Review: unprofessional, repetitive, gossipy, but definitely has "the goods" on the real Kate Gosselin

I have mixed feelings here. This book has a lot of problems. There are spelling errors, it's just unprofessional and a little ironic considering how the author calls Kate out on her spelling errors. Also, grammar errors. Worse than that, there is repetition of the exact same sentence, quotes or sometimes whole anecdotes. Sometimes the exact representation is only a few pages apart. One time the same sentence was repeated immediately. Also, there is no way this book should have been 700+ pages. It's padded greatly with things like menus running on for pages, legal agreements, Pennsylvania statutes, and worst of all, whole sections where Kate's every move is documented. I mean EVERY MOVE, like going to Target, the UPS store, again and again. There has to be 100 pages of that at least. The book is not well-organized. It's definitely not chronological but not separated by theme either (although over the course of the book your mind will definitely absorb the main themes). Also, I find it a little hypocritical that he blames Kate for speeding and breaking laws when it's clear he's chasing her in his car. She's endangering the kids- well he is too, since she is trying to get away from him! Now despite all this, I did not return the book. Why? Because firstly, I believe all his facts, they just gel too well with what I already know. He's convinced me that she's even worse than I thought. He's got info in here that is the juiciest of the juicy gossip, and beyond that, it's just disturbing and chilling. Kate definitely has a narcissistic personality disorder. So in short, despite the flaws, it's the ultimate book in anti-Kate facts. She's even worse than I imagined.
