A story of stoicism without a happy ending. 听这本书的有声书的地点为：户外+健身房，而好几次差点当众哭出来。书是VP他自己念的，而全书他自己唯一哽咽的地方就是Beau去世的那一瞬间。感叹Obama和Biden的组合，从这本书里也间接看到了Obama是个多么好的人。可惜Beau Biden过世太早。如果Joe Biden真的参加竞选了，也许结局真的会不同。书里并没有写到他对trump presidency的看法，毕竟写的时候大选结局未定。乐观的Biden也是没有猜到结局会如此可怕——他在对未来nostalgic的时候，全美大部分人都在渴望过去。请2020年务必参选，就像Beau说的一样: It’s your duty.

Unlike most books by politicians, "Promise Me, Dad," is more committed to communicating to us the values and principles of a family man who happens to have been a politician. That, however, is not what compelled me to start this review before evern getting through Chapter 3.
Chapter 2 was simply the most compelling narration regarding the hopes, fears, dreams and nightmares through which a family succumbs while dealing with cancer. The brief, yet detailed explanation of the surgery performed on Beau Biden goes along way to showing us this is not just another political narrative.
I bought both the Kindle and the Audible version. I greatly enjoy reading along while a narrator reads the book. Much as I did as a child at home listening to Mom, or a student in school listening to the teacher. With VP Joe Biden, not himself a professional voice actor, reading this highly personal account, this is possibly the most important read of 2017.
