Confessions of an Heiress : A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose

Summary: Ma fille Paris!
Review: I am glad that Paris Hilton now has a book which will bring her more money. I imagine the publisher paid her a substantial advance, and that she receives royalties from the book's sales. Thank God. Now she can afford to eat some cheeseburgers! Or, if Paris is a vegetarian, some veggie burgers with extra cheese! I implore everyone to buy a copy of this book. Paris Hilton is the starving kid in China for our generation.

Summary: Think twice
Review: I read this book solely out of the curiousity of "what would it be like to be filthy rich and totally beautiful with all the time in the world?" What I got was perhaps exactly what I could have read for $2.50 in the tabloids. What can I say? If you really want to read Paris Hilton's "memoir" spare yourself the $15.00 and flip threw the teen magazines at the grocery store - it'll be better for you and are actually written better!

I gave this book three stars because, while it is incredibly obvious that Hilton did not write this book on her own, she does display some honest and optomistic view on her life. Besides the more "conceited" phases that Hilton constantly repeats over and over ("People respect me because I think I am worthy of it. I do this by constantly pretending I have a tiara on my head."), for a more "autobiographical" view on her life from a true bimbo, read this. And with raving reviews from Carmen Electra (whom is actually somebody I like, no sarcasm intended), who wouldn't want to read this book? Paris is constantly contradicting herself over and over again. The first sentence says, "People seem to have the wrong idea about me..."

Just take a look at the front cover. No Paris, we all have a pretty good idea of where you're coming from...

Summary: It's definately NOT HOT
Review: Paris Paris Paris..I was expecting some cute stories and some real 'behind the scene' pictures of her life as an heiress..that's all, I wasn't expecting much. 15 minutes later and I finished the book, very unsatisfying..

The lists of how to be and not be a wannabe were cliche, not original and definately not useful. Ha ha I know its tongue and cheek but really c'mon. At least include pictures that haven't been seen before..every picture was in Star or In Touch.

I'm so over it!

Summary: Fabulous Book
Review: Saddens me that paper, money and people's time were wasted on such a shallow, selfish, immoral product.

Summary: Don't Hate her b/c she's BETTER OFF than you!
Review: This book is cute! She was one of the lucky ones who was blessed to be born into parents with money. You all wish you were and that's why you hate her! Everyone who hates Paris wishes they could have the same life. She is just lucky! Just because she's in the limelight doesn't mean there aren't hundreds of other girls just like her-you just hear about her. Just remember one thing when you are evaluating your lives in comparison to hers...it's YOUR life...do what you want with it-if you don't like it CHANGE IT!!!

Summary: that's hot!
Review: This book was everything I expected it to be...to a person like me it really IS my Bible! If you're a Paris Hilton fan you will LOVE this book! Yes, its shallow. Yes, its materialistic. IT'S PARIS HILTON, PEOPLE!!! If you think its gonna be some deep, spiritual guide to moral living you're looking in the WRONG PLACE! But if you like watching The Fabulous Life Of... or Life Is Great and you wish you were rich and spoiled then READ THIS BOOK! YOU'LL LOVE IT! Paris offers all kinds of funny hints and tricks to live her carefree, induglent lifestyle! I find myself referring to the book all the time LOL! She's totally human and accessible about everything to a surprising level and if you already liked her you'll end up loving her summore!

Summary: A Horrible Horrible Experience
Review: What's most fascinating about Paris is how she became famous simply because of a PR machine, proving that you don't even need a real object, just hype and some sexual attration to become a star. But I digress.
This book, from beginning to end, is horribly, horribly written and completely inane.

Why write a book if you have nothing to say?
Buy only to mock.

Summary: Like slowing down to watch a car wreck
Review: You can't help yourself but after the fact you're wondering what the fascination actually was. Because we get to hear from a privileged girl who never had to prove herself to become famous and enjoy the finest this world has to offer? Because we're curious to contemplate the monster this shamelessly shallow society has produced?
Don't spend your money on it. Go to a bookstore, time yourself and speed-read it in a minute top. You'll get a better sense of Hilton's true state of mind in all its glory, minus the obvious ghost writer and her team of designers/artists doing the *real* work for her.
