Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang

Hola! Yesterday I finished reading the newest book by Chelsea Handler, Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang.

Title: Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang
Author: Chelsea Handler
Genre: Memoir, Humor
Summary (from dustjacket): 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!
Review: I felt that Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang was a little too similar to Vodka. I knew that it was the same formating of Vodka, but I guess I was just expecting a different experience.  I felt like there wasn't anything really different about the quality of writing.  Don't get me wrong, I did like the book.   Quite a few parts were laugh out loud funny.  I also think that Chelsea Handler is much funnier in person because she's talking and thinking of the top of her head.  Books don't really have the same sense of quick and cruel humor.  Sorry this review is so short but those are my feelings in a nutshell.  Also, I like Chelsea Handler so I am being very lenient with my grade.  Plus, the book is worth reading if you want a very non serious book to read.
Grade: B

P.S. I have a suprise to tell you! Stay tuned!
