Sarah also quotes extensively from the philosophy of Ronald Reagan.

Sarah -- you ROCK. You and Todd (not to mention Track) are in my prayers.

And you have my vote, and best efforts, should you decide to run.

Cheers!

Sarah will take them down in two weeks after her inaugeration.

Fresh Birdcage Liner on Sarah's book.

(What a waste: I bet every FReeper is busy reading the original, and neither needs nor wants a review. But it's still fun to compare impressions.)

Cheers!

Applause!!!

Many thanks for the synopsis. I am getting my copy later in the week...but, sadly cannot go to her book signing (about an hour away in ;little’ Washington, PA this Saturday).

Update as you read more...I love to hear others perspectives (on a a read I am anticipating eagerly).

I fell for hte Newsmax offer...$4.95 was too good to pass up. But I'm buying at least 2 more copies for Christmas gifts when Wife and I go to the event in Wasnington.

A reviewer offered some comments on NPR today and to borrow the phrase here, the “snark” didn’t come. She did use the phrase “whining” but that’s subjective and not worth arguing. The important thing about the interview was that she saw something in Sarah Palin that she hadn’t seen before, and as she put it “everyone is buying this book”. The final comment was about her determination and ability to persevere. I suspect that itself scares liberals as badly as any of her politics...

Hey! I enjoyed this.

Thanks Grey-Whiskers...

Excellent review (and it sounds to be a facinating book of Sarah's as well. I can't wait to get my hands on it and I am a slow reader so I appreciate your alacrity on both the reading and super speed review!)

I loved this passage that you wrote above:

I was waiting for the expected snark about my low IQ, but it didn't come. I suspect the clerk felt as the sand castle does at the moment it looks up and sees the tsunami approaching, just after it had been celebrating how far the ocean had receded...

Lovely stuff. I could hang with you even though you would kick me into Tuesday with your speed at reading and writing and I would enjoy every minute of it. :-).

Thanks so very much for your review and God, God bless Sarah and her family. I got chills just reading some of what you wrote before you wrote that you had chills. Sarah is destined for change in out country and I am so very grateful to have her!!

[GOP Poet]

great point and as you pointed it out the reaction of the reviewer it occurred to me that those who read it and have been harsh may have light shined upon them and the MSM would like nothing more than to have this light never have a chance. To listen and consider what Sarah has to say both about her own trajectory as well as her fundamental political philosophy could change a lot of minds and not only conservatives about the evil powers that are taking over and shaking down our country (I speak not only of Democrats here.)

Great review. We have two copies on the way. I also read that contributors of $100 or more to SarahPAC will receive a signed copy.

"I'mInForTen" campaign kicked in this morning when Sarah's Facebook supporters passed the 1,000,000 mark, so SarahPAC is getting a great boost tonight.

As the snakehead Carville said, "Dis is wahr, y'all."

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Bought my copy today. :)

I’m suspecting that 1.5 million copies which seemed like a lot - is going to sell out and this book will become the largest-circulation collectors item in the history of publishing.

“You have a first printing copy of Sarah’s book”??

(it will be said with genuine awe)

No. I’m not kidding. This book is going to set records.

[grey_whiskers]

I intend to get it signed when she visits the Mall of America, too.

(I hope the Secret Service or somesuch screens the *sh!t* out of that place before she arrives...)

Cheers!

[the invisib1e hand]

it’s enough for me to see what the Axis of Evil (the media, the elites, the political class) does to her. that probably the best indication of somebody’s character and charisma.

It's displayed very prominently at our local Books-A-Million.

Amazing review. It made me want to buy the book to READ it. Up until now, I was planning to buy it to support Sarah.
