Fantastic and Uplifting

Paris Hilton's book is very sweet and cute. It describes her life and details how to live a life that every girl dreams of. Not only is it an autobiography it's an instruction booklet and to be honest, I found some hints very useful. When reading this book I learned to have an open mind about Paris because she is more of a person than I thought before and more people need to understand that. Also, when you read the details coming straight from Paris Hilton, you have to trust her to be truthful and not question of poke fun at all she said. If you can do that than you will have a truly fantastic experience reading this book

I liked it

If people hate Paris Hilton then of course they shouldn't have bought this book because it's all about her! But if you are a Paris fan then you will enjoy it. I wouldn't recommend paying full price for it (not worth $22!) but I got it for a fraction of the price and I'm happy I did. The book is obviously tongue-in-cheek so if you're looking for something indepth or a how-to, keep it moving. I think the main point of this book is having confidence and enjoying being a girl, whats wrong with that?

Paris through and through

This book is great for anyone who wants to find their 'inner heiress' which sadly suits me to a T. People shouldn't put Paris down for being a bubbly blonde who has loads of money, and makes the most of life. She can't help what she was born into, and I think anyone would be exactly the same in her situation. Everyones different, and Paris just knows how to work it to her benefit. She also doesnt try to make people conform to 'body beautiful' standards and is realistic with her diet in this book, unlike some other role models to young people. This book isnt patronising, it's just Paris, and thats the way it should be. Oh, and i'm glad she got a ghost writer, I mean, if she wrote it, it would take forever to proof read and edit.

The Paris

I bought this book because I saw The Simple Life series and have been curious. I don't find Paris as a stupid blonde. No, she is a great business brain and knows how to brand herself. This book is sweet, stylish and funny like Paris.

A Glimpse into a World of Glamour & Glitter

This is a light-hearted photo-book of Paris Hilton's life and friends. I hesitate to call it a book, or even an autobiography - instead it's better to look at it at as a portfolio. Filled to the brim with images of Paris and her famous friends and family, with short, funny chapters inbetween that deal with the main areas of her life i.e. fashion, beauty, boyfriends etc. I think Hilton's saving grace is that she does not take herself too seriously, and her writing shows this. She gently mocks herself and the whole notion of being an heiress, and in doing so makes the book accesible to us mere mortals. I was especially impressed with her jokey 'diet' advice, which basically tell you to eat whatever you want, when you want, and to indulge in cheesburgers and candies on a daily basis. It shows Hilton to be very young at heart and it's refreshing to hear of somebody who tries to enjoy each minute of life to the best they can. If you like Paris and the whole young-Hollywood scene that's happening at the moment, then you're sure to enjoy this book. Take it this way, if you can't stand to watch MTV or flick through a copy of People magazine then steer clear - this book isn't for you. A cheeky look at a glamourous world, that doesn't reveal anything too specific but is still a great read.
