 One of the funniest people in America April 17, 2008

I actually bought this book for my wife, since she had enjoyed Chelsea Handler's previous book, "My Horizontal Life." When the book arrived yesterday, I picked it up to peruse it and I couldn't put it down. This book is laugh-out-loud funny. The book contains stories from the author's life from around the age of 9 through adulthood that are funny from the perspective of men and women alike. As should be clear from the title, this book isn't for kids and the content can be pretty racy. If you aren't easily offended, however, it will probably be the most humorous book you read this year. I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could.
So hilarious! Couldn't put it down. April 28, 2008

All I can say is buy this book!!! I was reading it on my flight home yesterday and was laughing SO hard that people were staring at me...but I couldn't help it. Chelsea is just that funny! Her writing about her parents is the best. And as a redheaded woman, I agree with her about reheaded men from my own experience. I try to avoid them too. Plus, she's way funnier than that crazy Manc, Karl Pilkington.
When is the next one coming out, Chelsea?

Let me first be clear that I love Chelsea Handler. I DVR her show every night, I've even been to a taping in her studio and I even have tickets to her upcoming standup appearance.
Her first book was hilarious, but this one just misses the mark. Yes, there were a handful of times that I burst out laughing - she is a brilliant comedian. But the book is extremely disjointed and it was a struggle to see it through to the end. Was she just trying to fill up space? And why is Chuey all over the cover (my guess - to sell books) he's not mentioned once in the book (except for in the Acknowledgements).
I really can't figure out if she tried too hard, or didn't try hard enough.
Blah...I recommend saving your money. Sorry Chels...

This is a laugh-out-loud book, great for the beach, not so good for a plane where your laughing will wake babies and make the other passengers jealous they don't have a copy. I got mine for my Kindle and I read it in one sitting. Seriously, pretty freaking funny.

I am very much familiar with Handler's humor and I watch her late night shows fairly regularly. Some of her jokes are borderline tasteless but I find them funny, nonetheless.
Unfortunately, IMO, her humor doesn't translate well in a book. The best way I can describe this book is that it's like watching one of those Wayans Brother's movies; it's marketed as a comedy but you ended up laughing the first few scenes and disgusted with the rest or leaving at the middle of the screening.
The book is just one far-fetched story after another and while funny on few parts...the rest are just...well...stupid....not even remotely funny.
I urge everyone to avoid this garbage. Seeing this novel garner so much positive reviews made me lose a lot of confidence on Amazon's rating system.
