John P. Hanlon Reviews 'Going Rogue'

*
John P. Hanlon, the Operations Manager for Townhall.com, recently reviewed Sarah Palin's Going Rogue. His review was published on Andrew Breitbart's Big Government website. Here is an excerpt:
"Many liberals and some conservatives have attacked who Palin is and her experience. Many members of the media have joined in and they have tried to tell viewers what Sarah Palin stands for. Instead of listening to and believing such people, I decided to read Palin’s book myself to find out who she really is and if the media hype about the book was true."

The media hype suggested that Palin’s book focused on her campaign to be vice president. Some analysts seemed to believe that Palin wrote the book to justify her 'going rogue' last year and to attack people from the campaign she felt had not served the campaign well. However, after finishing the book recently, I realized that the book is not a vengeful account of what transpired but Palin’s own accounting of her public life, including her bid to become the first female vice president of the United States.
Although Hanlon says that he doesn't share all of Sarah Palin's views, the reviewer admits that as a reader, he "thoroughly enjoyed" the former governor's book.
