Looking on Amazon's website, I can't help but wonder why someone would write a one-star review about former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's memoir before it even hits the stores.
These past couple months, I've had the privilege of reading Sarah's memoir, "Going Rogue, An American Life." To be brutally honest with you, my reaction to this memoir goes beyond words. I was completely blown away by what Sarah Palin had to say.
In the past I have read many different books from many well known authors in literature, all of them very descriptive. In my opinion, though, "Going Rogue" is the only book that seems to take me away from whatever room I'm in. When Sarah Palin described everything from life in Alaska to the trials she faced, I almost forgot that I was either in the living room with my parents behind me or in the senior lounge with classmates talking ten feet from me. Honestly, that has never happened to me!
If I had to say what I found interesting about "Going Rogue" I would say it was Sarah's childhood and teenage years. Reading those particular sections, I didn't see a person who was always involved in politics. Instead, I saw a kid that behaved like any other. As a child, Sarah was known for her imagination and as a teenager, she was a little "boy-crazy." If you ask me I think this shows how she can relate to young people today.
I know there are people who don't necessarily like Sarah Palin or agree with her views. Regardless of that, I encourage you to read "Going Rogue, An American Life." If you haven't read it or simply refuse to do so, you seriously don't know what you're missing! I guarantee that once you read this memoir, you will have a better understanding of who Sarah Palin is and what she believes in. Then you can decide if you like her or not.
