I really can not even objectively review this book now in retrospect...It pissed me off so much when I read it back in '06 that I didn't even bother to put it in my read books shelf...I have always battled with self-esteem issues...So as much as I love my YA and Paranormal Romance books, I try to always read just as many self-empowerment books and spiritual books so that I can try to get to a place of balance where self-esteem is concerned...I'm not really a Kimora fan, but, I figured why not give the book a whirl...It may change me mind about her....It didn't...Definately a book for those who are fans and maybe those who watch her show on tv...I will give her props on her clothing line though...I really like some of the pieces...especially the shoes and bags....

I did not expect much when I picked this book up a couple of years back but by the time i was done with it I rather enjoyed. It was a while ago so I do not remember the specifics but do recall feeling positive after reading.

Not a bad read! Very empowering! Kimora's journey through life and her fast pace to fame was pretty interesting. Reasons why she did what she did made me understand her character and personality more.

This book has some nice advice and outlook on life. There was a lot of info that was not so interesting for me, but I am glad I have read the book.
