Review by a liberal

While I disagree with a lot of Palins Political beliefs I read this book with interest. Admittedly in the beginning I wasn't sure If I could make it through the book because of that but the way that she chronicled her life it really makes it an interesting read.

The book really covers the decisions she has made in her life both political and personal. The reader gets to know her as a person and a politician, her motivations in life.

She was fairly unknown outside of Alaska, thrust into the middle of a Presidential campaign that was already floundering. While she did breathe some life into the McCain campaign it wasn't enough. She was put in a tough situation. Clearly she felt that she didn't receive the kind of support that she needed to be an effective Vice Presidential candidate and she discussed that in this book. We get to read about all of the things we suspected were going on in the McCain camp that she wasn't able to talk about during the race.

She sacrificed a lot and her family sacrificed a lot from the demands of campaign from criticism on her political beliefs, the innuendo that the only reason McCain selected her as a running mate is because she is attractive, to the personal attacks about her decision to have her challenged son. She was criticized a lot during the campaign of nearly everything. She talks about the criticisms in the book in detail. She loves her State and tried to make it a better place. She loved it enough to resign thinking that someone else could do a better job running it with out all of the distraction that was heaped upon her by media following her every move both on the local and national front.

GIRL GONE ROGUE: A review of GOING ROGUE: AN AMERICAN LIFE (Sarah Palin)
by Dr. Joseph Suglia

The title of Sarah Palin's martyrology, GOING ROGUE (2009), is richly significant. "Rogue" can mean "renegade" and thus point to Palin's illusory departure from the ever-redefinable "political" and "media elites," as well as from the McCain camp. Reactionary politicians, these days, like to style themselves as "mavericks"---when, in fact, they represent this country's most powerful insiders. They endorse tax cuts for the affluent; they serve the gluttonies of the wealthiest financiers, corporate executive officers, and industrialists in America.

A slight logogriphic substitution would transform "rogue" into "rouge." The title, then, could be rendered: THE REDDENING OF SARAH PALIN. Red, obviously, is the color of the Republican Party, but it is also a highly sexual color and evokes the menses. ("Rouge," in particular, recalls a shade of lipstick. Would "rouge" refer to the pig's lipstick-smeared mouth?). It is, as well, the color of fury, of blood, of rapine and viciousness. It is the color of ecclesiastics, of cardinals. In the iconography of National Socialism, black swastikas were emblazoned on red backgrounds.

This is a book that is drenched in red.

There is discussion of the animals Sarah Palin enjoys slaughtering, the caribou and moose she takes pleasure in shooting, the salmon she skins. A photograph of the Arctic Huntress beaming with the psychosexual thrill that comes from killing game, the bloodied corpse of a caribou under her heel. "I love meat... [I] especially love moose and caribou.

By Regular Joe on April 13, 2015
Format: Hardcover
I decided to read Governor Palin's book, "Going Rogue", not for partisan political reasons, but because I was interested in whether she would use this book to answer her critics, as well as address the numerous sticky issues that swirled around her political career in Alaska and as the Republican candidate for vice president in 2008. Since this book was advertised as a personal memoir, I was also interested in her story about growing up in Alaska, one of the least understood states in the USA. I'll leave all of the political and emotional stone-throwing to the other reviewers on Amazon.com and simply write a book review instead. Additionally, since this section is dedicated to "book reviews," my 4-star rating applies only to the book and is not intended as a personal rating of Governor Palin.

Like so many other Americans, I also closely followed the 2008 election. I already knew a lot about the political veterans Senators Biden and McCain, but initially knew very little factual information about Senator Obama and Governor Palin. Yet there were so many unusual and even bizarre stories being reported on the candidates that it became difficult to determine which were true, partially factual and which stories had no factual basis in reality. Considering, in my opinion, how nasty the mainstream media treated Palin, I was immediately interested in her side of the story. How an individual reacts and responds to adversity is very revealing about their character, upbringing, and ultimately their personal integrity. This is especially important to know regarding our public officials.

There were very few revelations in this book about Palin since during the election dozens of stories, as well as personal interviews with her dominated the airwaves and print media.
