In hindsight, I don't know why I checked this book out at the library. Anywho, this was a take along book for my flight to Vegas. The author came off to me sometimes as seedy and sleezy. It appears he surmised most of his information from the Enquirer, Star magazine or gossip. Pros: You will learn a few things about the history of the Hiltons. Cons: After reading the book, it only confirmed what I thought about Paris Hilton: spoiled rich kid born with a silver spoon in her mouth. I though

I don't know why I read this book. I hoped I get more information about the family and hotel dynasty of the Hilton. The only thing I remember after reading this book or some chapters of the book is that Paris Hilton, Paris mother and Paris grand mother wanted more than anything in the world to marry a rich man. This book sucks :)

I read this book because I wanted to know how far south a family had to go before they ended up with a Paris Hilton.
Then I realized that I was approaching it from the wrong perspective. Compared to her crazier relatives, there is nothing wrong with Paris Hilton.

Tawdry tale of the biggest media users in generations. Explains some of the dysfunction between the Richards sisters, and some of the shameless promotion done by the entire family.

Ok, maybe I'm the only person in my social circle, and family, and town, who does not totally hate Paris Hilton. To me, she's that chick who would always be nice to be when I see her, and if I needed it, she'd give me a ride somewhere if it was on her way. Her geneology is a roller coaster ride of gold-digging women, and playboy bachelors. Having grown up near LA, I have known kids whose parents were so beyond reality in the glamour sense, that these kids had but no option, but to grow up with t

I like biographies, and love to learn more 'behind the scenes' information (I'm my own tabloid). With the Hilton family being so famous these days, it was a fun read to see how it all started. The book is very interesting and gives you quite the insight into the family (all the way back to the original Hilton hotel). It was a pretty quick ready. For those of you who like to gossip about the rich & famous, I would recommend reading this.

Loved it! A guilty pleasure to be sure, but also an almost unintentional study of women's roles.
