I bought this earlier this year. I thought I ought to read it while he's still in office, although it was written before he was an elected politician of any kind.

An interesting and enjoyable memoir, covering his life, family and career up until the time of his marriage to Michelle (but nothing really concerning their meeting/courtship). Occasionally there are bits of purple prose, but nothing too awful. He very sensibly resisted the urge to edit his words when the book was reissued in 2004
