Product Description
THE EAGERLY AWAITED COLLECTION OF PERSONAL ESSAYS FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MY HORIZONTAL LIFEWhen 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.

 Laughing so hard I couldn't see through my tears! July 17, 2008
This book is hilarious! At one point, when Chelsea feels ready to fight random girls because she has been taking a kick boxing class, I was laughing so hard I could not see through the tears and my family thought that I had lost my mind. She is hysterical!
I'm still laughing! July 17, 2008
This was hysterical. I couldn't put it down and now I'm upset I'm done with it. I'll be keeping this to read again...I can't pass this one along. I thought she was so funny that I just bought her other book.
 Very disappointed... July 16, 2008

Note to Kindle owners - download the first chapter of the book. If the first chapter makes you laugh then you may enjoy the book. If you're not laughing at that point it doesn't get much better.
I've just finished reading the book and it was one of the hardest times I've ever had finishing a book. Although there are a few laughs here and there, the book wasn't hilarious to say the least. You might laugh once and then wait another chapter or three before the next one comes along. I bought the book because of all of the "rave - laugh out loud" reviews I saw from other readers.
I didn't have a problem with the language, the off-color humor or any of the "offensive" things that were said in the book - it was just boring and not funny. What made it even worse is when some of the gags were used multiple times. For example in one story someone looks like they have Buckwheat in a leg-lock, a few chapters later someone looks like they have a clown in a leg-lock. Again, I was compelled to review this book because I couldn't believe so many people rated it 5-stars. I like her on TV, but the book was a snoozer.
Entertaining and Funny as hell! July 14, 2008
I just finished reading this book and I thought it was GREAT!!! I love Chelsea Handler.. I just ordered her other book because this one was so much fun!.. Def recommend this to anyone who wants a good laugh.
love Chelsea Handler July 14, 2008
This book was a great read. It left me laughing all the time. She is so entertaining that you just can't put the book down. I love her as a comedian and now as a writer. I am buying her first book because of this one. I am excited to read it as well. I absolutely loved loved loved this book and recomend it to anyone with a sense of humor.
