Instaputz reviews "Going Rogue"
Full non-mainstream review here

Now we are faced with the daunting task of wrapping our minds around the Palin memoir Going Rogue, appearing atop a bestseller list near you. Millions of copies will be sold of a book written by someone who can’t write, intended for an audience that doesn’t read, about the thoughts of a person who doesn’t think. God is dead.

If you are in a hurry, here is the succinct version of this review: Going Rogue is shit. It is groundbreaking in its banality and disregard for facts. If you are sentient, it will pain you to read it. Imagine watching your parents 69 one another while John Madden sits behind you and bellows out color commentary and you will have some idea of how excruciating and profoundly scarring it is to plow through each page of this wholly fictional monument to self-aggrandized mediocrity. Going Rogue is to the art of writing what the Holocaust is to the concept of a just God – the piece of disconfirming evidence so overwhelming that we are left questioning whether it can exist at all.

1. LOL - one of the funniest lines I've read in awhile

8. It was the Holocaust line that made me laugh out loud.
Was that insensitive?

Well worth the read and that can't be said about Palin's book.

3. The comment section
is worth the read as well. LOL

I guess I don't need to bother to go and stand in line with the millions, if not billions of people who are anziously awaiting to get their hands on Sarah's precious tome.

6. I think I need to use the review for the movie "Gigli" for failin's book...
To paraphrase: "This book isn't trainwreck bad, it's starving kids in Africa bad".

7. In short...
In short, the book provides ample proof that Sarah Palin’s version of her own life is like the Turkish government’s version of the Armenian Genocide – and approximately as trustworthy. Going Rogue is an irritatingly vernacular, fantastical, and cloying autobiography of a malignant narcissist, every bit as thunderingly stupid throughout as the person behind it. In what world is it either necessary or desirable to spend $9 and four hours to figure that much out about Sarah Palin?


:rofl:
