Going Rogue: An American Life by Sarah Palin

This was my first autobiography of a political figure. I have heard a lot about Sarah Palin in the media even though i am not interested in politics. Her outrageous comments and the Canadian radio show that pranked her, intrigued me enough to want to learn more.
I must say i have not been let down. Sarah Palin's honesty and earnestness shine through this book. She finally has a say in what really happened and it does shed some light on some of the ridiculous stories that the media spurned. I am very impressed by the final decision she made just to ensure Alaska progresses; and i sincerely hope that she may make a comeback in politics, because someone as hardworking and idealistic albeit a tad naive is a refreshing change on the scene. This book was quite inspiring.
However, i do have to add that at points in the book, i felt that she was trying a little too hard - she seemed to call a lot of people nice, sweet and beautiful. I mean, we get the gist. :)
