I ordered this book after reading one quote from it, which I've now misplaced. I thought it would elucidate how Obama thinks differently from most people, on a higher conceptual level, but instead it was a barely tolerable - even for me, a very fervent Obama fan - hagiography. It should have been called Outside Obama's Brain, because there's nothing new in there.
