My Point...And I Do Have One

Rating:
Summary: Ellen Degeneres is a comedian-in fifth grade humor.
Review: Yes, Ellen Degeneres is a very funny lady. But no, her book is not. Although, My Point And I Do Have One was her second, the write has not improved. I personally do watch her show and enjoy every moment, but as far as her book-I was not impressed. I do, however, plan to read more of her books in the future. I hope the prove her comic ability as how I see on television.

Summary: This is the funniest thing ever written...EVER!
Review: All I can say is that this woman has to be one of the funniest people, if not THE funniest. I read this book while sitting in an empty classroom, by myself, during my lunch break and I was laughing out load. So loud, in fact, that the teacher from the class next door came over to see what was going on. When she saw I was by myself she gave me a look that clearly meant "You are a big big freak." I would give anything to see Ellen in person and I wish I knew where to write to her.

Summary: I didn't want it to end!!
Review: Ellen...she's got talent! she's simply brilliant!. The book is extremely funny, and very easy to read.If English is not your first language, don't be afraid!, that's my case and I didn't laugh any less than others. It's great when people comes to you to see what's going on, why you're laughing that much...I agree with that someone who said this is a book you're wanting so much to share, but you're scared with the idea of it being "kidnapped"!!...so buy it!! the only disappointment you can get from the book, is that it ends!! (but you can always re-read it!)

Summary: A must buy for any humor loving reader.
Review: Ellen has a new and refreshing way of writing books. There wasn't one page that I didn't laugh while reading, but it was the subtle and easy-going manner that really got my attention. If you like a good laugh you simply can't miss this book.

Summary: I wanted more than laughs from this woman
Review: I enjoyed Ellen's sense of humour but I wanted to find out more about her and her life and her partner and coming out and all the stuff she has been through because she is gay. How to survive in the entertainment industry not being yourself and then having to reveal it. The content of the book was terrific and she tells a very good story. Overall the book was entertaining and yes very funny but what about the rest

Rating:
Summary: Hilarious, that is about it, Just simply hilarious
Review: I would have to agree with one of the previous people who read this book and say, that you just have to imagine Ellen talking while you are reading the book. Imagine her facial expressions and the way she tries to make you feel she is unsure of herself when she is talking but she is really hitting the point home. By the way, great job hosting the Grammies, you stole the show. I hope they let you host it again next year

Summary: Tremendously Funny Comedy Book
Review: This book, written by the highly successful comedian, Ellen Degeneres, is not written as a auto-biography, nor is it written to show her personal philosophy of the universe, although this does shine through in parts of the book, no this book is straight out comedy. It is the funniest book that I have ever read, and I read books all the time. I have been a fan of Ellen's since her sitcom debuted on TV. I have been entertained by her sense of humor, her stand up, and this book is just a logical step in her career. The book is a written testament to this woman's creative talent, as well as her phenominal sense of humor. This book will have you rolling on the floor with laughter. I highly reccomend it!

Summary: The funniest book in Print
Review: Ellen Degeneres is the funniest comedic performer to ever grace the stage, and now bookshelves. Her book, "My Point... and I do have one" is not your typical book written by comedians. Ellen has not written this book to tell you how much she loves her family, nor has she written it to tell you all about the hard times she's had in her life, she wrote it to bring you extreme joy, and hours of endless laughter. When I first read this book in November of last year I had only heard of Ellen from an HBO Comedy Showcase, and I knew then that she was extremely funny. I borrowed the book from a friend and went into my room and lay down on my bed. I began to read it and before even finishing the first chapter, and began laughing, hard. Laughing so hard in fact that tears began streaming down my eyes. My mother ran to my door and began knocking to ask what was wrong. She thought I was crying I was laughing so hard. In her book Ellen looks at the little things in life, like what your teachers and friends thought of you when you were growing up. What it is like to have a sister or brother who is favoured. She deals with all of the issues, such as wearing fur, in the funniest manner possible. She does not tell about her life, at least not in an auto- biographical manner. She looks at the little things in life that we never take time to notice and she notices them for us and makes us laugh about them. No one will be able to read more than a page of this book without breaking into glorious laughter. It is a very therapeutic book which could bring even the most dismal of people out of the dumps. READ IT!!!!

Summary: My Prized possession
Review: This book is so funny , I couldn't stop laughing. In fact one time I was laughing so hard , my nose started bleeding. All you have to do while you're reading is imagine that it's her talking , and you're on a one way trip to non-stop laughter. This book was a bestseller for a long time , and it deserves that much. It's short , but according to Ellen , she is writing another one.
