Helpful Score: 4
Far and away my least favorite of Ellen's three books. I rarely laughed while reading it, which I did a lot with the others. The only chapter I thought was really inspired was her letter to mall security, explaining how she broke a vase and why she stole a Segway. If you really need your fill of Ellen, this will do, but come to it only after The Funny Thing Is... and My Point...and I Do Have One. I liked this one enough that I don't mind having swapped for it, but not enough to keep it. If you read this expecting something as funny as her show or her other books, you may be disappointed.

I couldn't get into this audio book, I've never had an audio book so maybe it's just me, I probably better just get the actual book, this seemed to be kind of dull and the 'funny' stuff just didn't seem to fit right so I actually didn't find anything funny.
Not trying to be negative about her book because I love Ellen but just listening without the actual audience reaction it just doesn't seem quite real or something.

I'm not a talk show watcher, so I've only occasionally seen Ellen's show, but I was a fan of hers when she had her sitcom. I've always loved her because she is hilarious and she has the ability to make you laugh regardless of what she is talking about.
I love this book because she talks about whatever seemed to have popped in her head at the moment she was writing. There is no rhyme or reason, it doesn't follow logically, and she has a tendency to go off on a tangent. Still, it's funny. Have you ever laid awake at night and had something just pop in your head that made you wonder. Yep..this is that book. This is your brain before going to sleep at night. Well..maybe not your brain, but it's my brain.
If your looking for any as semblance of order or your not a fan of chaos I suggest you skip this book.

You can get a real taste of her humor from reading this book. I am looking forward to reading her others.

For me personally, it was not enjoyable to read. I love Ellen but her sarcasm was too over the top.
