Summary: Funny Book For DeGeneras Fans
Comment: I picked this up not really familiar with Ellen's comedy, but I was truly a fan after reading it. It was so amusing by Ellen's querky personality and wonderful offbeat humor. She has a wonderful way of putting things that never failed to crack me up. Like most comedy books though, I must admit that I would probably find all of the material far more humorous and enjoyable if I saw a preformance; Ellen, like other comedians, is great in her field but no writer--her routine loses a bit of humor when transferred to paper. It is still an enjoyable book and laugh-at-able read. Recommended for the fans of Kate Clinton (and Kate Clinton recommended for those who become fans of this book.)

Summary: For true Ellen fans only!
Comment: The key to enjoying this book is very simple. If you understand Ellen's sense of humor you will love this book. It's that simple. Many readers just do not seem to understand this. Of course this book rambles, and doesn't have a plot. That's the entire point! Anyone who knows Ellen's sense of humor knows that her wacky, rambling, self-deprecating style is what makes her who she is. This book is splittingly funny, but I can guarantee that someone who isn't a major Ellen fan may have some problems. For fans of Ellen De Generes and her stand-up comedy (I have been a fan of hers for 15 years), this book is a delight. I am still waiting for her next book. This book is so funny, it will make you cry! HOWEVER! If you find yourself complaining about the style or plot, then Ellen's humor just isn't for you!

Summary: Not as funny as I thought
Comment: I love Ellen DeGeneres as an actor and a comedienne. When I read this book, whilst I found some parts of it amusing, I have to say it wasn't as funny as I expected. Part of my disappointment was that this book was written before Ellen came out and when I read it, I can see she is holding back. There are a couple of references to relationships with men that just don't ring true. It's worth a read, but I don't think it's the funniest thing I have read.
