 Over-the-Top Funny! April 22, 2008
23 out of 28 found this review helpful
I picked this book up at Barnes and Noble, sat down and began to read. Started to laugh so hard that I bought the book and finished it at home, where I could laugh in private.
Chelsea Handler delivers this book with the dead-on hilarious precision of the stand-up comic that she is. Handler's strong voice shines throughout the book and it is almost impossible to put down.
The book is divided into chapters according to age. In "Blacklisted," you meet 9 year old Chelsea who is humiliated on a daily basis at school for her father's car. She invents a hilarious story that soon spirals out of control and the story is a delight.
In "Chelsea in Charge," Handler writes about her 12 year entrepreneurial spirit as a babysitter on Martha's Vineyard. What unfolds is unforgettable.
From "Re-Gift": "I promptly responded to the Evite, wrote something about having diarrhea later that night, and headed back to bed to rub one out with my vibrator."
From "Jumped": "I consider myself to be a very obnoxious person, but even I would never tell a guy that he has a small penis."
Handler is hilarious and Are Your There, Vodka, It's Me, Chelsea is a must-read for anyone who needs a good laugh.
By the author of the award winning book, Harmonious Environment: Beautify, Detoxify and Energize Your Life, Your Home and Your Planet.

I wish I could find a woman like her! You must get this book! and watch her show! I agree with the other reviwer on two things she can hang with the guys and Mr Instability is hilarious.

Chelsea, ranks up there with Silverman with a one of the guys kind of woman attitude. So men and woman should check this one out! My new favorite laugh out loud book is Mr Instability and this one may be right there with it!
 Very disappointed... July 16, 2008

Note to Kindle owners - download the first chapter of the book. If the first chapter makes you laugh then you may enjoy the book. If you're not laughing at that point it doesn't get much better.
I've just finished reading the book and it was one of the hardest times I've ever had finishing a book. Although there are a few laughs here and there, the book wasn't hilarious to say the least. You might laugh once and then wait another chapter or three before the next one comes along. I bought the book because of all of the "rave - laugh out loud" reviews I saw from other readers.
I didn't have a problem with the language, the off-color humor or any of the "offensive" things that were said in the book - it was just boring and not funny. What made it even worse is when some of the gags were used multiple times. For example in one story someone looks like they have Buckwheat in a leg-lock, a few chapters later someone looks like they have a clown in a leg-lock. Again, I was compelled to review this book because I couldn't believe so many people rated it 5-stars. I like her on TV, but the book was a snoozer.
Unreadable May 30, 2008

I love Chelsea and even went to her book signing, waited two hours and paid the full price for it. This book is unreadable. It is stupid, badly written, obviously very embellished, and kinda gross. I read Sedaris, Buroughs, and Lancaster. I mean this is my favorite genre, but she did not pull it off. You can tell she is trying so hard to be funny and get one liners in, that you get no connection to her. Bummer!
