Anyone who's read my reviews knows I review both sides of political non-fiction, and while I'm a Democrat, I do try to put on my "journalistic cap" and judge each book on its literary merits and the author's skill.

For example, I reviewed Gov. Mike Huckabee's book last winter, and gave it a good review, event though I disagreed with every single policy issue he laid out.

I thought about that book several times while reading Gov. Palin's book-one that has been widely criticized for a lack of policy discussion, concrete political plans, or any resemblance to a party platform for Palin 2012. In one CNN interview I saw, a Republican woman who had read an advanced copy said there were roughly 13 pages of policy in the whole 413 page book. I would agree with that assessment, however (spoiler alert) it's not all in one section of the book and it's the same paragraph over and over again...
