Review: The Quotable Rogue: The Ideals of Sarah Palin in Her Own Words

The Quotable Rogue: The Ideals of Sarah Palin in Her Own Words by Bill Adler Jr.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This is a book of quotes by Sarah Palin. Love her or hate her, she is going to be a part of the American Political scene for quite some time. According to the editor, Matt Lewis, the goal of the book is to set the record straight on what Sarah has and has not said. Often, quotes attributed to Sarah are actually paraphrased for comedic value rather than actual quotes.

I did enjoy the book, but did not find it a quick read or even truly an engaging one. Rather than a book to spend time just sitting and reading, this is a book that I would prefer to have on hand to read one or two things here and there, or as reference material.

The quotes in this book cover a range of approximately five years (2005 through 2010) and you can see Sarah's changing opinions in some of them. I find this refreshing - it shows that she can change and grow as her understanding of a situation changes.
