By Chelsea Handler
“I was nine years old and walking myself to school one morning when I heard the unfamiliar sound of a prepubescent boy calling my name. I had heard my nape spoken out loud by males before, but it was most often by one of my brothers, my father, or a teacher, and it was usually followed up with a shot to the side of the head.”
I have caught a few Chelsea Lately talk shows. I have found her to be sarcastic and very funny. This book did not disappoint me. Her foul language – and possibly mean behavior – described in her book makes it a very humorous read. Sometimes I wish I could be so outspoken. There were moments I found myself laughing out loud – like when she speaks of her love of “nuggets” and her ex-boyfriend who actually let a dog lick his private parts.
At some points, I could relate to what she was going through. I just wish I had acted (or reacted) in the manner she did. Not so much about the Ex and Dog incident but more along the lines of not going to a birthday party with a compulsive liar. Handler has a knack for expressing her thoughts and wild imagination. That’s something I’d really like to tap into. J
I wouldn’t recommend this for everyone since it’s not suited for all audiences. BUT if you have a sick sense of humor or are a fan of Chelsea’s then this is definitely a book to be read.
