MY POINT...AND I DO HAVE ONE

Summary: This book is for Ellen fans!
Review: Having watched Ellen's standup for the past 15 years or so, this book is so true to her. Her goofy nature, her ramblings, her self-deprecating humor, her screwball imagination, it's all typical Ellen. I don't think readers should expect an autobiography, I think they should expect typical Ellen humor. I don't expect everyone to like this book, but I read this entire book on a long bus ride once and I was laughing so hard, the lady next to me thought I was crying. This book is for true Ellen fans, and anyone who wants a good laugh. For those looking for an in depth analysis of Ellen's life, look elsewhere. This is 100% pure Ellen. This book is mostly fictional. It doesn't pretend to be real. Those people who read this book and find it unfunny or confusing are obviously attuned to a different type of humor. This book should be read if you want a totally goofy good time. Yes, of course it rambles. So does Ellen, she always has. This book is Ellen's humor and her personality in a neat little package. I just wish she would write more!

Summary: Not as funny as I thought
Review: I love Ellen DeGeneres as an actor and a comedienne. When I read this book, whilst I found some parts of it amusing, I have to say it wasn't as funny as I expected. Part of my disappointment was that this book was written before Ellen came out and when I read it, I can see she is holding back. There are a couple of references to relationships with men that just don't ring true. It's worth a read, but I don't think it's the funniest thing I have read.

Summary: Hysterically funny
Review: Without doubt, this is one of the funniest books I have ever read... and read... and read. And each time I read it, I laugh all over again. I even took it to work and read it out loud to a coworker on our lunch breaks. Each day, we'd read a new chapter. Whether you're a fan of Ellen, never heard of Ellen, or can't stand Ellen, you've got to read this book. She has such an unconventional way of looking at things and relating a story. She'll keep you laughing for hours.
