I don?t know what to think about Sarah Palin, to be perfectly honest with you. I like her personally, agree with her politically, and look on in wide-eyed confusion mostly. ? I mean, I like her. But she?s one of those people that?s just so much to take in.
Which is one of the reasons that I got this book?The Quotable Rogue, The Ideals of Sarah Palin in Her Own Words, by Matt Lewis. I thought, ?What better way to get to understand someone than reading their own words??
The book is nicely divided up into chapters by subject: what Palin has to say ?On Being Sarah?, ?On Family?, ?On Health Care?, ?On the Media?, ?On the Environment?, etc, etc. A nice and easy way to say, ?Ok, what does she say about such-and-so?? It?s like a guidebook to the Sarah Palin Worldview.
It makes it nice to flip through?but make no mistake. This is a flip-through book. Not a sit-down-and-read book, but a useful book nonetheless. Some good one-liners, but far more good, in-depth quotes fully outlining what she believes.
For example: ?On America?, Palin says, ?What makes America exceptional isn?t her politicians, it?s her people.? Or ?On Being Sarah?, she quotes her dad as always saying, ?Don?t retreat, just reload.? Good enough for a poster, right?
Or, on the other end of things, ?On the GOP,? Palin said, ?I believe that Republicans in Washington have got to understand that the people of America are not fully satisfied with all the dealings within the party. Same applies though for the other party, also. Americans are just getting sick and tired of politics as usual, that embracing the status quo, going with the flow and just assuming that the people of America are not noticing that we have opportunities for a good change.?
There?s a nice, in depth quote that gives you a good idea of where she stands on the issue.
So the book has a nice balance of both.
I don?t really know how to review this book overall, to be truthful. I mean, it?s not exactly as though I can say, ?Oh, the plotting was tight and the characters well-formed? or ?I agree with his theories here but wonder what he?s getting at here??
All I can really tell you is that, for the Sarah Palin fan in your life, or for someone looking for a book of good, snappy quotes and thoughtful musings from one of the most politically visible women of our time, this is a great book. I don?t recommend it as any kind of ?comfy-read? or anything, but it?s a nice book, well-put-together, and a great source for the subject it covers. I?ll admit, I don?t really see much use for it?I mean, other than maybe as a source for a paper or a speech at some point, or for someone who really, really likes Sarah Palin and wants a record of her words like some kind of Bible?LOL. Other than that, I would just classify it as a nice end-table type book that you flip through every once in a while to get a laugh or to get thinking.
Or to start a really good ?discussion? with your more liberal-minded friends?hm. Now there?s an idea! LOL
