Naaa...total waste! Feel guilty having bought it

We live in a society where women are held to contradictory standards for their bodies -- they are expected to be blatantly sexual in order to court male attention, yet are despised for those same displays of sexuality. The line between owning one's sexuality has been blurred with the cynical efforts to court male attention. So the creator of this book is to be commended for creating such an intelligent, elaborate art piece as "Kim Kardashian Selfish," which subtly yet scathingly lampoons the current pop-culture trends of shallow celebrity and social-media selfies. This collection of photographs of reality-TV blister Kim Kardashian is far more than meets the eye -- it may seem vacuous, but it is definitely far more. At first glance, these photographs seem to be the worst kind of vapid social media attention-garnering. But it soon becomes clear that these photos have been compiled so that the sheer emptiness of their subject has become apparent. What could be more empty and soulless than a constant stream of selfies, focused entirely upon the sexuality of a woman who has no function in society? Without a word to guide the reader, the reader is slowly immersed into a world of complete lack of substance, forcing even the most undiscerning mind to realize that it is immersed in something that has no reason to exist. At the same time, the title "Selfish" gives us a hint about the intended purpose of this. Social media has allowed people to cultivate self-promotion to the point of obsession, focusing as much attention on themselves as possible. It also has a possibly-unintended message about the nature of celebrity. Celebrity and social media are now intertwined irrevocably, so that any person with enough social media presence can become a celebrity, and any celebrity needs a social media presence to maintain their social significance. So this book shows us what celebrity now is, and all it requires: an empty succession of images using transparent, blatant sexuality to attract the attention of the lowest common-denominator. At the same time, it forces us to examine our attitudes towards the rich and famous -- why do we pay more attention to pictures of the breasts, butt and lolling tongue of Kim Kardashian, when it would not be worthy of our interest in an ordinary woman? Indeed, it might be considered obnoxious and reprehensible. So yes, this must be an elaborate satire, and a brilliantly subtle yet effective one. Either that, or this book is just a vapid waste of paper, celebrating a vacuous celebrity and her cartoonish, grotesque, surgically-deformed body. Not to mention an unironic chronicling of her social media obsession, in a desperate attempt to fill the gaping black hole in her soul with transient attention for showing off her body and "sexy" faces, and pandering to "fans" that likely cannot spell their own names. But that possibility is so depressing that I would want to go bury myself alive in the backyard, so I choose to believe the former scenario is the one that actually is true.

One of the most beautiful Women I have ever, or ever will see. I love Kimberly Noel Kardashian. Thank You so much for an un-believably positive and breathtaking contribution to our society. The pictures are intimate, they are beautiful and tell a story. There's every type of picture, from elegantly dressed, to breathtakingly nude. Again Thank U! Now I am indebted to take the time to discuss the horrifyingly negative reviews of this book...God loves all of us, forgives every sin, now I understand human-beings do not, but you who are leaving such hateful and angry words need to remember you are disfiguring your own soul to speak such words, and actually worse yet, put them in writing, Christ spoke in the Gospels of the people asking God, "When did we ever deny thee alms?" Christ-"As surely as you denied them to the least of mine, you denied them also to me." Comprehend the moral meaning of this parable extends far beyond the literal interpretation, if you cannot see the connection I am making, you are in BIG trouble. Please read this prayer before you comment further on my review or write a negative review or comment on other negative reviews and support such hatred, you are now accountable, and should you desire to still run toward the fire, I assure you, you will burn... The Lantern I pray You will help us to discern between what is important and what is trivial, To focus fiercely upon what is important and disregard what is trivial; I pray You will bring awareness to us of our physical as well as our inner beauty, so we will then feel inspired to preserve as well as enhance it by natural measures; I pray that You will bring awareness to us of Your Plan, how it unfolds according to your will for the best for all, so to know it’s not about a single one, but also to trust completely in You; I pray You will help us to develop the qualities which will attract good people, But until and after this time, I pray You will keep us aware You are always there for us so we never have to feel alone; I pray You will grant us Patience; I pray You will grant us Peace; I pray You will help us to discern between The Good and the bad, To let in the Good And let go of the bad; I thank You I love You Amen.

C'était un cadeau pour une amie. Elle adore Kim donc ce livre ne peut être que super pour elle ! Un conseil ne l'achetez pas pour les moins de 18ans il y a des photos entièrement dénudés, ce que je trouve assez choquant mais quand on s'appelle Kim Kardashian il faut pas s'attendre à autre chose, surtout que faire un livre de ses selfies c'est déjà taré alors bon!

If you're in the market for a book that is as self-reflective as a mirror covered in glitter, then "Selfish" is the book for you. I picked this up expecting some deep dive into the psyche of a cultural icon—and, well, that’s exactly what I got, minus the deep dive part. Instead, it’s a glamorous collection of selfies that made me think, "Wow, she really knows how to pose." The book is essentially a visual diary of Kim's life, and by visual, I mean it’s like opening Instagram but in paper form. You’ll see Kim in every setting imaginable and I mean EVERY setting. I must admit, I couldn’t stop turning the pages (not because of riveting prose, but because I couldn’t look away). There’s something oddly mesmerizing about Kim’s ability to turn every moment into art—if by art, you mean well-curated images that make you feel like maybe you should put on a full face of makeup to go grocery shopping. Would I recommend this book? Only if you’re a fan of Kim, selfies, or simply need something to inspire your own self-esteem levels. It’s a quick read, because let’s be honest, it’s not about the words—it’s about the selfies. Five stars for the sheer audacity of it all, and for reminding me that maybe I need more glitter in my life.

Fue el regalo de cumpleaños prefecto para mi esposo, lo terminó de "leer" ese mismo día. La perfecta descripción de lectura ligera.

Ich habe zwar ewig auf die Lieferung gewartet, aber als das Buch ankam, habe ich mich sehr gefreut. Es sind immer noch Bilder dabei, die man bis jetzt nicht im Internet zuvor schon gesehen hatte. Die Qualität der Innenseiten gefällt mir auch sehr gut. Das einzig negative ist meiner Meinung nach der Buchumschlag. Der wird sicher nicht lange so schön bleiben, sondern an den Ecken kaputt gehen oder Ähnliches.
