And we care because......?
I checked this out for reasons I still am unsure of. What I found was exactly what you've come to expect from Paris Hilton: Walking away wondering 'Why the hell did I pay attention to this girl?'
Confessions of an Heiress is occasionally witty, (no thanks to the ghostwriter who ACTUALLY wrote this: Do we really expect she penned this herself. yeah, right! That would inevitably interfere with her partying lifestyle!) but really odd in it's view of a lifestyle that maybe 5 people can actually relate to.
I got the sense that Paris really wanted to give the audience a sense that she has some depth behind the party girl...but my impression was the 'depth' had the quivalent of a bird bath in August! I really think she's good at being a 'party girl' and an Heiress, because she hasn't been raised any other way. And the lifestyle she describes? Well, let's just say those millions of hers will make some plastic surgeon VERY happy some day.
Overall, if you enjoy listening to a spoiled Rich Girl prattle on about her life, and you want to help give Paris the impression that she is actually EARNING money, they buy her book. Otherwise...it just wouldn't interest the average adult reader, and could border on insulting anyone who earns their own living.
