by Ellen DeGeneres
..this wasn't so funny as I expected. It has the usual Ellen jokes,but...ahh it just wasn't the same as her most recent book. And y'all know how much I liked that one! I listened to this to maximize the experience, though I didn't find her tone to be as casual as I am used to. And that ruined it...
Abandoned with 20 minutes to go...I just couldn't listen to this anymore. I used to like Ellen, but now I just think she's irritating and trying too hard (and failing) to be funny. Okay, I still think she's cool, but I just won't read any of her books.
A funny book filled with silly stories. I will admit watching Ellen DeGeneres is funnier than reading her work, because of her timing and body language, but this book is still quite humorous.

Listening to this one in audio form certainly made it more entertaining than reading, if Ellen's recent book is any indication. However, it was the same format as her newest--random things compiled into a short book. This book actually contained more personal information but it was limited. It had m...
Not quite what I expected, but I do love Ellen! She should just stick to stand up.
This was not as funny as I thought it would be, especially with the title and written by Ellen. I love her. But I guess her comedy it just not as funny as some of the other comedians I enjoy. Don't get me wrong, I laughed a couple times, but I really thought I'd be laughing more than I was. Hmm. Oh ...
I went into this mistakenly thinking it was a biography but what it amounts to is stand-up comedy in the written form. While bits of it were cute most of the book wasn't particularly funny and it often seemed to just ramble on. I did learn that Ellen eats veal (ugh, but I think she's veg now) and th...
