Funny, hilarious and charming, just like Elen herself. Although there were some off moments here and there, this book was still entertaining. Elen shared her views and tips about life in general, from being happy to mastering the art of gift giving. And of course she did that in her unique funny way. I think the audiobook will be better because I can imagine easily how Elen would read her words. I am interested in listening to the audio version.
This was light-hearted and fun, but not as fun as I expected it to be in audio form. I think this may be one case of a celebrity memoir that's better in written form; I felt like she read it a bit too fast, like she was reading, instead of like she was talking. None of which is to say I don't love Ellen DeGeneres, because I think she's one of the world's most wonderful human beings, and I wouldn't say the book isn't fun/funny. Maybe it's just better in written form.

This was the first book of Ellen's that I've read (errr, listened to?) and I'm kinda disappointed. Like so many others, I love Ellen---I love her show, I love her stand up... but this was silly, mixed with insightful, mixed with silly. I am sad to say I didn't really find it funny, though there were parts during which I chuckled. I'm pretty sure I have a case of undiagnosed ADD, but a one word chapter in audio book is kinda annoying. A recreation of the Finding Nemo scene where Dory talks to the

That was a fun read. I could hear Ellen's voice through the whole thing (not through hidden speakers), and I could even hear the pause for laughter.

funny. lots of really great insight interspersed with some bits of genuine humor (not degrading or anything). fun for the whole family! :)
Very quick read. Each chapter was a lot like the stand-up routines she does at the beginning of each show.
eh, not too good. This seems like a "i need a book because my publisher says so" book.

One liners. Not a book like I was expecting.
There were some funny parts of this book, but mostly it was filler. The font was huge, and a lot of it was just stream of consciousness, much like I would write if I just couldn't think of anything real to write about. I still love Ellen, and her charming personality comes through in this book, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Just my type of humor! I LOLed multiple times. It should be noted that many people don't enjoy my style of humor.

I love Ellen, so of course I enjoyed this one.
