Dollhouse
Reality TV stars the Kardashian sisters, Kim, Kourtney and Khloe, will release their first novel in November. Titled Dollhouse (the name was picked by a fan who wins a guest role in the novel), it will focus on a "glamorous, high profile and complicated family". According to Kim, the novel is "based on our lives but we've added a lot of crazy fictional twists and turns".

“It’s Predictable – Interesting – Funny – Surprising – yet More Surprise and Makes Me Curios”
Pertama kali ‘mendengar’ bahwa Kardashian-Sisters mengeluarkan sebuah novel, pemikiran pertama yang muncul dibenakku adalah : “Kemungkinan sebuah drama-slapstick gaya lain dari para selebriti yang memanfaatkan aji-mumpung dengan ikut-ikutan menulis novel.” --- dan anehnya, tiada sinopsis di ‘back-cover’ buku edisi terjemahan ini, membuatku semakin ‘curiga’ bahwa isinya tidak semenarik penampilan luar yan...more

NO ONE! IT SUCKS!
Pages: 277
Genre: Chick-lit*
Publication Date: 2011
My Rating: 1.5 /5 stars**
*Not the good, Shopie Kinsella, kind of chick lit. More of the bad, horrible-written kind celebrity authors try to write. Think Lauren Conrad’s L.A. Candy series kind of chick lit.
** Only because some of the story lines were okay-ish, otherwise it would have gotten a 1.

Review of Dollhouse
The book Dollhouse was an interesting book because new events were always going on. For me it was a little hard not to picture each character as the Kardashian sisters because the book is based off them. I really did like that each chapter was a different character because it brought out each character’s personality. This book also showed that not every family is perfect and families come with the good times and bad times. In the book it explains that the family is a pretty t...more

I know. I know. But it was on the New Arrivals shelf at the library, and it was surprising because I didn't know that the Kardashian sisters had written a book. Come to think of it, I don't know that they've read a book. In any case, it looked like it might be unintentionally hilarious, particularly after I read the opening line: "Sitting in a cafe across the street from her family's restaurant, Kamille Romero sipped her acai berry smoothie and lifted her face to soak in the sun." It's no shot r...more
I'll admit, I'm a fan of the Kardashians (though Kim I could probably do without). Still, I set my expectations really, really, really low with this book. So, I was pleasantly surprised by the pacing and overall direction the book took. Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe or their publishing company did a really good job in choosing their collaborator (Nancy Ohlin) and editor (Tessa Woodward).
I mean, don't get me wrong, this is hardly groundbreaking literature. The beginning of the book was a bit hard to g...more

I think this book was okay.
At first, I underestimated this book, but then I tried to read it as a purely fiction. I tried not to think about any Kardashian. And, I find it enjoyable.
No matter who the ghost writer is, I think it is well-written, fluent, no lame jokes, no meaningless ironies, and the plot runs in the acceptable way. It's like reading LBD novels; in fact it is far better than Dorothy Howell good-for-nothing novels.

I think I have to start off by saying that I am a Kardashian fan. I watched their reality show and I thought they were funny and dressed like goddesses. With that said when I first saw this book on the shelf at my public library, I knew it was going to be crappy. I was so certain it was going to be lousy that I put it down but when I realized I had no other books to check out I decided why the hell not. I knew it was going to be terrible but maybe I could gain some insight on how celebrities rea...more
I should probably be ashamed of myself for reading this, but I wanted something dumb and breezy to help me turn my brain off for a moment, and, well... be careful what you wish for. At least I didn't buy it. (My library's ebook consortia did.)
I went into this expecting something dishy and salacious, a la Jackie Collins, but other than a few gross-out scenes tossed in for shock value, rough language, and a bit of casual drug and alcohol abuse, it's actually pretty bland. The story hops around bet...more

Meet the Romeros, Mom Kat, sisters, Kassidy, Kamille and Kyle. The Romero's life is turned upside down when husband/dad David Romero dies suddenly and they have to sell their house for something more modest. A life insurance policy allows Kat to buy a defunct restaurant in West Hollywood. Then she marries Beau, a retired Dodger pitcher, and he add his kids, Benjy and Bree, to the family.

The credits list both a collaborator and an editor, so I can only assume that these people are the writers rather than the delightful Kardashian sisters. I imagine a marketing scenario wherein a ghost-writer and an editor find themselves unwillingly participating in a series of uncomfortable sit-downs, endless drunken text messages, and random emails relating soap-opera-esque ideas mixed with thinly veiled personal anecdotes. (The most horrible of these being a scene in a club where a drinking b...more
I'll admit, I'm a fan of the Kardashians. Still, I set my expectations really, really, really low with this book. Okay, I don't want to hear it. Please don't mistake my rating as me thinking this book was good. It wasn't. At all. Nonetheless, it was like a terrible soap opera or grisly car crash. With every chapter of this ludicrous book I just laughed more and more. I don't think this book could have been more terrible if it tried.

Untuk ukuran sebuah buku yang ditulis oleh sosialitas hollywood, menurut saya novel ini cukup lumayan. Perkiraan awal saya, buku ini akan masuk ke dalam kategori chicklit biasa yang bacanya gak pake mikir dan ceritanya hanya sekedar cerita.
Novel ini mengisahkan 3 kakak beradik, serta ibu mereka, Kass, Kamille, Kyle dan Kat (sang ibu). Setiap karakter punya masalah sendiri dan diceritakan dengan sudut pandang berbeda beda per bab nya, meskipun tidak semua memiliki pemecahan atau solusi. Biasanya...more

Satu hal yang paling menarik dari buku ini adalah: kover depan bertema macan tutul disertai warna kuning-oranye cerah untuk judul buku dan pink menyala untuk nama keluarga para penulis rombongan ini yang secara keseluruhan memberi kesan atraktif tanpa terkesan berlebihan.

Pertama tahu bahwa buku ini ditulis oleh Trio Kardashian, hal pertama yang saya lakukan adalah segera googling untuk memastikan mereka benar-benar menulis buku. Ya.. boleh heran donk, wong saya kenal mereka itu dari modeling, bintang iklan sampai acara-acara reality show yang bertebaran di E!. Ternyata mereka benar-benar membuat novel ini, yang membuat saya makin penasaran seperti apa cerita yang mereka kisahkan di sini.

"Dollhouse is a first fiction collaboration by the fabulous Kardashian sisters— Kourtney, Kim, and Khloé. Fans will love this novel which reveals the inner workings of a glamorous, high profile, and complicated family which, at the center of their universe, is one with a huge heart and a lot of love. The novel offers a dramatic peek into the lives of a trio of sibling celebrities who are not always as they appear in the Hollywood gossip magazines."

Yes, i read a novel written by the kardashians. i saw one episode of their show once, was kinda dull. regular people having a sweet 16 and girl getting her license. anyway, i saw this book in the new books section at the library and thought oh how funny, ill read it. this is the story of three sisters, alternating from each's point of view. after their director dad died, their mom remarried and they gained a step brother and sister, and now they all have to work at their mom's restaurant to make...more

Going to start my review by saying that I am a Kardashian fan but I was aware when I was getting in line to purchase it that I'd be in for amateur writing, but hopefully a decently fun book. I started reading it, and wanted to know what was going to happen since the beginning. It was hard to not picture the Kardashian's as the characters in the story as all of the names started with a 'K' and were all similar to how their show is portrayed. I don't think the storyline was great, and don't really...more
Initially I was a little embarrassed about reading this book because of who the authors are, but that's exactly why I read it and I can honestly say I was not disappointed!
In a nutshell, it focuses on three sisters, and their mom, stepdad and younger half-siblings. They comprise a very functional dysfunctional family. Don't think I'd want to sit down to dinner with them, but Dollhouse is a pretty cute story! Good girl gone awry, attention-seeker turned model and reformed bad girl headed up by a...more

well, I read this book because I am a fan of the Kardashians and it was on sale at Target. I wouldnt recommend this for a young girl or any girl for that matter. There are alot of grown up issues in this book and it portrays the "stongest" of the sisters to be mediocre in actual strength. I didnt enjoy reading this and I gave it away as a christmas gift. I wanted it to be more interesting, with the title, Dollhouse, I was sure to get something wayyyy more interesting than a provacative drama fil...more
Where to begin... Actually if you ignore the fact that it was written by the Kardashian sisters (or so they say) it wasn't that bad. Think of a Jackie Collins book for teens. Which is a little bothersome, because if I had a teenage daughter, I don't think I'd want her reading this because there's a lot of talk about sex, drugs, and drinking. And lots of language. But I guess these day in age, that's normal for teens to read. I got very annoyed with them always calling each other 'doll' which is...more
I can't say I'm a humongous fan of The Kardashian, albeit I own every season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians that's available on DVD, HOWEVER, when I saw this book in the library, I really didn't think it was going to be good.
I picked it up, checked it out, and decided to give it a try anyway. To my surprise, I couldn't put it down and it took me like two days to read it. It was pretty hard not to picture the characters as the Kardashian sisters (and fam), considering the amount of similariti...more

At first, when I read the flap on this book, I was kind of bothered by the fact that it’s obviously pretty much an autobiography. But now I’ve realized that their life really does make for good fiction, so it’s all good. I wasn’t expecting it to be as well written as it is, even with their “collaborator” probably writing the whole thing. It’s interesting, and is actually a really good story. I would definitely recommend this to people who like girly YA books, even if they don’t know who the Kard...more
Tidak butuh waktu lama untuk melahap buku yang ditulis dengan empat sudut pandang yang berbeda. Karena Dollhouse memang menyajikan cerita yang ringan dan mengalir. Jadi tidak perlu mengerutkan dahi untuk mengerti bagaimana kisah Kamille, Kassidy, Kyle setelah ditinggalkan oleh mendiang ayahnya, dan tidak ketinggalan Kat, ibu mereka, yang memutuskan untuk melanjutkan hidup dengan menikah lagi setelah bertemu sahabat lamanya. Asyiknya lagi tidak ada cerita yang berulang, seperti yang biasa terjadi...more

Meskipun ini cerita fiksi tapi mau tidak mau saya membayangkan Kourtney, Kim, dan Khloe Kardashian (plus) Kris Jenner menjadi tokoh utama Dollhouse ini.
Selain dari kemiripan huruf awal pada nama mereka, cerita yang ada juga tidak jauh berbeda. Well, sebut saja: hidup mewah, reality show, dunia model, dll. Berikut ini contoh daftar kemiripannya:
1. Kat dan Beau LeBlanc (former Bisbol Player) equals Kris dan Bruce Jenner (former track and field athlete)

This book is written worse then the Twlight Saga. It lacks any plot, imagination, and character development. Dollhouse is an obvious smoke screen for the authors' true lives. It would have been better if they wrote a tell all autobiography, then trying to pass this off as fiction. Anyone with half a brain can see that the three "heroines" of the novel are Kim, Kourtney, and Khole. Show me an original plot and I'll consider this a well-written book, so far I have found nothing.
I'm quite the kardashian fan and genuinely enjoy their products and books although this book isn't my favorite. I understand this book portrays their life experiences with fictional characters, while the story is great I often find my mind wondering which character represents which sister...for this reason it's hard to sit back and enjoy. Which is a real downer for me, as I loved their other books thus-far.
1. Pretty relieved they left the door WIDE OPEN for a sequel.
2. I don't really know a lot about the actual Kardashians, but kudos for the ol' victim shame-n-blame. NO SPOILERS YOU GUYS MIGHT READ IT.
3. Which is the oldest IRL? Did you know one is having a baby today or something? What great timing.
4. This is the best written dialogue I have ever read, especially every time they have a smoothie (every page).

Well, I think what just about everyone else thinks, I hope...
The Kardashian's know exactly how to make money. And make money they do.
This story was boring, not the slightest bit of entertaining but at least it kept me reading. I finished it! How exciting. I didn't think I would.
I just wished they would have been just a bit more creative. The world already knows so much about their life, why put what we see on TV in a book. With just a few differences...
