Review Summary: Recommended! |
Date: 2008-11-27 |

Details: This review is offered to inform potential readers about the merits of this book, based on my own opinion, having completed the book last week. In brief, the book is written in a simple style, and provides a history of the genesis and development of Sarah Palin, the person, the woman, and eventually, the candidate. It is profoundly clear that Sarah is endowed with great intellect, talent, and leadership capacity. I am quite certain many will relate to this great AMERICAN story. For those who choose to debase and degrade her, I offer the following: treat others the way you would want to be treated. Get in touch with your "inner Sarah." For many weeks, both pre and post election, I have witnessed a startling lack of understanding about what decent discourse should be. I have seen such unbridled hostility, mostly from the left, and especially within the commentary about any book having to do with Republicans, Conservative thought, or traditional values. But, I digress. Buy the book. Begin to understand the "star" of Sarah Palin. You won't be disappointed. |

Review Summary: Palin is Truly an Amazing Person! |
Date: 2008-11-22 |
|

Details: Sarah Palin's critics need to read this book. Governor Palin has accomplished so much in a short time. She is a reformer, a loving wife, caring mother, motivator, and provider. Her life would make an amazing movie. One chapter of her book rivals all 457 pages of Barack's "Dreams of My Father".
Author Kaylene Johnson does a great job of painting the real Palin upon the pages of this biography. Palin does not know the meaning of the word "can't", and that is evident in her political decisions. She truly did take on the "good-ole-boys" network.
Sarah Palin's detractors have good reason to fear her; this woman can hunt and fish, play sports, cook, run a household while running a state, and look good while doing it all. This woman represents the type of person who deserves our respect and admiration! And she has a terrific family!
Buy this book and get to know the REAL Sarah Palin. You'll love her!
May God bless.
See ya next review!

Review Summary: Better Late Than Never |
Date: 2008-11-20 |

Details: Finally, all the real answers you would have expected the traditional media to provide, but somehow they seemed to miss the story during the campaign.
This biography captures the person behind the smear and petty attacks of both opponents and fellow Republican.
Refreshingly candidate, not your typical "instant-bio" book that seems to always surface around election time.

Review Summary: Good short view |
Date: 2008-11-19 |

| |
|
Details: "Sarah" is a short book that gives a good view of the woman who became a National figure overnight. It gives some depth to the references Palin made on the campaign trail before the election. The book is easy to read and can be finished in a few hours. Do not expect an in-depth analysis of anything. Still, it will remain a book of interest to those who follow a certain brand of Republican politics. |

Review Summary: Good read about an extraordinary woman |
Date: 2008-11-17 |

Details: For just a few short month's Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has been in the media spotlight. However, the residents of Alaska have known her for some time.
The book "Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned the Political Establishment Upside Down" chronicles everything from the youth to the family life to the political career of this accomplished woman.
Along with 2008 presidential candidate John McCain, Palin championed the story of the average person. And, through the words of author Kaylene Johnson and a number of personal photographs, readers come to learn that in many cases, her story is their story.
All in all, the book is a quick read. At times, it delves into some statistical information but for the most part it offers a more intimate reflection on the life and times of the most popular governor in the United States.
