Kardashian Dynasty: The Controversial Rise of America's Royal Family

Ian Halperin is the best...his books are tastefully written, yet give us all the "view from the inside" we all want with celebrities.. A+ Ian. !!!

This is the best book on the Kardashians that I have read so far. Awesome narrator.

There is absolutely nothing new in this book. If you keep up with all the magazines and gossip sites you already know everything that's in this book. Not worth it.

A nice chronologically told account that draws heavily from the books Kardashian Confidential and All Things Kardashian. It is nice to hear their whole story told all at once, instead of in bits and pieces.

Hearing Holter Graham act out the different voices cracked me up, especially when he does the voice of Kim.

Holter Graham's Kim Kardashian impression, tho...

Gotta admit I cried a little when it talked about Robert Kardashian's death.

A really fun listen, if you're a fan. If you're not, this will be your hell.

Too much detail about OJ Simpson, Paris Hilton, and other ancillary "characters" without enough detail about the actual family. No real details about the kids, especially Kendall and Kylie, and a decidedly negative spin on the matriarch "momager". All of the family members are "famous" in their own right and the entire story focused on Kris and Kim with virtually no focus on any of the other children. There was so much more that could have been told but was left out for the chance to slam Kris and Kim at every turn. You don't have to love the Kardashians but there is more to their story than OJ and Paris and their contributions to the family's rise to fame.

Nothing dramatic or new as far as the Kardashian story. It's one long recap of watching the show...don't waste your time.
The impersonations are HORRIBLE as well.

nothing you wouldn't know by watching the show or even just perusing People once in awhile.

All the stuff in this book is already out. Nothing new was said. Could have been better.

Maybe. Not about people who are overexposed in the media. There is no new facts here.

Almost. I do wonder why I paid to read material we all already know too much of for free.

The cocky tone of voice

Burn my ipad and go to church.

Don't bother. If loving to hate the Kardashians is your secret vice, you'll have to hear the same stories we all know and to make it worse, the author LOVES Kris Kardashian and paints her as an innocent Saint and loving mother...So we know who is REALLY behind this book.

This book was literally a compilation of any literature written or filmed on the Kardashians. Anyone with a High School Education could have written it. There was nothing in this book that someone who's kept up with the Kardashians wouldn't already know. . It is not "controversial" book at all... and I certainly do not believe the Author "went under cover" ESP using a big Athlete's name in such a manner...

He compiled everything Kardashian or Jenner related and made it into a book and it disappoints me that he's making a living doing this because he can tell a great story, but doesn't add anything to spice up the read.

meh... the narrator was a male reading a story about mostly females.

For someone who wants a quick (or 8hr) catch up on the Kardashians lives, this is the book for you. But don't expect anything dramatic or what you don't already know...

The Kardashians keep their noses clean, so not too surprised by the contents of this book. What I did enjoy were the excerpts from Robert Kardashian Sr.'s journal. The Author does seem to embellish a little here and there and only one who's followed the kardashians since day one would pick up on. What can I say, I admire work ethics. <br/>
