Going Rogue (Abridged): An American Life Audiobook

" Actually quite eye opening about the behind the scenes of running for Vice President. She has done some pretty good things for Alaska. Still think she is a bit off, not presidential, but misrepresented a bit. "

" Fascinating insight.... "

" An interesting read. It definitely shows how ugly things can get in national politics, so that made it a difficult read as well. I came away impressed with Sarah Palin's record of service on the state and local level in Alaska but frustrated at how poorly the McCain campaign was managed in 2008. "

" Enjoyed this book very much. Quite impressive what a regular mom is able to do, if so moved. The first part of the book moved slow but then really had me page turning later on. "

" I am impressed with her writing and her drive. She certainly got the raw end of dirty politics during her run as Vice-President. I especially liked her recap of what being a conservative is. I am tired of the way the country is heading and what politics has become. "

" Might be useful as emergency toilet-paper. "

" gotta beat her marathon time! "

" I listened to this as a book on tape in a long car trip...Sarah Palin actually did the recording! I loved hearing her insights about the campaign and esp. her Katie Couric interview. "

" A engaging story from a fascinating woman. It only begins to drag when she gets into the tenants of her off-kilter world view. "

" I didn't have high hopes for this book, but I must admit: I am impressed. Her attitude about the birth of her son with Down's Syndrome makes me proud to be a Christian. While I can't agree with her on every issue, I do admire her standing for her principles. "

" What I learned from this book is that Palin is even dumber than I thought. And I REALLY didn't think that was possible! "

" A fairly typical political memoir, and as has been the case for some decades for this genre, the writing is breathless and even mawkish. Its usefulness comes from its non-media perspective. "

" I thought Sarah Palin was way too self-serving, & didn't really feel like an honest look at herself. "

" Another book I found impossible to put down. Even my mom read it, and she finished it in a day! A look at the back story of Palin's 2008 VP run, from the perspective of one of the most engaging and controversial conservative public figures in American politics today. "

" I can tell its very one-sided by how candy coated it is...but its great to hear about the REST of her life, that she wasnt just born into VP Candidacy "

" I found this book fascinating. I think it's important to see what she has to say about herself, given that we have heard so much about what other people have to say about her. I have to say I have respect for her "

" I'm on the second CD "

" Interesting. The beginning & middle were better than the last third. By the end I felt it was nothing more than snapping back at her critics from the 2008 campaign. "

" I'm not a fan of Palin but I find her fascinating. I found this book to be a fairly believable account of her side of the story. I didn't find the whole book interesting which is why I gave it 2 stars for "ok." "

" I enjoyed this book. It wasn't as dry as you might think, and I think she explained some of her decisions pretty well. "

" I enjoyed this book. It gave some insight into the behind the scenes working of the political process. "

" A good insight into Sarah's life. "

" I read this when it first came out. Such a great book. "

" I bought it mainly to show support at a time when she was getting hated on for being human. If you followed the presidential campaign in 07/08 this is very insightful. "

" Not bad if you're interested in Sarah Palin's version of the events of what happened in the '08 campaign for president. I like her and I liked this book. I believe she set the record straight. This book held no major revelations, however, if you already believed in her character and sincerity. "

" I enjoy reading about strong, outspoken women with moxie. I want to be one when I grow up. "

" Really enjoyed getting a much better understanding of who Sarah is and how growing up in Alaska makes her who she is today. "
