Great read. I really enjoyed the authors personal take of how Sarah Palin faces off with her 'enemies.' Reading her rabid and dysfunctional behaviour has made me draw some parallels between her and other political 'leaders'. For those living in Toronto, can easily see how Palin and Mayor Rob Ford live in this deluded world where they are victims and have done nothing wrong ever in their present or past, believing all their actions are a means to some mythical end. I don't care for Ms. Palin, but this book was not the hard, factual analysis of her lies and corruption that I had hoped for. McGinniss writes a lot about his time living next door to the Palins and his interviews with people who knew her and what their dinners together on the patio were like, and it was just a bit too gossipy and comfy-cozy to be trustworthy. Pity. Because I do tend to think that a lot of allegations about Palin's personality are true. It's just that this book doesn't provide a good framework to argue those points objectively.
I wanted this book to be true. I hope it's true. I hope she's really as bad as I think she is.
