Customer Reviews

LOVE THE BOOK!!!

I really enjoyed the book. You get to know Sarah Palin real well and how she became the VP candidate. Sarah has come a long way, in a "man's" world of politics. I strongly recommend this book!

Revelation of a True Patriot

Very enlightening.Makes one wonder why anyone would go into politics and put up with character abuse.

A Brilliant lady

Since reading this story of Sarah Palin I feel I know her better. This tough Lady has leeped thru a lot of hoops in her life. She clearly has helped the people of her State ( ALASKA). My hope is that she runs for national office in 2012 and WINS.

In depth account of Sarah Palin

Intimate, unbiased. You get to see the strength in her character through the pages. You also get to read about people form her past, like her first crush. It is a must read for all Sarah Palin supporters as well as those who are curious about the mystery that is Sarah Palin. I like this book more than "A New Kind of Leader" because there seemed to be great research in this book.

Balanced Account

Trailblazer is a wonderfully researched book. I learned more about Sarah Palin by reading it than all of the other biographies combined. That's probably because Lorenzo Benet, a correspondent for many years with People Magazine, is an excellent journalist and writer. His book presents a blend of the personal and political and he carefully avoids indicting Palin for her politics. Benet did a great job of writing a balanced book, so that whatever your feelings about Palin, you will come away with a good understanding of the woman who was the first Republican woman to run for vice president. I highly recommend this book.
