Truly one of the most shallow and least thoughtful books I've ever read.

I never read an autobiography before. This was a great book. Started it and then could not put it down.

Kris Jenner is the Momager to all her kids but is her husband Bruces manager as well. Most people today know her from their family show Keeping Up With The Kardashians but there is so much more to her story. How she got to the point she is in today. From where she started with the strong women who influenced her early in life, to her marriage to Robert Kardashian, to her friendships with Nicole and O.J. Simpson, to how she met and married Bruce Jenner. She tells all.

I was so excited to get this book for review. I do not watch a lot of reality television but I do watch all the Kardashian shows. I find them to be a nice escape for me and one of my guilty pleasures, even with all Kims drama happening now with her divorce, but thats a topic for another day. It is just sad that it may have taken away from Kriss big launch of this very entertaining and enlightening book.
This book is 98% about Kris Jenners life before the Kardashian family entered the television spotlight with their shows. I knew her first husband was part of O.J. Simpsons Dream Team but never realized the friendship between Kris and Nicole Simpson. Kris gives us the inside view of that friendship and the trial and unique way it touched her whole family, including her now husband Bruce Jenner.
A lot of people say the Kardashians are famous for being famous and that may be true. Kris Jenner is the force behind this family and she took what she had to work with and has basically turned it to gold for this entire family. You cannot argue her work ethic, she is a successful business woman and has passed her drive onto her children. Mistakes were made in her life but she kept going. The book is a testament to perseverance. This book is written with the same mantra as the show, she tells us the good and the bad, the triumphs and the pitfalls.
She did gloss over a few things in the book that I felt should have been addressed but then I realized they werent part of her story. Let Kim talk about her trials and tribulations in her own book someday. The same with the Scott Disick drama, that is for Kourtney to talk about in her own time.
I truly enjoyed this well written memoir. If you are a fan of the Kardashians you will like it too.

Great read. Loved hearing more about their background story. Will be interesting to those who don't know about their OJ connection.
