Life doesn't get more hilarious than when Chelsea Handler takes aim with her irreverent wit. Who else would send all-staff emails to smoke out the dumbest people on her show? Now, in this new collection of original essays, the #1 bestselling author of Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea delivers one laugh-out-loud moment after another as she sets her sights on the ridiculous side of childhood, adulthood, and daughterhood. Family moments are fair game, whether it's writing a report on Reaganomics to earn a Cabbage Patch doll, or teaching her father social graces by ordering him to stay indoors. It's open season on her love life, from playing a prank on her boyfriend (using a ravioli, a fake autopsy, and the Santa Monica pier) to adopting a dog so she can snuggle with someone who doesn't talk. And everyone better duck for cover when her beach vacation turns into matchmaking gone wild. Outrageously funny and deliciously wicked, CHELSEA CHELSEA BANG BANG is good good good good! CHELSEA HANDLER ON... Being unpopular: "My parents couldn't have been more unreasonable when it came to fads or clothes that weren't purchased at a pharmacy." Living with her boyfriend: "He's similar to a large toddler, the only difference being he doesn't cry when he wakes up." Appreciating her brother: "He's a certified public accountant, and I have a real life." Arm-wrestling a maid of honor: "It wasn't her strength that intimidated me. It was the starry way her eyes focused on me, like Mike Tyson getting ready to feed."

 Least favorite Chelsea Handler book.Apr 23, 2010
By Sara S. Rines
I was very disappointed in the newest book by Chelsea Handler. I read "Are you there Vodka? It's me, Chelsea" and could not stop recommending it to anyone I knew enjoyed a laugh. Funniest book ever. "My Horizontal Life" was pretty funny as well, but this book made me cringe. The first chapter made me nauseated. The rest of the book consisted of emails between the writer and her siblings that weren't even amusing, just plain boring. The few stories that were thrown in had little humor, or point. It seemed she wrote it in a hurry, and didn't bother to check if her stories were up to par. Even the editor seemed lax--I found multiple errors throughout the book. It is a Chelsea Handler book, so that earned two stars right there, and there were a few moments that made me almost chuckle, earning another star. On the whole it was a very lazy attempt to get money out of existing fans. Mission accomplished, by 18 dollars is gone.

 A Quick, Fun Read!Apr 01, 2010
By tmb110

Chelsea Handler is hilarious. This is the type of book to read at the end of a long work day when you just need a laugh and a guilty pleasure.
In this, her third book, she added pictures of herself when she was little, family photos, and photos that went along with each story she was telling. It gave the reader a small insight into who these people are. I also really like her show so when she mentioned some of her roundtable guests in the book, I knew who she meant and loved having an "inside" story to some of them. As other people have posted, there were parts that made me laugh out loud.
I have recommended the book to friends and would highly recommend this to anyone who gets Chelsea's humor or just wants to have a great laugh.

Chelsea's best book!Mar 11, 2010
By L. Clements
Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang is Chelsea Handler's best book to date. And, if it is indeed her last book, then she's going out with a...bang bang. The best part of the book is that you feel like you are being let in on the joke and can feel good about yourself because she's not making fun of what an idiot YOU are - it's just everyone else, from fat-titted fathers to live-in boyfriends. Fans of Chelsea Lately will particularly like Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang, as it's sort of a behind-the-scenes/candid version of the show with the appearance of familiar characters (Brad Wollack isn't nearly as annoying in print!). It did make me want to lay in bed and eat cheeseburger Lean Pockets while watching Sex & the City... so if you're prone to that sort of lunacy, beware. But damn it if I don't love that hot mess of a woman even more than I already did. Good job, girl.

One word: HYSTERICAL!Mar 21, 2010
By Katie Olson
"Book Girl"
Yes, while it has been said that she can go on and on for an entire chapter about seemingly nothing.... it's absolutely, totally HYSTERICAL! I found myself laughing out loud so many times that it prompted my husband to read several of the chapters. If you watch her show, you can hear her voice in your head, which makes it all more funny. Overall, a great, easy, fun read.

Great read...wickedly funny...well short of a classicDec 04, 2010
By California Dancer
If you are going to be stranded on an island with only one book, this is not it. If you are in search of literary excellence, you will be disappointed. But, if you are like me, and read books for entertainment, then this book hits the spot like a Grand Slam breakfast at 1:00 in the morning after a hard night on the town.
I would put it a little below David Saderis from an intellectual standpoint, but well above the drunken misfits in Chelsea Goldstein's Hook-Up Chronicles. But, they are all good for a quiet night at the hot tub, or a welcome distraction when sitting around with the parents over the holidays, with nothing to do and nothing more to talk about.
In short, get it, enjoy it, and wait for the next one!
