THE EAGERLY AWAITED COLLECTION OF PERSONAL ESSAYS FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MY HORIZONTAL LIFE
When Chelsea Handler needs to get a few things off her chest, she appeals to a higher power -- vodka. You would too if you found out that your boyfriend was having an affair with a Peekapoo or if you had to pretend to be honeymooning with your father in order to upgrade to first class. Welcome to Chelsea's world -- a place where absurdity reigns supreme and a quick wit is the best line of defense.
In this hilarious, deliciously skewed collection, Chelsea mines her past for stories about her family, relationships, and career that are at once singular and ridiculous. Whether she's convincing her third-grade class that she has been tapped to play Goldie Hawn's daughter in the sequel to Private Benjamin, deciding to be more egalitarian by dating a redhead, or looking out for a foulmouthed, rum-swilling little person who looks just like her...only smaller, Chelsea has a knack for getting herself into the most outrageous situations. Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea showcases the candor and irresistible turns of phrase that have made her one of the freshest voices in comedy today.
Review Summary: Warning....Don't read any part of this book if you are afraid of laughing so hard you wet your pants....as I did.
Date: 2008-11-30
Details: My wife enjoys her TV show so I bought the Kindle version for her and later heard her squealing laughter in the other room while she was reading it. I wondered what the big deal was so upon waking up Saturday morning, I grabbed the Kindle and started reading before taking my morning bathroom break. OOPS, thanks a lot Chelsea. Your book is hilarious but your description of you being strip searched put me in hot....I should say warm water. The "Alfalfa in a leg lock" quote was the culprit. Keep up the good work.
