Nice to see her viewpoint on the last election cycle and I was impressed at the way she handled differences of opinion within the campaign. She is definitely a class act; I guess that drives our liberal fanatical friends into climbing the walls.

The one thing I like about Sarah Palin is the reaction of the “lame stream media” this is more fun to watch the frustration with how ineffective they are at destroying a class act. What often goes through my mind is a classic cartoon series of Road Runner and the coyotey. The coyotey being the “drive-by media” is so full of schemas and nefarious plots and they look like shills of the White House.

You could always count on the coyotey to put together some nefarious trap that involved rock ledge and the tipping point then Road Runner spins through and doesn't trip the trap, he investigates, Boom! You can almost see the Democratic operatives rolling their eyes in disgust.

Hats off to a true political fighter Sarah Palin.

I finished the book last week. I could not put it down, it was a great read. I recommend it to everyone. Reading the book, it was like she was speaking to you. I love how she details her political views so that everyone has an idea what she stands for. AWESOME book, all she wants is what is best for this country. God Bless her, she will continue to fight for us

I got the Audio read by Sarah and it is GREAT. She is such a cheerful person and reads if with emphasis you don't get with only the book.

My wife and I have read it. It is hard to believe that some of the reviewers have read it from cover to cover. The first 200 pages are the best and most important part. They tell you who she was and who she has become. It’s a heck of a story and should be read by everyone, especially girls and women.

One thing nobody is saying is that this is probably the first woman to ever achieve the things she has without a wealthy man carrying her along. She instead chose a strong husband and was blessed with a wonderful supportive family. In fact, it seems like most Alaskans are part of that family.

I am at the half way point. Starting now to read the part where McCain picks her. I’d probably be done by now, but I am also readng Glenn Becks book The Christmas Sweater. I have never read two books at once before.

There's an added bonus to reading the book. I can't explain it, but you just "feel better" after you read it. I'm still exploring "why" this happens. But I've had several folks tell me the same thing.

Is the book listed as her the author, or her name, and then “together” with.

If someone wrote the book for her, using her words and ideas, they would be listed. If she wrote the books, using as we all do, an editor, then SHE indeed wrote the book and the Katie Couric and the rest should STFU about it.

“The first 200 pages are the best and most important part. They tell you who she was and who she has become.”

Exactly. Any critic from the left or right who's argument is that her only real experience was she was a small town mayor need to dive in to those first 200 pages. As Mayor and as Governor, any less of a person would of folded under the pressure of the career politician old-boy network she constantly had to battle.

One of my favorite quotes from the first half of the book. “If God did not want us to eat animals, He wouldn’t of made them out of meat.”

I’m looking forward to reading it next year when I’m back from my Iraq deployment. They don’t exactly sell it over here, lol.

The best thing about Obama being elected, is that the MSM ruined their credibility with most Americans with all the partisan attacks and smears on her that continue a year after the fact. While Sarah Palin reloaded and is stronger and more popular than ever.

“There’s room for all of Alaska’s animals, right next to the mashed potatoes”.

My favorite line from the book.

I couldn’t put the book down but at the end I was so enraged at what the America hating power crazed leftists did to her and her family.

They continue to smear her and her children.

Shamelessly.

She didn’t whine, she put the truth out there and I have not heard a single person refute a single line in her book.

McCain had some pukes working his campaign. Shame on you Johnnie boy.

I just finished it to. Note to self — move to Alaska. It was a lovely book. She is so real, so funny, so normal. It was very refreshing and uplifting. Kind of depressing to see the uck in politics that she ran into, tho. She’s a spunky one.
