"An instant American icon--the first Hispanic on the U.S. Supreme Court--tells the story of her life before becoming a judge in an inspiring, surprisingly personal memoir. With startling candor and intimacy, Sonia Sotomayor recounts her life from a Bronx housing project to the federal bench, a progress that is testament to her extraordinary determination and the power of believing in oneself. She writes of her precarious childhood and the refuge she took with her passionately spirited paternal grandmother. She describes her resolve as a young girl to become a lawyer, and how she made this dream become reality: valedictorian of her high school class, summa cum laude at Princeton, Yale Law, prosecutor in the Manhattan D.A.'s office, private practice, federal district judge before the age of forty. She writes about her deeply valued mentors, about her failed marriage, about her cherished family of friends. Through her still-astonished eyes, America's infinite possibilities are envisioned anew in this warm and honest book, destined to become a classic of self-discovery and self-invention, alongside Barack Obama's Dreams from My Father"--… (mere)

I knew very little about Sotomayor when I started reading this book. I knew she was a Latino woman who served on thr Supreme Court. So reading her autobiography was very interesting!! I think its pretty amazing how she describes her successes in a frank way that isn't bragging. I find it fascinating how many times she contributes part of her success to other people. She seems very humble and self-aware. Overall, I enjoyed reading this book. ( )

The author became the first Hispanic woman to sit on the US Supreme Court. In this book she recounts her childhood, college and lightly her lawyer years, before becoming a judge. She also heavily talks about affirmative action, Puerto Rico's heritage (which I didn't know) and her activist/community service actions. ( )

I thought that the book was excellent. My one minor quibble is that it didn't exhort her own minority community enough to achieve. I have no doub that there are plenty of bright Hispanic people, and her success should serve as an example. If they work hard, stay in school, don't get pregnant, don't get involved with bad people many of them could do fine.

She could make that point a bit more strongly. ( )

I loved this book. Soia Sotomayor is very honest about her family background with an alcoholic father, her diabetes, het mistakes, her doubts and her relationships. She is a good storyteller with great insight in human souls. She is obviously a warm persons who cares a lot. ( )

What a refreshing memoir by a fascinating woman! Her honesty about herself makes her an endearing writer to read. From losing her father at a young age to finding her way in places where people like her were not always welcome, she comes with a big heart and soul. I tagged this as an author I think I would be friends with! ( )

But if the outlines of Justice Sotomayor’s life are well known by now, her searching and emotionally intimate memoir, “My Beloved World,” nonetheless has the power to surprise and move the reader. Whereas the justice’s legal writings have been described by reporters as dry, methodical and technical, this account of her life is revealing, keenly observed and deeply felt.

My Beloved World is filled with inspiring, and surprisingly candid, stories about how the Supreme Court's first Hispanic justice overcame a troubled childhood to attend Princeton and Yale Law School, eventually earning a seat on the nation's highest court. But readers hoping to gain insight from the book into how Ms. Sotomayor might rule in key cases will have to dig deep for hints of her legal philosophy. The book, which covers he life prior to becoming a judge, barely says a word about the Constitution and even less about ideology. Yet one doesn't get the sense that politics were scrubbed from the text; it is rather that the topic isn't of much interest to the author.

Forgive the exile
this sweet frenzy;
