A GAME OF CHARACTER A Family Journey from Chicago's Southside to the Ivy League and Beyond

Michelle Obama's brother, Oregon State basketball coach Craig Robinson, talks about growing up with the future First Lady, his basketball career, and the 2008 presidential campaign, finding moral lessons in both politics and sports. While many listeners may have preferred to hear Robinson narrate, Korey Jackson tells Robinson's stories of Sunday drives, street basketball, and the Robinson family's tight budget with a warmth laced with humor that will make listeners forget it's not Robinson talking. While it's Robinson's life story, much of it focuses on his famous sister, and Jackson's voice as he talks about Michelle reveals that closeness. Many of the stories are familiar by now, but they're well told here. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2010]
