A Quick, Fun Read!

Chelsea Handler is hilarious. This is the type of book to read at the end of a long work day when you just need a laugh and a guilty pleasure. In this, her third book, she added pictures of herself when she was little, family photos, and photos that went along with each story she was telling. It gave the reader a small insight into who these people are. I also really like her show so when she mentioned some of her roundtable guests in the book, I knew who she meant and loved having an "inside" story to some of them. As other people have posted, there were parts that made me laugh out loud. I have recommended the book to friends and would highly recommend this to anyone who gets Chelsea's humor or just wants to have a great laugh.

This book ends with a bang!

I think that this was Chelsea's best book yet! I was laughing so hard reading just the first few pages! Reading Chelsea's other books I knew what I was in for, but let me tell you this book went beyond. I actually felt like I was in on all of her jokes and my husband caught me quite a few times lauging to myself as I was reading. If you loved Chelsea's last books you will definetly love this one as well!

One word: HYSTERICAL!

Yes, while it has been said that she can go on and on for an entire chapter about seemingly nothing.... it's absolutely, totally HYSTERICAL! I found myself laughing out loud so many times that it prompted my husband to read several of the chapters. If you watch her show, you can hear her voice in your head, which makes it all more funny. Overall, a great, easy, fun read.

My favorite !!

Chelsea is absolutely hilarious! Her boyfriend Ted, her quick wit, spur of the moment pranks & tenderness for large people make this book my favorite of her 3 books. I was laughing consistently, out loud & sharing the stories with my husband because she is so freaking funny =) The relationship between Chelsea & Ted is the best. They are,in some aspects, opposite to the extreme. Somehow that is what makes it work - I truly enjoyed what Ted brought to the book. Chelsea wants to "help" her driver Sylvan in the love dept., so she decides to take him on vacation. This section of the book - I had to be near a bathroom I was laughing so hard, I thought I might pee. Felt the need to give the heads up =) There was one section regarding her father that brought me down a little, it just wasn't very funny. I appreciate her sharing it...she was on such a roll, so it caught me a little off guard. She includes a good bit of pictures, without the pics, the book wouldn't have been as funny. It was a nice addition! SO many great stories in this book, definately had to give it 5 stars!! It'll lighten your mood, I highly recommend it....great light read!

Chelsea's best book!

Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang is Chelsea Handler's best book to date. And, if it is indeed her last book, then she's going out with a...bang bang. The best part of the book is that you feel like you are being let in on the joke and can feel good about yourself because she's not making fun of what an idiot YOU are - it's just everyone else, from fat-titted fathers to live-in boyfriends. Fans of Chelsea Lately will particularly like Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang, as it's sort of a behind-the-scenes/candid version of the show with the appearance of familiar characters (Brad Wollack isn't nearly as annoying in print!). It did make me want to lay in bed and eat cheeseburger Lean Pockets while watching Sex & the City... so if you're prone to that sort of lunacy, beware. But damn it if I don't love that hot mess of a woman even more than I already did. Good job, girl.
