I’ve just
finished reading Ellen DeGeneres’ latest book called ‘Seriously…
I’m Kidding!’ Now I love Ellen. She is uber hilarious in her daytime
show therefore I had high hopes for her book but sadly I have to say it was a
(BIG!) disappointment. I mean there were parts where I was LOL-ling but it wasn't long when I start to drift off. I wasn’t captivated by the book and I
feel like I had to point this out, the book doesn’t have any direction! It’s
like really really ADHD person talking, maybe she is?! She goes from this topic
to the next and most of the time they either don’t make sense or you don’t find
it funny. You know the saying “It’s the journey that matters most not the
destination” yeah well the journey of this book was long and dreading while the
destination is a big relief that I can finally close this book and never open it
again. Sorry Ellen, I still love you but not your book. I suppose if you want
to try this I would suggest you to get the audiobook instead, it probably will
be more bearable.
Another humor
book I read, I think back in December 2011, is Chelsea Handler’s “My horizontal life” I know the
title might be a little out there but this is her autobiography. If you don’t
know who Chelsea Handler is, she is also a stand-up comedian with her own show
“Chelsea Lately” She is extremely funny in her shows and surprisingly in her
book as well. I enjoyed reading her book. She makes no apologies in saying
what’s on her mind even if it might offend people and most of the time her
comments are hilarious. Unlike Ellen’s book this one does have a direction
obviously because it is her autobiography but I have to say it was a fun ride
reading this book. I would suggest this over Ellen’s book.
Now I understand
that their humors are different. Chelsea
Anyways, that’s
all for the two books.
See you in my
next update!
Ciao,
