We all know that Chelsea Handler is a compulsive liar with delirious of big boobs. Why write her lies when she could have written much better herself? Seriously, everybody wants to make money with a book now?Don't waste your time reading it. I gave it two stars because Chelsea wrote the intro and

I love Chelsea Handler. She is one of the funniest authors I've ever had the pleasure to read. Unfortunately, this book was written by her friends, and not Chelsea Handler, so it wasn't nearly as funny. I wouldn't say it's bad, but it's not non-stop, laugh out loud like her own books. I think what
This is a book that I wouldn't warn people against reading, but I wouldn't urge them to either.

really killed it for me was the repeated stories. If you've read any of her other books you'll have to read some of the same stories here. This is a book that I wouldn't warn people against reading, but I wouldn't urge them to either.

No surprise, but Chelsea's friends are also funny...and the lies she tells are hysterical! I'm surprised her friends/family believes ANYTHING she says, but I'd take her crap too if it meant I got to go to the Bahamas or Mexico or anywhere and drink vodka with Chelsea.

Probably not the first book of hers that I should have read. I found it interesting, but I think she would be someone who would be hard to be a friend with, if these stories are true. I found the book to be funny and why i gave it the 3 stars.

Enjoyed it more than her last book. A series of chapters by family, coworkers, friends that depict the pranks pulled on them by Chelsea. There were a few funny ones in there.

Fun book to read if your familiar with Chelsea Handler at all. This is a series of short chapters told by her friends, family and co-workers on pranks and flat out lies that she has told them. Telling one of her co-worker/friends that she is pregnant and letting the joke go on for a while. Nearly

ruining one of her co-workers honeymoon by telling him that they are doing a feature photo article about the writers while he's gone. Responding to a corporate e-mail and asking the man to spitball some ideas about what's going on in the middle east at the time. These are a few of the things that she has done which are discussed in the book. Show Less

Holy canoles, this is hilarious. The bit with the gynecologist is my favorite.
I am really glad I am not friends with Chelsea Handler. She would make me cry.
