Sliding Into Home
by Kendra Wilkinson
I will admit I was interested in reading this book! I had seen her on television a number of times when I had nothing else to watch and I thought it would be interesting to read more about her relationship with Hef and what not, but then I was also sceptical. Writing your memiors at the age of 25? Really?? To me it seemed more of a "get more money" deal but ahh well.
I found the book of a friends bookshelf and decided to borrow it. I started reading it quickly but found myself getting rather irritated by the way it was written. To me it felt as if Kendra was trying to read a word limit as she became quiet repetitive, especially as she went on to describe her drug addiction at such a young age. The constant need to remind people how heavily she was into the drugs, whilst recounting stories that were all rather similar to one another, became quite aggravating to read.
It also seemed as if she was using the book as an 'oh why me' outlet which also became rather frustrating. In my eyes, she never really accepted responsibility for her own actions. Granted, a few times I did question her families role in a few situations, but still...
I was intrigued to read about her relationship with Hugh Hefner, and although I think I expected more, I did have a few questions answered for me. I also enjoyed the chapters in which she talked about her relationship with her now husband, Hank Baskett. I found it rather disappointing that any time she seemed to be writing about something 'real' or 'deep' she would skim over it and then go back to writing about the same old repetitive scenarios.
I give this book a 2.5 out of 5 only because I had wanted to read it and it wasn't so bad that I wasn't able to finish it. The writing wasn't all the best and the story line was rather dull but it kept me entertained for a few nights, between my heavy work load and crazy adventures. I found a lot of it to be disappointing though, and something I don't see myself ever reading again.
