I got this biography a while back on sale at bookoutlet.com. I love biographies no matter who they are so I added this one to my collection.
This biography is what you would expect from Kris Jenner - fluffy and bubbly and fast paced. You don't read this expecting to change your life or receive life changing advice; you read it because they're an interesting family.
This novel was written pre-Caitlyn Jenner so in here Kris is still raving about the wonderful man she married. It's also pre Kim and Kanye.
Kris moves quickly from topic to topic, because if she went in depth on all the exciting events of her life she would have a 1000 page novel. There are affairs, divorce, several moves, entrepreneurial adventures, heartache and happiness. She breezes through the events in her life with a bubbly effervescence. There's no dirty gossip, no backstabbing, no throwing anybody under the bus. It sounds like she lives her life being accountable for the mistakes she made and being open minded about her loved ones.
Surprise takeaways are that I didn't realize Kris was a spiritual woman. I've never seen Keeping Up With the
the Kardashiens, so I don't know if she's discussed her faith on the show, but it sounds as if it's always played an important role in her life and her decisions (well, except for that dalliance during her marriage, but in the larger scope of things she's a very Christian woman.)
The book also deals with her friendship with Nicole Brown Simpson and her earlier friendship with OJ and how the family dealt with that tragedy. Kris took it hard because she had been close friends with Nicole, but at the same time it must've was devastating when someone you had been friends with for so long like OJ is charged with your best friend's murder and you also lose trust in him during the process.
All in all, it's a fun read. Kris brings her exciting and nonstop life to us like a 302 page US magazine article - Great section of family photos and fizzy fun dialogue.
