From an Amazon.com review of the book:

When I first read the synopsis of The Obama Chronicles I was a bit skeptical. This project of interviewing people across the country and then retelling them under the guise of a book that would honestly explore various facets of Obama's presidency and its implications seemed far fetched and a tad ambitious to me.

However, after reading the book, I have to say that the author managed to make it work. I actually enjoyed the first hand stories of people who are basically scattered all across the country, talking about their views, opinions and predictions on what it means to have Obama as president - and where they see it going.

This book is interesting because it features uncensored and first hand accounts from every day people who have nothing to gain or lose by being honest about their president and the state of their country.

This makes for fascinating reading and is even more interesting because of the variety of people quoted - which, I believe, represents a fair representation of just how populated and varied the US can truly be.

I liked this one.
