Product Description:

THE EAGERLY AWAITED COLLECTION OF PERSONAL ESSAYS FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MY HORIZONTAL LIFE

When Chelsea Handler needs to get a few things off her chest, she appeals to a higher power -- vodka. You would too if you found out that your boyfriend was having an affair with a Peekapoo or if you had to pretend to be honeymooning with your father in order to upgrade to first class. Welcome to Chelsea's world -- a place where absurdity reigns supreme and a quick wit is the best line of defense.

In this hilarious, deliciously skewed collection, Chelsea mines her past for stories about her family, relationships, and career that are at once singular and ridiculous. Whether she's convincing her third-grade class that she has been tapped to play Goldie Hawn's daughter in the sequel to Private Benjamin, deciding to be more egalitarian by dating a redhead, or looking out for a foulmouthed, rum-swilling little person who looks just like her...only smaller, Chelsea has a knack for getting herself into the most outrageous situations. Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea showcases the candor and irresistible turns of phrase that have made her one of the freshest voices in comedy today.

Hilarious!
This book is great! We read it for our book club and we all agreed that it felt like Chelsea was reading the book to us. Very funny book if you are a fan of Chelsea Handler, or if you just like rounchy comedy!

I loved this book almost as much as her other book called my horizontal life.

Not worth the read....
I definitely agree with the other negative reviews. I could barely finish it and it was very disjointed. I laughed twice, the most refreshing part I thought was the last chapter, the writing was good and I wish that she had done more of it through out the book. I like her on TV she should stick to that medium. There are much better humor books out there.

Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea
Clever, quick, witty. Best of all - I laughed. And laughed. Not for the timid or those who are so PC that they don't know or appreciate sarcasm when they hear it. I think her writing is clear and conversational - it is easy to "hear" her voice in her writing. I am recommending it to all my friends.

Not Even
I wanted a book on audio CD so I bought this book. I have watched Handler's show on E and thought the banter and gossip can be pretty funny and/or interesting at times, so I thought this might give me a good laugh or at least a smile.

I listened to the first CD and by the time it was over I was totally irritated. Mad at myself for wasting my money mostly. You know the feeling when something is so bad or disappointing you want to run screaming from the room? I cannot put into words how profoundly disappointed I am in this book. In my personal opinion, this is not funny. It is annoying and stupid.

I thought I might listen to the second CD just to give it another chance, but after reading some negative reviews here (by readers who had read the WHOLE book) I decided not to waste any more of my time and return this to Amazon for a refund.

I'm still searching for a good book on audio CD.
