Customer Reviews

Disappointing

I was really looking forward to having a good laugh with this book, all the reviews say that it's hilarious. Unfortunately I was left disappointed. I could only get through the first 3 chapters before giving up. All the personal stories she shares are greatly exaggerated to the point where I am left questioning the validity of it rather than just enjoying it as entertainment.

One of the best books I've ever read!

After reading Chelsea's first book "My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands" I could not wait to read this one. I truly loved her first book, but she really outdone herself with this one. I laughed out loud at least twenty times while reading it. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a good laugh. Chelsea Handler is not only a great comedian, but a wonderful author! I hope she writes another book soon. I will be first in line to buy it!!!

I laughed a LOt

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.

So hilarious! Couldn't put it down.

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?

Over-the-Top Funny!

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.

One of the funniest people in America

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.
