I'm taking a Leadership class for my Master's program this semester. One of the assignments was to read a leadership book and answer a few questions on it. Everybody and their uncle was bound to read "How to Make Friends and Influence People" and those other popular leadership books. So, I was kind of stuck, wanting to read something no one else would be. In early October I was walking through Barnes and Noble, carrying my recent purchase of season 5 of That 70's Show, when I saw it on a table on the way out. At first it didn't even occur to me to choose it as my book, I just laughed at the oxymoronicy* of it all. Then I realized that I was really a bit curious as to what it could say, and that's when I decided to read it for my class.
Books slapped together immediately after a surprise appointment suck. I could have written it better, it reeked of amateurship.
The book had some good leadership ideas, but very few of them were explained or backed up by Palin's experiences. In fact, you get to know her whole political career quite well, since it is re-hashed from beginning to end in every chapter.
So, if you want to confirm your decision not to vote for her, you can borrow the book from me - it confirmed my decision.

*Yes, I know that's not a word.
