Dear Mrs. Zrihen, 

   I just finished reading the book Kim Kardashian 's biography written by Celebrity Media, Before buying this book i looked at the Rates it has gotten, 3 stars out of 5 by two people rating. I also read the reviews the book has. While reading, i wrote down all the quotes i ran into and important notes, such as that shes divorced. but today, she is happily married. After reading, i searched the highlights of the book to make sure i got everything i needed to know.

 " I know people think we drive around in these nice cars and we do whatever we want, our parents will just pay our credit cards but that's not how it works. Sure my parents were nice enough to get me a nice car at 16 but at 18 i was cut off, i had to do it myself, i worked really hard to get it" -Kim Kardashian. On page 7. I picked this quote because everyone has the same impression on every single famous person, because that's what it looks like from our perspective, we can't see all the hard work unless we do it our self's.

  The genre of this book is Biography, non fiction. It is a biography because it is a real story based on someone's real life story. But it is told from someone else perspective. Some character's in this book are Kim Kardashian which is the main character in the book, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian are also character's in the book that are spoken of a lot. The author wrote this story to entertain us on Kim Kardashian's life. There isin't really a mood and tone in this book since the author is only telling us facts and events in her past. The author is not telling us a story where there opinions are included, which helps us figure out the tone. The authors point of view is second person since they are using the words She, and They etc. Kim doesn't talk herself in the book, only in quotes that the author took from her.

  The topic of this book is Clearly Kim Kardashian and the main idea would be Kim Kardashian's life story. The main idea is stated since it is written everywhere. or talked about. Some supporting details to the main idea would be,  Her family,  and Her goals in life. These supporting details are both factual details. They are factual details since they are facts and stated in the book. In biography books there usually are not essential messages. This book has no essential message since it is about her past and she didn't do anything major that made a change.  From my background knowledge about Kim i could compare her contrast her to her sisters, since i watch there show but in this book Kim is the only character mentioned unless it added Khloe and Kourtney to one of Kim's actions but they have nothing told about there personality's in the book. There were many text features in this book! Titles, Sub titles, Italicized words, Bold words and pictures.

Some new words i learned in this book were, Defamatory, which means injuries. Alleges, which means to have proof of something. I rate this book a 9 out of 10, because i would of liked it if the author put more feeling into the book then just facts. However, i reccomend this book to everyone! Kim Kardashian is a very interesting person to learn about!
