In-Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned the Political Establishment Upside-Down, the first biography released of Governor Palin, author Kaylene Johnson draws upon personal interviews with Palin, her family, and other highly placed sources to explore Palin's family life, her upbringing in a devout Christian home, her political rise, and how she went from being a long-shot candidate to--potentially--one of the world's most powerful women and political figures. The book features dozens of family and political photos and contains source notes.

Summary: Better Late Than Never
Comment: Finally, all the real answers you would have expected the traditional media to provide, but somehow they seemed to miss the story during the campaign.

This biography captures the person behind the smear and petty attacks of both opponents and fellow Republican.

Refreshingly candidate, not your typical "instant-bio" book that seems to always surface around election time.

Summary: Good short view
Comment: "Sarah" is a short book that gives a good view of the woman who became a National figure overnight. It gives some depth to the references Palin made on the campaign trail before the election. The book is easy to read and can be finished in a few hours. Do not expect an in-depth analysis of anything. Still, it will remain a book of interest to those who follow a certain brand of Republican politics.

Summary: Good read about an extraordinary woman
Comment: For just a few short month's Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has been in the media spotlight. However, the residents of Alaska have known her for some time.

The book "Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned the Political Establishment Upside Down" chronicles everything from the youth to the family life to the political career of this accomplished woman.

Along with 2008 presidential candidate John McCain, Palin championed the story of the average person. And, through the words of author Kaylene Johnson and a number of personal photographs, readers come to learn that in many cases, her story is their story.

All in all, the book is a quick read. At times, it delves into some statistical information but for the most part it offers a more intimate reflection on the life and times of the most popular governor in the United States.

Summary: sarah palin
Comment: I think this is a good book. It tells almost everything Sarah Palin has done, all her accomplishments, who she really is, and how she grew up. This book covers up until about 2007, but it does not cover the 2008 presidential election;John McCain and Sarah Palin as his running mate. If you want to learn more about Sarah Palin and everything she has done from mayor to governor, and all she has accomplished in the republican party, I would recommend reading this book, SARAH.
