I do like Chelsea Handler. I think she's funny. This had it's moments. Laugh out loud hilarious moments. Then there were the moments I thought to myself, how shallow is she? I appreciated how open she is, but at the same time, I thought she was very judgmental at others times too. Was disappointed that this audiobook is NOT narrated by the author.

I will start this review off by saying that I have a love/hate relationship with Chelsea Handler. I agree with her on many things and think she can be hilarious, but I also don't like mean or offensive humor, which is kind of her thing. For the most part, this was a very humorous book. If you are a fan of Handler, you will probably like this book. If you don't like Handler, you probably won't like this book. It's pretty simple. Really there were only two parts that I really didn't like: the rape jokes/comments and the entire chapter recounting Kimmy's visit. Handler is pretty well-known for her "love" of little people, so I wasn't surprised by anything she said, but to me the jokes were still derogatory and harmful. A quick and funny book. It was a good buy considering it was a dollar at Goodwill.

I could not finish this audio. I listened to over 2 hours of it and I had enough. I was hoping for something funny to listen to as I walked my cat outside but what I really found was someone who liked to pick on other people constantly. Sometimes I wondered if the only reason they put up with it was because of who Chelsea was or because she was related to them but really seriously enough is enough. Then I got thinking, how old are we? I can understand a prank now and then but after listening to these individuals talk about Chelsea, she is a constant prankster and the sky is the limit. For me, this book was just too much. Moving on….
