3.0 out of 5 stars It's okay, Really it's okay., May 6, 2009

This review is from: Sarah Palin The Real Deal (Paperback)

I had to read this book for my government class and I knew I had all these preconceived notions about Sarah Palin. That's why I chose to read about her. The book is really good for quick information, but Palin's life is so much more interesting this. Furthermore, perhaps it's too short, it doesn't go as "in-depth" as James proclaims it to be. I also felt this book was a bit biased and hero worship-y. I'd call this a pocket guide. It seems like a book a journalist would keep in their pocket at a conference for quick reference, but to fully appreciate an unbiased view of Sarah Palin's achievements I strongly recommend another book. Trailblazer: an Intimate Biography of Sarah Palin is a very good one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Praise for "The Real Deal", October 6, 2008

This review is from: Sarah Palin The Real Deal (Paperback)

Finally, a book that comes out and gives us the personal story about Sarah Palin and puts her story in the context of this election. At last, I can hear the truth behind the rhetoric that the biased media throws our way on a daily basis. This book is jammed pack with heartfelt stories about the woman behind the political candidacy as well as documented information behind the landslide of partial truths being served up at a rapid pace.

G. Robert James has done a fantastic job at personalizing this amazing, courageous woman. Before reading his book, I was intrigued by Sarah Palin but now I am in awe of her. If you want to finally read the facts and not just the blitz of negativity the left-wing continues to spew, buy this book. You won't regret it! It is short and to the point. You can read it in 30 minutes or less. And what is 30 minutes to learn the truth about a viable candidate in inarguably the most important election this nation has ever faced.

This review is from: Sarah Palin The Real Deal (Paperback)

Although this small book is not a biography in the normal sense of the word it does give the reader a quick overview of Governor Palin and the impact she is having on the 2008 Presidential election. It highlights her political accomplishments in Alaska and explores her personal and political history. I believe it is an attempt by the author to help the reader to understand the sociological factors that shaped Palin's personality and her political philosophy. I found it to be a quick, interesting and informative read. I highly recommend this book as a way toward acquiring a more balanced insight into this amazing woman.
