52 {Books} in 52: Chelsea Chlesea Bang Bang

Here's another Chelsea Handler book, Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang. This book is funnier and more entertaining than the last book I read, Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea. This book starts off with a bang, no pun intended, with the first chapter called "The Feeling." In this chapter Handler recalls when she first learned the art of self-love (or self-pleasure depending on your preference). Other chapters in her book recount practical jokes (the fake death of Dudley) and the last chapter is even a list of lies or "storytelling" she's told. You laugh throughout the book and you constantly find yourself asking if the stories she's telling are true or if they are just more practical jokes, this time being played on the reader. Handler must know some of the stories are extremes in ridiculousness because this book has pictures in several of the chapters.

Some of Handler's views may be offensive, but you have to appreciate her honesty and her way of presenting certain views in a way that doesn't make you think she is trying to be malignant with her thoughts. She simply has a comical and warped view of the world and it's because of that view that she's even able to get into the situations one finds so entertaining when retold in the book.
