M. BaileyM. Bailey: I was excited to get the book only to open the box and find it torn. Maybe not a big deal to some but a big deal to me!! I’m sure I’ll amend my review after getting into the books content but 2 stars for now.

Update... The torn book issue is behind me and the books content has changed my review from 2 stars to 4 stars and I'm sure once I get deeper into the book I may even upgrade it to 5 stars. If you're an Obama and/or Springsteen fan (I'm a fan of both) you'll find this book enjoyable. They share stories of their upbringing, similarities, and views on the country. Photographs are plentiful and interesting. I'm glad I made the purchase.

Amazon Customer: A conversation by two of the most compassionate Americans of our time. Easy read and you can pick it up anywhere and enjoy a conversation. Obama is probably the greatest Presidential speech writer of the last 100 years.

Carlota Rodriguez: Vi este libro en una librería, lo hojeé y me encantó, y el precio en Amazon era muy bueno, habida cuenta de que es de formato grande y una impresión impecable con textos y fotos maravillosos.

Denis Montenier: I first learned about the book while watching the CBS Sunday Morning Show a few weeks ago when they had the interview with Obama and Springsteen, and I knew immediately if I could have just one thing for Christmas, this book was it. Fortunately Santa (my wife) delivered and since then, I haven't been able to put it down. (Disclaimer; as I voted for Obama twice, and have seen the Boss in concert seven times, I had a strong bias going in that I would enjoy the book) Suffice it to say just halfway through the book, it has exceeded my wildest expectations and if possible, I would give it a 10 star rating. Briefly, the pictures alone ( many of which I'd never seen before), make the book a keeper but far beyond that, "listening in" on a lengthy conversation between two icons, who despite coming from totally different backgrounds, have developed the most improbable close friendship. How a graduate of Harvard Law School from Hawaii who became the first African American President, and a white high school kid from Freehold, New Jersey who became a rock and roll legend came together is a story by itself, but "hearing" them share their personal thoughts about everything from politics to music...

Joe RobertsJoe Roberts: Ce livre est la retranscription des conversations entre Obama et Springsteen, parues en podcast il y a quelques mois, accompagnées de nombreuses photos (en 302 pages). Il s'agit de la version originale, il vaut donc mieux bien maîtriser l'anglais pour saisir leurs échanges passionnants et leurs nuances. 2 personnages qui incarnent des facettes différentes du "rêve américain": Bruce, un petit gars du New Jersey, fou de rock et de soul, qui a créé un des plus grands groupes au monde, avec ses potes qu'il connaît parfois depuis l'adolescence, le E Street Band. Une véritable bête de scène capable d'électriser un stade entier pendant 3 ou 4h! Face à lui, celui qui est devenu son ami assez récemment, Barack, né à Hawaï, et élu 44e président des Etats-Unis, après avoir été travailleur social à Chicago puis avocat. Le 1er président noir de l'histoire du pays. Des destins différents mais partageant des valeurs communes, Bruce n'a jamais caché ses idées politiques et on les connaît depuis longtemps. Mais c'est avant tout un échange humain et amical qu'on lit, 2 exemples de réussite à force de travail et de volonté farouche, la croyance aussi profonde chez...
