5 Reasons Why Kardashian Konfidential Is the Worst Book Ever

5 Reasons why the Kardashian Konfidential is one of the worst books ever

 

Keeping Up with the Kardashians is one of my all-time favorite shows. I obsess over anything Kardashian, so when I heard they had a book, Kardashian Konfidential, I wanted to read it.  Let me tell you Kardashian Konfidential is one of the worst books I have ever read in my entire life, it’s even worse than all the books you have to read in school. Here’s why.

#1-There “k-tips” are awful

In the book they give life and advice and tips for example “how to wax yourself”. This is not the only tips they give but all of them are pointless. In “how to wax yourself” they suggest starting to get bikini waxes at age thirteen, but if you can’t get it done professionally you should do it yourself. Many people would agree with me that this is a little young but besides suggesting it so young they also had very bad tips. People don’t really need tips on how to wax or “how to be a celeb”.

#2-One third of the book is pictures and notes

The book has more pictures and pictures of notes than it does words. The amount of pictures in this book is unnecessary, every page has at least three. There is at least seventeen pages where it’s just a giant picture of Kim covering the entire page! They also show a lot of notes they wrote to each other but there so tiny and the hand writing is sloppy you can’t even read it. No one cares what Khloe wrote on Kourtney’s birthday card!

 

#3-It’s supposed to be a Kardashian tell all book but they go into very little detail

This supposedly “tell all” book rarely goes into detail. I was hoping to find out more things that I have never known about the Kardashian’s but it was all very broad. The way the described certain events where very boring and uninteresting. For example when they were going into detail about the OJ Simpson case. They made a statement saying “my mom was convinced OJ killed Nicole but our dad was on OJ side.” I wish they all would’ve stated what they thought about the OJ case and if they thought he killed her or not.

#4-They use their own slang

Throughout the entire book they use slang and abbreviations they made up. Some of it is amaze, doll, douchlord, and totes.  These words they use don’t seem to be annoying at first but as they use them throughout the book it gets so obnoxious! “So dolls, to sum it up: We’re going to share it all with you.” That got on my nerves more than people chewing with their mouths open.

#5-The sisters try to act humble

If I got a dollar for every time one of the sisters would talk about how there not spoiled I would be a millionaire. They mention it so much that it makes them sound arrogant. The chapter titles also make them sound spoiled for example Teen Queens and We’re Spoiled but not Spoiled Brats.

In conclusion this book is one of the worst books I have ever read because they pretend to be humble, use there own slang, doesn’t tell us all about there lives, has too many pictures, and dumb tips. I advise not to waste your time reading this book

Post #5

In my mind a book has to be 90% true to be considered non-fiction. I think that a non-fiction book has to have the main important events but added with detail to make them better. It cannot have huge events that are complete lies. I think that if an author has to add a little more to make it a better book its okay. For example in my personal narrative I Had to do for English I had the main parts of my story but added small details that didn’t happen but made my story great. I think half-truths are different then just adding detail. Half-truths could cross the line on if its okay or not. It really depends how the half-truth affects the story. I think that Frey did nothing wrong but maybe it shouldn't have been called a memoir because think if you bend the truth as much as he did it’s not really a memoir anymore. I don't think David Shields is right. I think we should label genres. Without labeling genres you wouldn't know if it’s real or not, and I think if  I'm reading a book I would want to know if it really happened or if it’s made up. 

 

Adapting Breakfast at Tiffany's-Post #4

Breakfast at Tiffany’s would be an easy book to adapt into a movie. The way to book is written has a lot of dialogue so the movie would also have to have a lot of dialogue. One essential scene they would need to keep is when Holly goes up the fire escape to Fred’s room. I think this book needs this scene because it shows the friendship that Holly and Fred have, and how it continues to grow throughout the book.

I have also seen the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the movie it tells you that “Fred’s” name is Paul while in the book he is just referred to as Fred. I think that in the movie they should have kept his name anonymous because for some reason I think it really added to the book. I think that it showed Holly’s personality.

Lastly they should have kept the scene at the party where Fred is talking to OJ. I think this is one of the bigger scenes in the book that should have been emphases more in the movie. For example when holly is in the shower and they are talking about her.

One scene that I would cut out of the book is at the beginning when Fred is in the bar talking to Joe Bell about Holly and retelling the story. This part in the book somewhat confused me at first and I feel like it was just not that important to add. A minor character I would take out of the book and the movie is Holly’s upstairs neighbor I.Y Yunioshi, I find him completely unnecessary throughout the book. Also in the movie they make him very annoying.
