Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang

More BANG BANG for your Buck!
CHELSEA CHELSEA BANG BANG is another great collection of stories from the hilarious Chelsea Handler. I brought it on vacation with me and enjoyed the light and easy poolside and beachside reading. I laughed out loud from her viewpoint of " Sex and the City " and many of her other quirky, sarcastic observations.Chelsea is at her best when talking about the weird predicaments that she finds herself in, whether at work, in her social life, or with her family members. Her stories aren't as fun, though, when she's in her "Girls Behaving Badly" role of playing jokes on people. The funniest moments happen when strange things just happen to you. Case in point, Chelsea playing a trick on her boyfriend (Ted Harbert, president and CEO of the Comcast Entertainment Group). Pretending that she accidentally killed a friend's dog wasn't great; it was just okay, mainly because it was a set-up.On the other hand, when she focuses on the idiosyncracies of her father in a couple of tales, it's more humorous because the situation is out of her control. However, I was disappointed that not once did she refer to her father as "b*tch t*ts" like she did in Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea . I assumed that was her siblings' ongoing nickname for him...but maybe not?Unfortunately, although a not-to-miss book for Chelsea fans, like her last book, I was waiting for a central theme to the stories to tie them all together. It never came, and neither did any background for the title of the book. I thought for sure it came from a wacky story, but maybe it's just an inside joke that us readers aren't in on.

and a lot of fun to read
Chelsea Handler has once again compiled a book of personal essays about her family, friends and love life...and it is hysterical! Her stories are so outrageous that one would think she's making them up and maybe she is, but I don't care!From the first chapter where Chelsea talks about her childhood and the first time she gets “the feeling” I was crying with laughter. She tells stories about her father, her boyfriend who she likes to play pranks on, and how one time she helped wheel a woman passed out on a chaise lounge up to a hotel room. These stories are just too good to be true.Chelsea really knows how to write towards her audience. She is witty, hilarious, and just plain fun to read. There is not a set plot line, so the reader can jump from chapter to chapter without missing anything important. She has also included hilarious photos that were taken during these times, which helps prove that these stories are somewhat true!I've read this book several times and each time I laugh just as hard as the last. I would recommend this book to anyone who knows of Chelsea Handler, doesn't mind a little vulgarity (and by little I mean a lot), and adult humor.

My favorite !!
Chelsea is absolutely hilarious! Her boyfriend Ted, her quick wit, spur of the moment pranks & tenderness for large people make this book my favorite of her 3 books. I was laughing consistently, out loud & sharing the stories with my husband because she is so freaking funny =) The relationship between Chelsea & Ted is the best. They are,in some aspects, opposite to the extreme. Somehow that is what makes it work - I truly enjoyed what Ted brought to the book.Chelsea wants to "help" her driver Sylvan in the love dept., so she decides to take him on vacation. This section of the book - I had to be near a bathroom I was laughing so hard, I thought I might pee. Felt the need to give the heads up =)There was one section regarding her father that brought me down a little, it just wasn't very funny. I appreciate her sharing it...she was on such a roll, so it caught me a little off guard. She includes a good bit of pictures, without the pics, the book wouldn't have been as funny. It was a nice addition! SO many great stories in this book, definately had to give it 5 stars!! It'll lighten your mood, I highly recommend it....great light read!

If you're the kind of person who can't get enough of Chelsea Handler....
...this book is a great way to spend a few more hours with her.A big fan of her show, this is the first of her books that I've read. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but after a few pages, I realized I was simply hearing more of her material that is more detailed and polished, and in some cases a glimpse into her personal life.It's not, nor does it pretend to be, liter-ah-ture. These are sketches from her life embellished with her own ribald brand of wit.I tend to be a prude on the subject of substance abuse, but the predicaments and complications that result from the flagrant use of alcohol, pills and mushrooms are so distressing that there couldn't be a better "warning" of the hazards of unbridled use than what we find on the pages of this book.Alternately between self-deprecating and devilish, Chelsea Handler had me laughing out loud and trying to get anyone within earshot to hurry and read the book so we could all laugh together.

Another HILARIOUS effort from Chelsea Handler
Let me start off by saying i dont really like how people who are obviously not fans of chelsea handler decide to read her book and actually have the nerve to come on here and write a bad review about it...if you dont like her as a person,then obviously you won't like what she writes.Okay,now on to the book...i thought this book was as hilarious as her other book Are you there Vodka,It's me Chelsea?I wasn't too big of a fan of My Horizontal Life(although it was entertaining,just not as funny)but her latest two books are the perfect recipe for a laugh out loud experience. Unlike her last book(are you there vodka)this one didnt necessarily have funny stories but HILARIOUS dialogue(Are you there Vodka had funnier stories and less funny dialogue).But either way i LOVED this book,my goal in reading this book was to have many opportunities to laugh out loud and i did. So if you're a Chelsea Handler fan then you'll love this book.And if you're not that big of a fan but still find her sense of humor funny then you'll probably love it as well.Thanx Chelsea for a HILARIOUS ride through your crazy,spontaneous,and entertaining life!!!
