This review refers to the audiobook version of this book

Long story short? Kathy Griffin is absolutely hilarious. I’ve been a fan for years and always DVR My Life on the D-List. She’s a nut, plain and simple. After I joined Audible, this was my first purchase and download because I couldn’t wait to hear the book.

Kathy is a superb storyteller and her narration of the book puts the icing on the cake. She chronicles her life and career from the beginning, even including the painful memories of her brother, Kenny. One of the best parts in Kathy’s book and life is her mother, Maggie. Maggie (who just released her own book!) is hilarious and just adds to Kathy’s comedy black book.

Kathy has knocked down barriers and clawed her way to… Well, the D-List. But it’s better than the F-List, right? Eh, anyways. She’s a strong advocate for gay rights and marriage and frequently gives shout-outs to “her gays”. She tells stories from her time with Groundlings, Seinfeld, Ellen and Suddenly Susan that will make you laugh out loud. I’m sure my husband thinks I’m nuts because I busted out with laughter while I was washing dishes and listening to my iPod. Yea, she’s hilarious and I’d listen to this again… and again… and again.

Overall opinion: This is a must read. Official Book Club Selection will keep you laughing from the start to finish and just proves that Kathy should be on the A-List. Dear Kathy, I love you. Sincerely, Maggie.
