Product Description
THE EAGERLY AWAITED COLLECTION OF PERSONAL ESSAYS FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MY HORIZONTAL LIFEWhen Chelsea Handler needs to get a few things off her chest, she appeals to a higher power -- vodka. You would too if you found out that your boyfriend was having an affair with a Peekapoo or if you had to pretend to be honeymooning with your father in order to upgrade to first class. Welcome to Chelsea's world -- a place where absurdity reigns supreme and a quick wit is the best line of defense. In this hilarious, deliciously skewed collection, Chelsea mines her past for stories about her family, relationships, and career that are at once singular and ridiculous. Whether she's convincing her third-grade class that she has been tapped to play Goldie Hawn's daughter in the sequel to Private Benjamin, deciding to be more egalitarian by dating a redhead, or looking out for a foulmouthed, rum-swilling little person who looks just like her...only smaller, Chelsea has a knack for getting herself into the most outrageous situations. Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea showcases the candor and irresistible turns of phrase that have made her one of the freshest voices in comedy today.

 Fun, was too short! March 11, 2010
AML (North Hills, CA United States)
I loved the book. It was light and funny. My only complaint is that it was short book and I zipped thru it in no time.
 Horrible. March 7, 2010

The book was in good shape, but it took 3 weeks to get this book. It said it would be shipped within 24 hours, and it obviously wasn't. I ordered it for a book club, and I received it the day we had the book club meeting (when I was supposed to have already have it read). I am incredibly disappointed.

Too funny. Laughing out loud, comes easy with this book. It is a great gift for someone that needs to laugh!

Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea is written by Chelsea Handler, who is an American stand-up comedian and host of her own show, Chelsea Lately. In her hilarious memoir Chelsea talks about her childhood, her family, her friends, drinking and men. She discusses a few funny predicaments she's gotten herself into, like when she was in the third grade and told her classmates that she was working on a film with Goldie Hawn to impress them. Or how when she was fish-sitting her boyfriends goldfish and it died while he was away, she replaced the fish with a bigger one and told him it grew due to the vitamin supplements she was feeding it. She talks about her DWI arrest and the time she served in jail, which is definitely not funny, but her observations when she was in jail had me laughing out loud. There was also a part where she discusses the male anatomy that had me in hysterics, I cried from laughing so hard.
This book started off really funny, it had me in stitches, but then it fizzled toward the middle and kind of died out for me. Chelsea has a sarcastic humor that is great, but sadly, the book slowed down and the big laughs were mostly in the first half.
All in all, this was a funny book and i'm glad I read it. I just wish she had kept the momentum going and gave me one final laugh.
The most worthless book puchase i have ever made. February 23, 2010

I bought this for half off at Best Buy on Impulse.
I thought, i like here. She is funny.
What i received are a bunch of disjointed unfunny vignettes that bored my to tears.
Amazing i made it through the whole thing.
It AIN'T funny. It's not tied together by any theme.
It's just about the laziest book imaginable, really a series of puffed up experiences having nothing to do with anything, including my life or viewpoint.
And again, NOT FUNNY, which is just a failure from such a funny lady (i use the term Lady loosely).
