Pretty much what we'd expect: it sounds like a narrative about her character, which is what her fans probably want--Palin is an intriguing figure, and, even more so than for President Obama in the early days of his presidential run, it's a cult of personality. And you had to know there would be daggers for McCain staffers. That fight's been brewing since before the election even ended, and, in all the profiles and/or hit pieces on Palin that have come out since last November, a central pillar is Palin's ferocious impulse to destroy those who attack her.
Five chapters is an interesting choice. Just from a literary standpoint, long chapters can require lots of narrative transition, weaving in and out of anecdotes--something public figures tend to avoid with shorter chapters that let them separate anecdotes without having to tie them together into a longer narrative. The form requires a strong, sustained narrative voice to carry it--which can be challenging. But we all know Palin's voice is a strong one, so perhaps it plays to her strength.
