sdloomer 's review for:
Paris: The Memoir
by Paris Hilton
informative
lighthearted
fast-paced
Reading this made me simultaneously respect and despise Paris Hilton that much more than I thought I did. I really don't know what I was expecting when I picked this up (definitely not my usual choice of book), but that was not it.
I am saddened by her confession of being subjected to horrible abuse—details of which I won't go into because they are really that horrible—instigated by her own parents, and am genuinely hoping that those relationships can be mended for her.
On the other hand, I grew increasingly annoyed by her constant whinging about "work". Every other page is marked by how much she throws herself into her work, how she can't live without the work, how she's always been work-driven, and can't you just see that she's so hardworking? I get it. Work is something that is a constant in everyone's lives and some people find a lot of meaning in it, but being humble is something that means a lot to me, and for better or worse, Paris Hilton ain't it.
