Book Review #4: Dollhouse by Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian

 

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.

“Nothing is more important to the Romeros than family. Just ask Kamille, Kassidy, and Kyle -- three beautiful, loving, and deeply loyal sisters who are the heart and soul of their family. Their mother has remarried and their new stepfather, a world-famous all-star baseball player, has come complete with two stepsiblings. Life in L.A. is pretty typical for this newly blended clan.
Until the day everything changes.
Overnight, one of the Romero sisters has become famous -- magazine-cover, fashion-icon, headline-making famous! Trailed by paparazzi, invited to every red carpet event, she has set a new standard for Hollywood royalty.
You'd think that all the glitz and glamour would make life a breeze. But as the sisters painfully discover, being a celebrity in L.A.'s gilded dollhouse isn't all it's cracked up to be. Suddenly their problems are much bigger than sharing clothes and discussing crushes. Who knew that having a famous sister would bring up so many issues: jealousy, backstabbing friends, fix-ups, plastic surgery, and paparazzi run-ins, to name just a few. As the sisters deal with their new lives, complete with a televised wedding, crazy nightclub parties, and forbidden stepsibling attraction, there's a huge secret that threatens to break even their tightest family bonds.”
Dollhouse is the Kardashians poor attempt at writing a book. Well this is the worst book I’ve read all year. Sure, the story lines were okay and kind of interesting, at times but the characters were completely, please excuse my language, ass holes! They’re selfish, evil, judge-mental, people. I wanted to punch them in the face. They completely insult their mother and any other woman from reasons such as being old. The only character I really liked was Kyle. She was great, although that girl has a serious porn addiction.
The dialogue and writing style was so bad. This was so poorly written. Too many clichés were used and the dialogue was completely unrealistic. And the vocabulary. I swear, it sounded like a thirteen-year-old preppy girl had written this. “Ohmigod”, “Oh my God”, “totally”, “definitely”, and “cool” were used a crazy amount of times. Here’s an actual sentence taken from the book: “Ohmigod, Kamille!” Kass tried to sit up, but she couldn’t. “You’re here! I’m so happy to see you! Ohmigod!” (Page 272) It’s so frustrating and irritating. I couldn’t take any of the dialogue seriously because of the overuse of those words. And why do they need to call each other “doll” so much! It’s annoying and stupid!
And the funniest thing about this book is in the copyright page where it says how the people in the book are made from the author’s imagination and how any similarity to people dead or alive is a coincidence. I guess that makes sense, since the authors are the Kardashians and they’re probably always thinking about themselves. What I’m trying to say is: this book is just Keeping Up With The Kardashians but written down on paper and with names changed. Like seriously, doesn’t the name Kam sound familiar? *ahem* Kim *ahem*. And there were just some many similarities to their lives. Why didn’t they just write an autobiographical book about themselves instead of this? Oh, wait, they did!  Ugh, it was awful. Just so awful.
Another thing I hated was the end. There were so many unanswered questions (Oh, gosh, no sequel, please! Just no!) and it seemed like all the problems were fixed magically. It’s like “Oh, yeah, I hated you for months, but it’s the end of the book so I’m magically gonna like you again! Yay!” And the confession their mom made at the end. Oh, please, that was just stupid. A stupid, stupid ending. Also, it seemed that Kamilla’s fame came instantly and easily. It’s like she didn’t work for it! It was just easy-peasy! And she fell in love with a guy after knowing him for 5 minutes! WTF? That’s all I can say!
There were some Okay-ish story lines. Like the getting-pregnant-from-sister’s-boyfriend line. But beside that, the book was, excuse my language once again, shit. Or scheisse, like the German say it. The characters were horrible and I hated them all, except for Kyle. They all sounded like friggin` teenage girls, and I’m pretty sure teenage girls don’t even speak like that anymore! UGH, I HATED, HATED, HATED THIS BOOK SO MUCH! If only they would have written it differently, then maybe it would have been good, or good-ish, at least. So what did I get out of this book, you may ask? Well, I got a headache and the pleasure of knowing what big fame-whores the Kardashians are. Adios, muchachos and muchachas. Au revoir!

My Childhood: High School Musical

So as I was looking through my computer files, I found my High School Musical CDs hidden somewhere deep in my computer. You probably have no idea how happy I was. As I as those CDs I was transported right back into my childhood and my love and obsession for a beautiful, young blonde: Sharpay Evans.

I remember the first time I saw Sharpay. I was dazzled. She was so confident and poised, and sure she was fictional, but she became my role model. I guess you could say that Sharpay is where my blond obsession began. Maybe yes, maybe no. Who knows? Anyway, I loved Sharpay from the first time I saw her. I loved her so much, and my love for her grew when I saw High School Musical 2.
I was living with my cousins around the time HSM2 came out and we all watched it together in the living room. After an hour and a half of movie, we all became obsessed. The months following the premiere of HSM2, my cousins, my brother, and I watched the movie about ten times. We even made re-enactments of the scenes, mainly the “Fabulous” song by Sharpay.
Oh, you don’t know how many times we danced and sang to HSM. It was our obsession. My cousin even was Sharpay for Halloween – two years in a row! We bought endless High School Musical merchandise – books, CDs, blankets, dolls, stickers, notebooks, backpacks, and more! Our house was an endless HSM place! We loved it!
By the time High School Musical 3: Senior Year came out, we were die-hard fans. We were excited and sad for the premiere of HSM3. It was the last HSM movie. The end of our childhood. The end of those three years of happiness. We watched the movie on the day it came out and loved it. We laughed, sang, and cried. Our favorites characters had graduated and moved on to greater and better things.
Oh, we cried and cried. And then we moved on. Somehow, we stopped with the HSM stuff and moved to new things. We cousins grew apart. We pursued new things. We moved to different houses and we never talked like we use to ever again.
And today, about four years after HSM3 came out, here I am. Remembering the pas, listening to the HSM music, tears streaming down my face, tears of happiness. Happiness because recalling those good times I had with my cousins are priceless. Those are the moments that will always be in my heart. HSM was my childhood and it will always be MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIE TRILOGY!  There hasn’t been any other movie that has had such an impact on me; that’s showed me that dreams do come true. That if you work hard and believe anything can be possible. There has never been a movie that has showed me the power of friendship and how much it means. I love HSM and I always will!
Me and my cousins don’t talk much, but we’ll always be connected even when we’re old and have kids. We’ll all be connected by the power of High School Musical. We’ll get our kids together and make them obsessed with HSM. We’ll show them how wonderful it is!
Okay, that is all. Good bye, darlings, thanks for reading this and remember, in the words of High School Musical, “we’re all in this together!”
