Product Description

This is a no-holds-barred look at the hotel heiress, reality TV star, and rampant party girl. Known to tabloids as "Paris the Heiress," The twenty-three-year-old became famous at a young age for being a rich, spoiled socialite who never met a party-or a man-she didn't like. She developed a small career as a model and actress, but her real claim to fame is the racy sex tape she made with a former boyfriend, which was recently released and has made her career-and her notoriety-skyrocket.

1.0 out of 5 stars The only good thing about this book is the cover, January 15, 2005

By	Miss Post (Stockholm, Sweden) - See all my reviews

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Weary of Ms. Paris, September 13, 2004

By	E. R. Gooden "Raging Puppy" (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
