Can't wait another few days for a glimpse at Sarah Palin's political memoir, Going Rogue? Not to worry, you don't have to. The book's release date is November 17th, but Mark Halperin of TIME.com offers a little sneak preview of the book, in which the former vice presidential candidate recounts the various ways that McCain's aides screwed her over as well as exactly what makes such a maverick like her tick. The book tour begins next week as well.

Don't expect any lengthy -- or even short -- discussions of policy, though. This book is about Sarah Palin the Maverick: renegade moose hunter, politico on the right side of God, soccer mom with a bone to pick. Or as I like to call her, courtesy of Christopher Hitchens, the "chiller from Wasilla."

Another thing not to expect: an index. Halperin suggests in his review that this omission reflects Palin's disdain for the Washington establishment, who might be inclined to merely flip to the back to find out which pages specifically address them. Instead, she's demanding that they - or rather, their interns - read every single page.

I just hope they have some Vivarin close by.
