This book was a sore disappointment. Not only is the text printed on cheap paperback paper (think Mills & Boon) but so are most of the pictures (in grainy black and white). I don't know why they skimped on the colours when half the fun of watching Paris and her little clique is all the candy colours. As for the writing itself, it soon becomes painfully clear that the writer never met his subject or anyone close to her. Instead he's taken a bunch of articles (mainly from ibid) and written a preachy/moralising/dull text full of quotes from unknown professors/psychiatrists. And since he doesn't know anything, a lot of chapters aren't even about Paris, but fillers. For example he devotes whole chapters describing New York schools/ japanese stars/ heirs/heiresses with tragic lives etc. But only manages to write 1 page about Nicole Richie. So if you're interested in Paris and her friends don't bother buying this book. US weekly/national enquirer makes for a better read.

IT WAS OK. I DID NOT LEARN ANYTHNG NEW AND I HAVE SEEN MOST OF THE PHOTOS ALREADY IN MAGAZINES.

This book, as you may guess, is for fans only. As books go, it's well written enough; however if you're like me you've already seen/heard enough about the subject matter to last a thousand lifetimes. I don't "hate" Hilton because she's young, rich and beautiful; I despise her because the woman is EVERYWHERE. "Change the channel" they say. "Turn the page if you don't want to read about her." Sure. But after six months of turning the page, changing the channel, not buying the magazine, going to a different website, etc., you get REALLY weary of the effort it takes to avoid her. What in the world is the fascination, anyhow? Anyway, if for whatever reason you still haven't gotten enough of this woman, this book is for you.

Paris Hilton is a waste of human space. I am sorry but she is. People say, oh look...she can feed cows and do normal things.....HELLO! She does it b/c she is getting paid a ton of money and oh it's furthering her "career". I think you will find that people do not take her seriously because she is not a serious person. I am not down on all celebs, but I support the celebs that are actually involved in helping people and in the community rather than celebs (wait, can you even call her that???) who are just interested in themselves. I just think there are so many more people out there who are prettier both inside and out. There are people out there who have come to accomplish great things and they didn't do it with Daddy's credit card or their last name.

I had gotten this book from my library and it was in between good and horrible. I give it five stars because I thought it depicted Paris greatly, yet pounced on her sister Nicky the same way, when to me, Nicky has proven a lot more than Paris and in more appropriate ways. Paris just doesn't understand the world we live in and I think that's the problem. She's been raised oblivious to the real world and the fact that people actually have jobs and work for a living. And that some people actually are poor and can't even afford homes. I just think she needs a wake up call. Perhaps she should go to Africa and see how people are suffering and dying. Or the tsunami zone, which I bet she and her family wasn't donating a penny of their money towards. Maybe if she does something worthwhile I'll think of her differently, but that hasn't come about yet. So, to sum of this book, that's hot. And if you want to find a place that makes fun of her, check out Heiress Paris on Msn Groups, it rocks.

What is going on in our society? This girl gets more press than the President and for what? For being what 20 years ago would have been an embarrassment to her family, 200 years ago would have gotten a "A" emblazoned on her designer frocks.
She is a slut, a tramp, a woman of cheap trashy morals. That is one thing, and really a personal matter for her and her maker, but what really gets me is how cruel and demeaning she is to real, hard working normal Americans. In her show the Simple Life, she shows how truly pathetic she is.
And, to cap it all off, her mother is getting a reality show on how to be poised, elegant and be a socialite. It should be called, "you too can be a tramp".
I am NOT impressed.
I hope the rest of the world does NOT think this young woman is a typical American.

it's Paris Hilton..

AGAIN, PLEASE STOP NO MORE PARIS shes not even that pretty

I thought this was an interesting book.

People who like Paris Hilton obvisouly have low self esteem and look to her to validate themselves.

this book shows how she is but a pretty face with nothing else.

Doesn't the author have better things to write than this drivel? I don't even have to read it to know what a waste of time it is. I love books, and I'll read almost anything.

But this is so not worth my brain cells.

Why can't she stick to something she knows?

Like nothing?

To quote oh so infamous Dennis Leary: "...and she can't screw to save her life!"

Please, people of the world. Brain cells are important. When they die, they can't grow back. Spare yourself, and your brain cells. They're the best frienda you have. Comic books are better than this! If you don't like to read anything else, then pick up an Archie comic! For the love of God, Archie is better than Paris Hilton!

The author hates Paris and says so over and over in this book. It's a waste of time to even try and read this whole book. Read Paris' book instead of this one.
