and self-effacing. Mostly though, when it comes to your account of things, Mr Axelrods, and President Obama’s, they’re all pretty much the same. God bless you all . Xx
