Are You There Vodka, It's Me Chelsea?

Comedian turned talk show host turned author, Chelsea Handler, has always been a favorite of mine. Whether its my addiction to her late night talk show Chelsea Lately or her stand up, I am a fan. And I have finally joined the club in reading her books. I started with Are You There Vodka, It's Me Chelsea?. I haven't finished it yet but so far I am loving it.

BASICS:
First, each chapter is a different story
She writes about adult things - sex, drugs, lots of cursing, etc
Her books are very similar to her stand up

THINGS I LOVE:
In every chapter you can hear her voice telling you the story
Every chapter is funny - most I actually laughed out loud
AWDASH - A very funny moment in the chapter Prison Break
You can skip a chapter (or in my case accidentally miss a chapter) & it still makes sense

THINGS I'M NOT CRAZY ABOUT:
Some of the chapters are a little long but they are entertaining so they go quickly

OVERALL RATING:
i WOULD recommend this to a friend (& have)
4 out of 5
Would make a good coffee table book to read a random chapter out of after you have read them all

HER COMEDY TOUR (the Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang Tour) tickets can be found on Live Nation - my boyfriend & I went & I was surprised to see that even he enjoyed himself. It was very funny.
HER SHOW - CHELSEA LATELY Weeknights on E! at 9pm - and about ever 1/2 hour after 10pm I believe
Girls Behaving Badly - Volume OneShe was also on Girls Behaving Badly
