Average Rating:
Rating: - Palin is Truly an Amazing Person!
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.
Rating: - Better Late Than Never
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.
Rating: - Good short view
"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.
Rating: - Good read about an extraordinary woman
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 ... Read More
Rating: - sarah palin
I think this is a good book. It tells almost everything Sarah Palin has done, all her accomplishments, who she really is, and how she grew up. This book covers up until about 2007, but it does not cover the 2008 presidential election;John McCain and Sarah Palin as his running mate. If you want to learn more about Sarah Palin and everything she has done from mayor to governor, and all she has accomplished in the republican party, I would recommend reading this book, SARAH.
