Sliding Into Home

Great Read. Real Girl. Detailed earlier life.

Loved the book. Read it in less than a day. Great insight at the girl behind the camera. Great insight onto the road that lead her to the girl, wife, and mother she is today. about her feelings and how she dealt with the struggles of her life. Less detail about the Playboy years but yet you still won't be disappointed. Cute about learning about her current life but not that much. I hope she does a second book. Overall great read.

Fantasy

This book should have a parental advisory label, or not be allowed to be purchased by anyone under the age of 18. I cannot see that it would be helpful to young people of any age, and the information Ms. Wilkinson fills the pages with is so contradictory and confusing that I have to wonder if any of this autobiograhy is real at all. For years we have been hearing how she was a dental assistant in San Diego before being "discovered" by Hugh Hefner, now we hear she was a stripper using drugs. For years we have been told that her father left when she was three, then four, then eight, and now somewhere between the ages of 13 and 14. The list just goes on. Frankly how anyone could presume to write an "autobiography" at the age of 25 is ludicrous. Ms. Wilkinson's personal story (fantasy), unfortunately leaves me with the feeling that young people, girls in particular, will see her crazy life as the ticket to fame and fortune. I only wish someone, anyone would have actually done the research to find out what the facts are about her life before putting this book to print. The information that has been put together by Ms. Wilkinson's media machine is clearly a salacious attempt to titillate the masses only for profit.

Disappointing

I'm not sure what I expected out of this book, but I was disappointed. 1, the book was too short. I finished it in less than 24 hours (and not because it was riveting). 2, Kendra still seems to be making excuses for her prior drug use as well as other aspects of her life. At one point, her and her boyfriend argue over her flashing her boobs to cameras and people in clubs, and she actually says "I swear on my life I had to [flash]!". And in regards to her drug use, she claims she wasn't addicted but just "really, really liked" how she felt high. While it seems like she's on the right path, she still has a lot of learning and growing up to do before she reflects back on her life.

loved, loved, loved!

It's as clear as this, if you don't like Kendra then don't pick up the book. It seems to me that some people only pick up the book to criticize. She used to be a playboy bunny! You should have some idea what was going on in that mansion! So if you're so disgusted by that alone then why bother to read the book? I read this book in one day because I could not put this down! I gave it to three other people to read who finished it within three days and also loved the book! Maybe it's because I am a teenager and am used to hearing these things more than other generations. Also alot of other reviewers are questioning whether or not this story was true. If you watch her show she tells her ghost writer what to write! She reads it and revises it with him! So if you're a teenage girl or someone who just loves Kendra I advise you to read it! Trust me, my copy of Sliding Into Home is not in the trash bin, it's floating around between friends.

I was impressed!

At first I was not sure if I wanted to read this book, but I took a chance.. and glad I did. This book was easy to read, and have a great back story of the life and childhood of Kendra Wilkinson. I view her in a totally different light now, and she's way more then what you see on TV! I would recommend this book to anyone!

Waste of time, paper and ink

I read this book at the ER while waiting with a friend. It truly was all that was available. She's a fairly brainless, shallow girl who seems as though she's looking for validation. I'm sure she'll be validated by some, but she is a prime example of the dumbing down of young people. I hope any young girls that read this are mature enough to understand that only 1 in million girls grab the money that she has without an education. Far better to stay in school. I can't help but feel that this book is nothing but a justification for her drug use and her flashing her naked self all over, as it was her only way out. Too bad she never learned how to think and use her brain. She comes off sounding like trailer trash. I never watched her show, but if it's as dumbed down as this book, no wonder we have so many out of work with no skills.

Honest

I hesitated buying this book because I thought it wouldn't be that good, but it is very well written and it's as if she's saying it to you! She is honest about her past and yes she's 25, but had more experiences and made more mistakes than most people have that are 40, so that said don't judge someone who's open and honest with their mistakes-we all can learn from then if we are willing. I read this book in a few days;would have read sooner but I work full time. I have friends who asked to borrow after I was done. Can't wait for the next book.

Total let down, waste of my time

Having watched The Girls Next Door ,I always thought that Kendra's dumbness was just a act for good t.v. ..however after reading her book I realized that it's not a act! It's sad too see how she gives girls the false idea that if you look beautiful, then anything is possible,even if you are a drug abuser,who has no education,and no morals...it's ok because your looks will get you anywhere. I feel sorry for her husband,this book is a joke and so is she!

Very Honest

I think this book was good some people cant accept the fact that she is a real person all people want to read is about these Hollywood stars and how people lives were always aw so bright when sometimes there are people out there who lives wasnt a freaking white picket fence until some people can be open to others and STOP BEING SO JUDGMENTAL then maybe people can get somewhere. I think people are hating on her and jealous of her life so I say Go KENDRA and keep doing your thing and there are going to be hateful people who want to see her fail and be unsuccessful but I really enjoyed the book and I think its a good lesson and I think young these days are doing far worse than what Kendra did I bet the people who talking crap their daughters watch Kendra and are doing more than what their parents can imagine and I am a grown women and as women instead of down grading one another we need to be more uplifted to others (shaking my head) Its a shame how people can be!

STOP Being so HATEFUL

I wish the people out there that didn't enjoy Kendra's life story (up to this point in her life anyway) would stop being negative and let the people out there read the book without first reading your comment telling them "not to waste their money" . Many reviews were totally out of line and incorrect. Kendra's father left more than once, and that is why there are different AGES that he left- so who ever it was that wrote about that can go back and pay closer attention to what they are reading- DID you even read it?? Also, someone said that she was too young to write about her life at age 25- WELL that's funny because she did it and A LOT OF PEOPLE enjoy her and loved her story. Actually, I am sure many people out there are hoping for another book. That same person called her "dumb" and I say there is NOTHING dumb about making money! She has a child to raise and she is actually really SMART for writing this book the way she did AND already at AGE 25- because now she can write another one when she is 30 and Hank JR. is 5. It is a great book and hard to put down. It IS OKAY FOR TEENS UNDER 18 TO READ THIS!! IT will teach young girls/guys to LISTEN TO YOUR HEART and FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS~ and that drugs/sex will get you nowhere in life- except into trouble and they are not worth your time. SO those of you making comments about the age of the readers- you are totally wrong and you obviously have no idea what kids are doing at such young ages these days- GET A CLUE! They are going to be around it anyway, so why keep them from reading about it? It says nothing about her looks or "being beautiful will get you whatever you want in life"- so the people that wrote that are confused and just insecure with themselves. Very sad. Read something else if you don't like what hot chicks that have a bright future ahead of them have to say. -Okay so I could go on all night but I will stop there. Just be nice, or don't say anything at all. That is my message.

LOVE KENDRA

I love reading this book, I feel like I got to know her more than watching her on TV.

You've come a long way Kendra!

This book is heartfelt and touching. Kendra doesn't hold back in allowing the reader to know her entire life story. I was surprised about the revelations of what actually happened at the Playboy mansion and also shocked that Hugh Hefner would allow these truths to be told. I admire Kendra for how far she has come. I hope she continues to see success. She has certainly changed quite a bit and appears to be very happy with her husband and being a mother. Keep it up!

Amazing IF you love Kendra!

I personally love watching Kendra's show every sunday night on E! so I couldn't wait for this book to come out! I finished reading it the day I started because it was so interesting! I always wanted to know what happened behind the doors at the Playboy Mansion. I could not put this book down! Being a teenager I did not take this book as what I should do in my own life. After reading about her past, I did not want to become a stripper and think that I was going to be discovered. People who think that is going to happen are very unrealistic or know girls who are very easily influenced. Also, I did not have any problems reading this book. Nothing was confusing or contradicting. If you actually read the book it says how she was first a dental assistant and then became a stripper. She did both at different times in her life. Her father was in and out of her life so there was never a definite age. Although she is still young, I believe that she has a lot of experience and definitely has an interesting story to tell! I mean how many people have lived in the Playboy Mansion before? If you watch the show, then you see how she tells her ghost writer exactly what she wants in it and reviews the book with him, so it is an autobiography. It came from her mouth! I would only recommend this book if you actually like Kendra and have an open mind.

i love Kendra Wilkinson sliding into home is great I'm not quite done with the book yet but it is so good and hell of funny i didn't know that the girls had a nine o clock curfew i thought that was crazy because they are grown women but i guess that's the way Hef wants it the 1,000 a week allowance is cool. i so recomened this book if you like kendra or the girls next door or if you really want to know what goes down in the playboy mansion then you need to go pick up this book.
