1 [PDF] Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea

2 Chelsea Handler is a woman on a mission. She's smart, sassy and not afraid to speak her mind. From an early age Chelsea knew exactly what she wanted and even in the trickiest of situations, she's never one to pass up an opportunity. Like the time she convinced her third-grade class she was shooting movies with Goldie Hawn on location in the Galapagos just to get them to like her, or when she spent the night in a women's prison, contemplating an affair with the inmate who killed her own sister. Chelsea it seems, has done it all, and a whole lot more...any mishaps along the way just spur Chelsea on further. Whether she is being dry-humped by a sumo masseur, dumped by her Big Red experiment or kicked out of a London restaurant with her pants down, Chelsea is always armed with an unshakable disregard for rules and is incapable of leading a quiet life. "Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea" is an entertaining memoir-in-stories that will have you rolling around with laughter. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Its teeny tiny. and only has a few things from a few chapters. Don't buy this!!!! When I recieved this book in the mail, I was very surprised to see it is a mini version of the book. While it is cute, I went to see if I had overlooked something when ordering. This was not the case, and I see no evidence of the size being off. I am disappointed, I was really looking forward to

3 reading this book. This book is a collection of seemingly true funny stories that happened to Chelsea Handler. The stories take place at different moments of Chelsea Handler life. The redhead boyfriend and her DIU were very entertaining, but I was expecting laugh out loud moments and did not get any. Do not get me wrong, I smiled plenty and I was amused and entertained, but I did not find this book funnier than Uganda Be Kidding Me. And funny enough, I started reading this one because most reviews agreed this book was better. I beg to disagree. This has got to be the best book Ms. Handler has ever written. Let's just say she has led a rather interesting life. A real page turner...once you start reading it, you won't put it down. This was one of the first selections I got for my Kindle and I am more than satisfied. I picked up this book with the only expectations of hoping it was as funny as Chelsea Handler is while doing her show or doing stand up. Bottom line, it delivers the comedic punch you'd expect from her. It's candid and filled with humorous stories about her family, a few men in her life and her friends. In all, it's a memoir without the usual sad, dramatic parts. This is more like a sampling of her life, each chapter offering a small anecdote about a different event from her life.for me, "Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea" starts off a little slow, as most autobiographies/memoirs do. Her adult life (and thus the later chapters of the book) are far more funny and outrageous than the earlier ones. It feels as if it takes a little while for things to warm up to her usual brand of comedy. 'Prison Break', a chapter about her first DUI, was definitely the true start of the book for me. From that point, things pick up and the book becomes a must read, something that can't be put down. You'll enjoy her naughtiness and willingness to really open up about things most people would be shy about discussing with the world. It's funny, there were definitely parts of the book that had me nearly in tears (prepare yourself for 'Barking Up the Wrong Tree' which is by far the best chapter of the book). What you may not like are certain chapters that, perhaps if told aloud with her usual deadpan delivery and quirkiness, would have been funnier. Some stories or jokes didn't translate as well on paper as they would if she were telling the story on stage in front of an audience.in all, a good book. I get the feeling there could be a few follow-ups to 'Vodka' with how these are just random stories strung together. I ended the book laughing and smiling, feeling satisfied with this quick but enjoyable read and definitely felt it was worth the money. Wish it had been a tad bit longer and some stories came off better on paper as they probably would have delivered aloud, but, still a

4 good, funny, humorous book that you should check out. I should have pass this one. I'm not a big reader, maybe 3 or 4 books a year. I bought a kindle for a deployment I'll be going on and stocked it with some books. This has been my go-to book for easy light reading. I actually smile and giggle when I read it. I like it so much I purchased her other two. I don't even like her show cause I don't get her humor, she seems bitchy and mean, but now I think I like her. I really, really enjoy Chelsea's unique sense of humour. She is refreshingly brusque and brutally honest or makes up stuff that is just funny. Her books are all funny and just like the Chelsea personna on her talk show. She can be pretty raunchy so if that's something you're sensitive about you might not want to enter Chelsea's realm.
