review 1: Sarah Palin is a common sense American and her book "America By Heart" reflects that description. In writing her thoughts on family, faith, and the flag, she includes substantial quotes and stories that are uniquely American. A favorite chapter of mine was "The Rise of the Mama Grizzlies." Only an Alaskan could come up with such a phrase "Mama Grizzlies." Sarah tells stories about Alaskan women Caroline Churchill and Crystal Brilliant Snow Jenne, tough frontierswomen, who put to shame modern feminists today. The middle portion of the book has several pages of color photographs of Sarah, her family, her travels and activities. The book is a refreshing look at America through the thoughts of a unique woman who is commanding a spotlight on today's political s... moretage.
review 2: The interesting thing about Sarah Palin is she never speaks (or writes) in the same vernacular of what the public expects. She carries a common-speak to her addressing the public - either at speeches or in what she writes. What I found with this book was not an elevated, intellectual, aristocratic approach to issues (or, in the case of this book's theme, the essence of what made America America). That is the way people expect her to talk; she does not talk that way; she will never talk like a member of the king's court, and that is the charm of this book. She identifies what makes America great and spells it out in common language.I would love to hear comments from women who hate her, comment on the 'Rise of the Mama Grizzlies' chapter. How any woman could not support what she says in those pages, I cannot see. less

Not as good as her first book. This book was more political.
