I’m only about half through it, but this is a wonderful book. Full of good humor and understanding of people and politics, from the small town where everyone knows your business to the national arena where they think they do. The criticism is measured and often funny. There’s none of the whining and get-even, that I can see, that’s been reported so often in the legacy media.
If Sarah wrote all of it, she’s a helluva writer. If she had help, she apparently didn’t need much. The "voice" is consistent and assured throughout.
It is a political book, of course, and as self-serving as Barry’s Dreams From My Father. Although his book is more about race and grievance and her’s rarely touches on either subject and then only in connection with her husband’s Eskimo heritage. So there’s evident calculation in these pages, but that’s not surprising. Whether she ever runs for president or anything else, she wants us to like her. And I think any reader without an ax to grind will like the person Sarah reveals. Unless you’re already convinced that you hate her, you should get a copy. It’s worth the read.
