I’m on page 85. The part about that librarian was interesting. I remember during the campaign when the story broke that Palin had tried to ban books. The truth of the matter was that she simply asked a question of the librarian (I won’t go into detail for those who haven’t read yet) and the librarian who probably just didn’t agree with Palin’s politics or something turned into a story about book banning which it was nothing of the sort. Good book. I like her even more now.
Hang on to your hat, the Palin bashers have been out in force lately and will be here shortly, denouncing us Palin “cuktists.”
I bought it for my sister for Christmas on the condition that I get to read it when she’s done. Does she discuss her reasons for stepping down as governor? With something like an 80% popularity rating I never understood that.
I usually listen to audio books, but had to have a hard copy of Palin’s autobiography. I’m about half-way through it. It reads like a long, long letter from a best friend. Good read so far.
I got the book from my husband for Christmas. I read it in 3 days. I loved it. She is a fascinating woman. I just love her.
Enjoyed reading the book a lot. I like Sarah, although I suspect she’s more hyperactive than I am.
Reading the book did make me a little hard to get along with for a few days. I’m tired of being a supporter, rather than a leader. And worse, tired of being expected to support weak Republicans and outright RINO’s.
Sarah is a real person who has worked just about every minute of her teen and adult life. I identify both with her working to get through college and with the fact that she just goes on out there, even tilts against windmills. Sometimes, she does the right thing, knowing it will hurt and win more enemies than friends.
I can also identify with her dilemma when faced with the wrong-headed McCain campaign. She didn’t want to undermine people she had every right to believe were the experts. And she didn’t want to be the whiner or diva who ran to McCain with grievances. (I wish she had - the best moments in the campaign were when she said what the rest of us were saying.)
Absolutly one of the best books I’ve read in years!
I just hope she reaches out to Sweaty Teddy for a cabinet position.
I am a slow reader so I am only up to page 324. What a fascinating eye opener into the behind the scenes of American Politics. She seems to be the only politician that is the real deal. Not a piece of clay that handlers mold.
I loved the book and hope she has a great future. I am reading a book about Cheney and I wish we had him back in DC.
Being two thirds of the way through the book, I am trying to figure out what all the hullabaloo was about all the fact-check people assigned to the book. Most of the book is very matter of fact - daily memoirs put to paper. It would be like fact checking someones diary.
Just getting into the book, but it’s already better than I thought it would be.
