Canadian book review compares "The Rogue' to 'The Lies of Sarah Palin," and recommends them both!

From Straight.com:

Given the circus-like atmosphere surrounding The Rogue, it would be easy to write it off as tawdry entertainment before moving on to Dunn’s more authoritative tome. But that would be a mistake. Because within this book are scores of devastating anecdotes from people who speak on the record, as well as documented revelations about the extent of Palin’s religious extremism. 

McGinness has decided to give the public insight into Palin the person—and not just Palin the politician. She comes across as lazy, self-obsessed, shallow, vindictive (though not quite as vengeful as her husband), utterly narcissistic, and relentlessly ambitious. She collects dependent acolytes and dumps people when they’re no longer useful. 

By the end of The Rogue, McGinniss even has readers questioning if she truly gave birth to her son Trig. He’s the famous kid with Down’s syndrome, who cemented her standing as a maternal hero with the Christian right because she chose not to abort him. In this aspect of the Palin myth, McGinniss builds on the work of conservative blogger Andrew Sullivan. 

If you want to know why such a detestable politician ever got selected as John McCain’s running mate on the Republican ticket, you’ll have to consult Dunn’s recent book. 

He provides all the sordid details about how poorly she was vetted by the McCain camp. Dunn also does a far better job describing Palin’s policies as governor, including her abysmal treatment of starving aboriginal people in Alaska. But if you want to get a feel for how Palin’s neighbours despise her or for what a religious hypocrite she is, McGinness provides a more complete picture.

I could not concur more.  If you can ONLY afford two Palin books this year, than these two wonderfully written books are your best choice hands down.

After you finish them you will not even allow Sarah Palin water your plants much less run your country.
