Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me by Chelsea’s Family, Friends and Other Victims

So after reading two other Chelsea Handler books (Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea and My Horizontal Life), I fell in love with this sarcastic and crazy, funny blond with attitude.  I thought this book might give some insight as to why she is so funny and why people are drawn to her.  After reading this, I am wondering why any of these people continue to be her friend!

I was so turned off by this book that I only got ¾ of the way through it and gave up.  I never found the redeeming person that they swear she is.  I never found the ridiculously funny lady I met in the other books!  I know that this is supposed to be a bit of a roast but I still didn’t find any humor in the situations they discussed.  And, I was seriously wondering why I even picked up this book.  I’m beginning to feel like a bit of a “bad book picker” with this one.

Maybe I wasn’t in the mood for a comedy…even after all the tragedies we’ve been reading lately.  I just was not feeling the humor in this book.  I always liked Chelsea Handler and this book made her seem like a total jerk!  I’m going to pretend I didn’t read this and continue my love for her.

 

What did you think about this?

How did it rate in comparison with other CH books you’ve read?

What were the redeeming qualities of the book and main subject?

What did you hate/dislike about this book and its many stories?

How did you feel about CH before reading this book?  How do you feel about her now?
