Thomas Frank, The Wall Street Journal: [Palin's] knack for self-pity is on full display in her book, "Going Rogue." This is the memoir as prolonged, keening wail, larded with petty vindictiveness. With an impressive attention to detail, Palin settles every score, answers every criticism; locates a scapegoat for every foul-up, and fastens an insult on every critic, down to the last obscure Palin-doubter back in Alaska.
Rod Dreher, Belief.net: "Going Rogue" does nothing to relaunch Palin or establish that she's capable of running the country. ... She spends seven pages dishing about her appearance on "Saturday Night Live," but only just over one page discussing her national security strategy (which amounts to: America must be strong and win the war on terror). Know what her economic strategy is? Cut taxes and get government out of the way. Really, it's no more detailed than that. You don't expect to read Friedman here, but come on, is that the best she can do?
Susan Olasky, WorldMag.com: Liberals will not give her a fair shake or even acknowledge her compelling saga as long as she is a potential national candidate. Conservatives might overlook some of her weaknesses because she is such a refreshing change from the typical senatorial blowhard. Both sides should enjoy her as an American and Alaskan original.
