Book Reviews of Your Heiress Diary: Confess It All to Me
Book Review: Oh no! Not another 'Book'!
Summary: 1 Stars
Ok, I am officially giving up all hope for the world, and society in general. Someone please tell me what is so fascinating about this attention seeker? She has no discernable talent and her behavior is usually quite embarrassing. But here we are, with another 'book' forced onto us by publishing companies who have lost all desire to print worthwhile material, instead are printing this trash, simply because morons will buy it and make the company, and Ms. Hilton, more money. So now we have become just as shallow as this rich imbecile, meaning one does not have to have any substance to them at all to be a 'celebrity'. Sigh!
Of course I did not buy this garbage, but I did flip through it at the bookstore, for the minute or so that I could bear it without gagging.
I've always said, if I ever had a daughter, I would never let her play with Barbie, as it is a tool for 'Fluff Chick' training. And now Ms. Hilton is proof of it! The one thing I did see in this 'book' was her statement that she admires Barbie, because she doesn't really do anything, but always looks good doing it. Oh puhleeze! She admires a doll (not even a real person) and all for shallow reasons! And this is what we are parading in front of little girls to look up to?!? We are in big trouble! Whatever happened to all the women who were working for equal rights, equal pay, etc.? Weren't they always hollering about wanting to be treated as intelligent, capable people? And just when some strides are made in the right direction, this moron comes along? And she has legions of little girls admiring her?!?
This is just plain sad. This garbage should be noted with negative stars and the media should be ashamed of themselves for forcing this idiot onto young people who are too immature and inexperienced to tell good from bad.
Book Review: Educational info
Summary: 3 Stars
Nope, haven't seen the book. Sounds pretty harmless for those who find it fun--the descriptions in the reviews tell of some OK life suggestions and values--there are probably some good and some bad. But I wanted to let some of the kids know: Paris didn't write this, and there's a good chance she's never seen it. An item like this is put together by a team--a professional marketer, a writer/editor of some sort, a publicity agent... maybe some additional consultants.
Ideally, Paris would see it before publication... that would be the most honest procedure. I'd bet she didn't, however. After publication, a copy might be sent to her... if she likes to keep a collection of "Paris products." Otherwise, one of her agents probably keeps the collection. There's a strong chance Paris has never seen this.
Young Paris fans can still have fun with the diary. But if you don't like it, Paris is mostly not to blame. Who is? The publisher, the "book" industry that is producing more and more of these novelty products and fewer and fewer real books. The sellers, especially the big chains, Barnes & Noble and Borders. Does Amazon also encourage these items at the expense of real books? Not sure.
Some of the posted reviews, pro and con, by young people are quite impressive. My conclusion is: enjoy the item, but remember to read deeper stuff as well. Keep writing! And support independent bookstores, libraries, and real writers as much as you can.
Book Review: This book should be pulled off the market and all copies should be BURNED.

This "diary" is COMPLETELY OFFENSIVE. Anyone who buys this unironically is obviously as disgusting and ignorant as Paris Hilton. Furthermore, anyone who buys this for an impressionable child/teenager should be banned from having any contact with humanity.
Intentionally or not, this "diary" is telling its audience that it's TOTALLY HOT to only care about clothing, the media, make-up, hair, and being an heiress!!! YAY! Let's not strive for anything! LET'S JUST PARTY!!! No one needs to think about anything but what's on the surface!!! Buy more stuff! LOOK AT ME! I'M SO HOT!
Do the world a favor get some real role models. You know, ones who actually do something good for the world. Then buy your daughter a blank diary; if she has writer's block you can make up your own questions! WHAT A GREAT IDEA!
If you still want to give your daughter delusions of princessery to set her up for the disappointment that comes with the real world, where not everyone is an heiress, just read her some fairy tales. At least Cinderella had to work before she got her big break. I'm all for letting children live in imagination land, but Paris Hilton's influence should be unwelcome & rejected.
Book Review: Give Me A Break!!

Why is this woman a star? Has our mental capacity seriously dropped this low in society that Paris Hilton not only got one book deal but two? And possibly more who knows? This is the message we're sending girls? Be a shallow air head like Paris? I have never met Paris. I don't need to. They say "Oh this is just the image she puts out to the public eye, she's not really like this all the time" Well then what the hell?? Shouldn't she be putting out her so called "real image" then? Is this what we think is ok? Be shallow and fake and stupid and people will love you. But don't show the real you, cause you'll go nowhere. This is stupid. Girls if you want to write in a Diary then buy a DIARY! Not one with Paris's face on it. A real diary. Write down your thoughts and feelings and not crap like "I love this store and that store and these shoes and that purse!" blah blah blah. She's an idiot and she needs to grow up.Book Review: i like Paris a lot, but not her stupid "norms"...

I do think that Paris is a super hot heiress, (well, come on, its very hard not to look like a princess / a hottie when you are that loaded!!) and i especially adore the fact that she loves animals.
however, i really think she and her family and freinds should stop calling their pets "the hottest Accessory"!!! is like the pets are toys and have no lives!!!
You can certainly make a pet a part of your family but its a complete brain-wash idea for those heiress followers/fans to get a little animal as accessory!!!... those Chihuahua which were returned after certain time would be put down, we are creating and killing a scary figure of them these days...stop the madness guys!!
Paris, if you really loves animal, stop encouraging those brainless to get an animal/a life for them to look cool!!!!!! start doing things for good course!
