Chelsea rules!! August 27, 2008
I didn't even know who Chelsea Handler was and I thought her book was hilarious!! I finished it in 2 days without even trying. Great humor for forty-something women who are not afraid of admitting all of the stupid, funny, embarrassing things that have happened in life and have friends that accept you for just that. I praise her honesty.
 Disappointing August 25, 2008

I watch Handler's show from time to time, and I find her to be funny and entertaining, which is why I bought this book. I unfortunately I found it to be neither.
She's all over the place, skipping around, throwing out random scenarios, with nothing to tie them together. And then the book ends just as randomly.
It seemed like she was trying to hard too be funny. The situations should be funny, but the writing is just so poor, and the stories are just plain wierd. They have the feel of not-quite-fiction but not-quite-fact. It's not that I was offended by her humor, or crassness, I just don't think she pulled it off the jokes in this book. Its poorly delivered.
Please keep in mind, I was not looking for fine literature or well-developed prose. I just wanted some cheap laughs. I might have laughed twice.
I am honeslty surprised someone published this book.
Save your money, don't buy it.
 eh, it was okay August 25, 2008
This book had some definitely funny parts, but more often than not, it was just "okay".
 Oh Vodka, where art thou? August 24, 2008
This is one of the funniest, if not the funniest books I have read in years. I literally read it in a day. I had to stop myself and go do something else to make the book "last longer". Chelsea has a way of writing that makes you feel like she's a good friend sitting there telling you a story over a nice glass of vodka.
Funniest Book EVER August 21, 2008
In a world of chaos, this book provides fabulous comic relief. I don't watch Chelsea's show and this was the first book I read that she wrote. I actually fell of the couch reading it. I am passing it along to each of my friends so that they can enjoy Chelsea's witty writing. I loved it so much, I went out immediately and purchased Chelsea's other book! I have read the first chapter and it is equally as funny as Are YOU THERE, Vodka. If you have the extra $15 do not pass up the opportunity to buy and read this book.....
