 Easy, refreshing read. December 28, 2008

This book, although juvenile and confusing at times, was enjoyable for anyone looking for more than a tabloid story and wanting about 2 weeks to get through it. Nicole fans, and fans of that whole cheesy LA lifestyle will thoroughly enjoy this. It wasn't the best thing i've ever read, but it wasn't horrible either. Just entertaining enough to spend money on and not feel guilty.
 ummm... huh? June 9, 2008

I bought this book based on the past reviews stating that she dishes out a lot of dirt and whatnot. However I didn't see anything remotely close to dirt in this. It was a mixture of "her side of the story" and the view of a third person. I really didn't even understand who the names of the people were supposed to be in reality. I thought she put in good effort... but to me this book just seemed like someone trying to get extra money while putting in 2 weeks to write this book. I really wish I would have bought something more juicy. The ending was predictable even though it is based on her life story.
 A lovely little roman a clef... May 27, 2008

While on a book buying binge with a pop culture theme, I came across "The Truth About Diamonds" and I have to admit that at first I thought to myself "Do I really want to read this book?" But, then I put aside any preconceived notions and just bought it. And you know what... I really enjoyed it. I read it in one night while taking a bubble bath and I found myself so entertained that I didn't put it down until I was done...
"The Truth About Diamonds" follows wealthy socialite Chloe Parker, the adopted daughter of a music royalty, through her rise to fame, battle with drugs, adventures with friends, adventures with frienemies and eventually true love.
Is "The Truth About Diamonds" one of the finest works of literature the world will ever see? No, of course it's not, don't be silly. Is "The Truth About Diamonds" an entertaining, revealing book that would be well placed on any good gossipmongers summer reading list? Yes, yes it is. In fact, I think that "Nicole" has done a great job of creating a lovely little roman a clef with this book and if, in a few years, she decides to write another novel I'll be sure to pick that one up too.
 Why, oh why, are you here? January 20, 2008

Why are you looking at this book? For that matter, why the hell am I here? A discussion with a friend about the empty, whoring lives of these husks we call celebrities brought me to wonder what kind of people read these books, so here I am...condemning you. After reading some reviews, I find myself shivering with disgust...read books like these, and you forfeit your right to have eyes...thems needs brains to work! I feel I should burn my hands off just for typing about this blather, but I'll settle for leaving some hate in my wake...
BAH!
P.S. I know that I am wasting my time even suggesting to you something to read but, God help me, I give a damn about my people:
Love all the People by Bill Hicks
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Siddhartha
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
May God help you...at least try to help yourselves.
 So Nicole's a writer now? January 11, 2008

Not likely. She can barely talk without saying something stupid, let alone write a whole novel using the same dialect she uses; from what I've seen that is. The whole book stikes me as very juvenile; something written by someone in middle school. I strongly suggest not even bothering with the book; I felt like I had wasted ten minutes of my life reading the first six pages. Avoid!
