review 1: If you're thinking that "Not Afraid of Life" is an unclever reference to her "pro-life" values, you betcha. Bristol is definitely annoying, which can partly be explained by her immaturity. When author Nancy French wove this narrative, which is coherent (though not especially insightful or eloquent), Bristol was but a naive adolescent. Unexceptional in every way, her claim to fame was her teen pregnancy in the midst of her bafoon mother's unexpected rise into the national spotlight. She went on to make mucho dinero by selling pictures of her dear baby son to magazines that bid the highest, and by speaking as a "pro-life" and pro-abstinence advocate; the latter which is peculiarly ironic, for all the obvious reasons. It's a somewhat guilty pleasure to read about her asini... morene exploits in the Alaskan wilderness, and enjoy the baby mama drama with her hunky bonehead beau. But overall, if you would like to read a thought provoking or interesting biography, keep looking.
review 2: Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far was truly an inspiring, encouraging book that I could read more than once. I believe every teenager/young adult should read this book. In her book, Bristol comes clean and honest about her mistakes as a seventeen year old girl. She recalls lying to her mother, being lied to by her boyfriend, getting pregnant, and the long road of turmoil from the nonsense-obsessed-press that persecuted her and her mother, Sarah Palin. In the midst of Bristol's mistake, her mother was Running for Vice President of the United States. As all political campaigns and matters, the media uses anything and everything to beat, particularly, Republicans down. Bristol compares herself to Hester Prynne, the adulterous mother from classic literature's, "The Scarlet Letter". She recalls her encounters with her boyfriend, the media, and encourages abstinence in young people. This book reaffirmed, my beliefs in abstinence and purity, and made me truly want to remain pure for so many reasons. This book is the true feelings and struggles of someone who messed up and failed her family, but got back up again. Bristol Palin learned from her mistakes, and is now teachings others to learn from her mistakes. less
