Kardashian Konfidential : Book Review

image from here

It's no secret that I'm a bit of a Kardashian addict. What can I say, I am kinda jealous I wasn't born a Kardashian.

Unsure of when it would hit the stores here in Australia, I quickly visited The Book Depository to order myself a copy and then waited, (rather impatiently) for it to show up on my doorstep.

I was overly excited when it finally arrived in my hot little hands, and waited for Pacman to take a nap so I could have a good read through it. 

The book is divided into eighteen chapters. They talk about their dad, being a celebrity (although, they say they don't like to call themselves 'famous' but rather 'recognizable'), tales from growing up and of course, fashion. Plus a whole lot about work, boys, their family and a whole lot more - we all know those girls love to talk ! It also includes lots of family photos, aswell as birthday cards and notes (which I think is a really cute touch).

 

The writing itself isn't that great. In fact, the girls write the same way they talk (to quote a bit from Kourtney; "I was like, seriously ?"). While it did bother me slightly, it did give the book a more 'personal' feel. There are also quite a few 'conversations' between the three sisters throughout which are fairly entertaining.

 One thing I noticed was that there were a lot of photos of Kim on her own. A lot more than the other girls. 

Overall, it was very entertaining. In fact, last night I sat in bed and re-read some of my favourite bits and looked at the photos again.

So if you are a big Kardashian fan, it is definitely worth the purchase. Plus, the pretty pink cover will look fabulous on any bookshelf.

Happy Thursday,

Mini Shopaholic

After all my time away, I thought you all deserve something a little special. A first for The Girl in Red Heels, a book review.

Before you all click the 'X' in the top right corner, let me tell you that it's not just any book review. But the latest installment of the 'Shopaholic' series, 'Mini Shopaholic'.

For anyone who has read the others, you'll know how brilliant the Sophie Kinsella is. She is a great writer and the Shopaholic series are very entertaining, witty and always a good read, even if you're not really a 'chick-lit' fan.

Mini Shopaholic follows two years on from the previous book, 'Shopaholic and Baby'.

With her darling two year old daughter, Minnie, by her side, Becky Bloomwood is just like any other mother ( or maybe not. ) Her shopping habits have starting rubbing off on her daughter ( who, at two, can even confirm eBay purchases ), she is planning a suprise party at the height of a financial crisis and trying to convince her husband, Luke, that a second baby is on the cards, even though Minnie on her own is a bit of a handful.

 Complete with the familiar Becky Bloomwood humour we all know and love, this story is definitely a 'grab a block of chocolate and put a whole afternoon aside to read' book. 

The best part, it's left open for a follow up book and while there is no talk as yet over at the Sophie Kinsella camp ( or atleast, her website ), I know that I won't be the only Shopaholic lover holding my breathe for another book.

So what are you waiting for ? Get reading Dolls !
