I can't remember when I found a book so funny. I was constantly laughing out loud--filthy, funny, and highly immature--loved every minute. Thanks Chelsea.

This is a great book. I lost count on how many times I laughed. I look forward to reading more books by Chelsea Handler.

Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea

Great read . . . Quick read! good choice

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book! It literally made me LAUGH OUT LOUD! I didnt want to read it too fast because then it would be over so soon. She is freakin hilarious. All her stories made me crack up. And what made it even funnier is that I can actually picture her doing this stuff! By far the funniest book I've ever read!!!

This book is hilarious, and whoever does think so has problems....I would reccomend reading this book especially if you live in LA, i relate with about every experience in this book.

I am a big fan of Chelsea Handler. I finished reading this book very quickly because it is so funny! I would actually laugh out loud while reading it in the lunch room at work. I have reccomended this book to many friends. I picked up her first book on a whim in the bookstore in college, read it, and passed it around to at least 10 people... I'd give that one five stars.

I read this book on the beach. I was laughing so hard, and often, that a complete stranger came up to me and asked me if it was a good book. Of course I told her to buy it! It's blunt and hysterical. Great, quick read! There were sections in the book where I was laughing so hard that I was tearing up. Now I have to read Chelsea's first book.

We have been fans of Miss Handler's are regularly watch her show. I bought this for my husband for his birthday, and he loved it. I read it myself in about 3 1/2 hours one day, because I couldn't put it down. You are sucked into her wacky life and want to know what could possibly happen next.

Chelsea has a unique personality and humor that does not appeal to everyone. I happen to enjoy her wit. My wife thinks she gets carried away with her potty mouth. I enjoy her TV show. If you like Chelsea, you'll like the book.

This book was hysterical and made me laugh out loud! What a fun read!

I always loved Chelsea in Girls Behaving Badly...she was, hands down, the funniest person on that show. I saw the rave reviews here and decided to get her book. It was great!
I rarely laugh out loud when reading a book and this book had me laughing out loud at least 5 times, and smiling many many others. She's a bit raunchy, but that doesn't offend me at all. My only criticism was the chapter when her and her friends went to get a massage... I think she probably could have left that out of the book. I didn't find it funny. It wasn't offensive or anything, but it was just sort of a boring chapter compared to the others. Otherwise I liked this book so much I ran out and bought her first book. She is also a surprisingly good writer. highly recommended.

This book was just as good if not better than Chelsea's first book. I absolutely love reading her material and look forward to watching her show all the time! Her humor is often what helps me stomach this crazy life. It's nice to know there are people out there with lives crazier than mine that are actually experiencing success from such absurd experiences. I love Chelsea and hope she continues to write and along the way receives many blessings of increased prosperity, popularity and success. To make others laugh and smile is a gift.

Once I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down. The author is blessed with a cynical humor that had me laughing out loud multiple times throughout the book. The story moves along at a great pace and I highly recommend it as a fun summer read. I just wish her other book, My Horizontal Life, was available on the Kindle. Try this book though, you won't be disappointed. Get ready to laugh!!!

I watch Chelsea on E late night and she is hilarious. When I saw the book I knew I had to have it. I read this book in three days. Since then both of my sisters and my mom have read it. All of us laughed out loud. It is just so funny. She is a most humorous story teller.

I didn't even know who Chelsea Handler was and I thought her book was hilarious!! I finished it in 2 days without even trying. Great humor for forty-something women who are not afraid of admitting all of the stupid, funny, embarrassing things that have happened in life and have friends that accept you for just that. I praise her honesty.

I watch Handler's show from time to time, and I find her to be funny and entertaining, which is why I bought this book. I unfortunately I found it to be neither.

She's all over the place, skipping around, throwing out random scenarios, with nothing to tie them together. And then the book ends just as randomly.

It seemed like she was trying to hard too be funny. The situations should be funny, but the writing is just so poor, and the stories are just plain wierd. They have the feel of not-quite-fiction but not-quite-fact. It's not that I was offended by her humor, or crassness, I just don't think she pulled it off the jokes in this book. Its poorly delivered.

Please keep in mind, I was not looking for fine literature or well-developed prose. I just wanted some cheap laughs. I might have laughed twice.

I am honeslty surprised someone published this book.
Save your money, don't buy it.

This book had some definitely funny parts, but more often than not, it was just "okay".

This is one of the funniest, if not the funniest books I have read in years. I literally read it in a day. I had to stop myself and go do something else to make the book "last longer". Chelsea has a way of writing that makes you feel like she's a good friend sitting there telling you a story over a nice glass of vodka.

In a world of chaos, this book provides fabulous comic relief. I don't watch Chelsea's show and this was the first book I read that she wrote. I actually fell of the couch reading it. I am passing it along to each of my friends so that they can enjoy Chelsea's witty writing. I loved it so much, I went out immediately and purchased Chelsea's other book! I have read the first chapter and it is equally as funny as Are YOU THERE, Vodka. If you have the extra $15 do not pass up the opportunity to buy and read this book.....

Very funny. I literally laughed out loud reading this book. Chelsea writes as if you're watching her do standup. It's a great book.

This book is full of GREAT laughs! I didn't want to stop reading until I finished the entire book. I laughed out loud FREQUENTLY while reading! I enjoyed so much that I purchased Chelsea's first book that she wrote.

If you have seen Chelsea's show and enjoy it, then you will enjoy the book. Good Humor.

This book kept me laughing. Chelsea Handler is a great comedian and writer. I will recommend this book to everyone, I already have all my friends reading it and they all love it. I also recommend other book about relationshipsI Love You. Now What?: Falling in Love is a Mystery, Keeping It Isn't

It is unfortunate that Ms Handlery does not choose to put her talent to good use. Instead she makes fun of people that does not look exactly like her or act identical to her. During this book she was able to laugh at and humiliate people from Mexico, China, people with red hair, people with pets and various religious beliefs to name a few. A true comedian can be truly funny without putting other people down. Ms Handlery has some serious growing up to do.

I have never laughed so hard while reading! My husband kept telling me to please keep it down. She is an idiot in the very best of ways. This book is a keeper.

Her writing about her parents is the best. And as a redheaded woman, I agree with her about redheaded men from my own experience. I try to avoid them too. Plus, she's way funnier than that crazy Manc, Karl Pilkington. I also recommend about love and romance I Love You. Now What?: Falling in Love is a Mystery, Keeping It Isn't and PS, I Love You Movie Tie-In Edition

I loved this book. Definitely not for the prudish. Many laugh out loud moments. Love to Bitchtits.

Based on the title, which I think is great, I couldn't wait to get this book. I was really looking forward to sitting down for quite a few good laughs. I did not find this book funny in the least. A few chuckles here and there, but that's about it. In order to be truly funny and not lose your reader's respect, you've got to be spot on with everything. If you have a "consul" in your car, you've probably been to an embassy. If you have a "console" in your car, your car is like everyone else's with a dashboard, glove compartment, steering wheel.....it's all in the details.

I loveeee Chelsea!!! She's a hilarious comedian and i am a huge fan of your show. I couln't hold my laugther. her sense of humor is incontrollable. Great book to read and relax.

Chelsea Handler writes in a tone that is dry, deadpan, and hopelessly exaggerated. She has a great eye for the absurd and the ridiculous in all of us, and narrates as such. In this collection of humorist essays, Handler takes normal situations and blows them up into events that are catastrophically unbelievable and believable at the same time - she uses hyperbole both to point out the flaws in our society and to make us laugh at those very flaws. Some of her jokes, however, can be juvenile, like referring to bestiality or midgets (usually in a manner that is gross and, as much as she tries, unfunny). She soars, though, most of the time, especially in the final essay, where she jets to Costa Rica with her corpulent father and their two friends. The author knows a good pop-culture reference, and uses adult language for her childhood persona to highlight how childish the world can seem to a mere child.

Chelsea Handler, a sarcastic and sometimes self-deprecating comedian, endlessly entertaining actress and an unforgiving critic of pop culture nonsense on her a late night talk show `Chelsea Lately', follows her first novel `My Horizontal Life', chronicling her sexploitations, with a new collection of equally endearing and unbelievable memoirs in her new book `Are You There Vodka It's Me Chelsea'. The title plays off of the famously popular teen novel `Are You There God It's Me Margaret' written by Judy Blume, a title perfectly suited for a woman who seeks enlightenment through vodka.

Tales of fabricating Hollywood contract negotiations and devising covert babysitting operations while growing up demonstrate that Handler's vivid imagination, ingenuity and sense of humor were ingrained, although as she explains not genetic. Empathic and drawn to people, Chelsea finds herself in a lip lock with a murderer, test driving a man with hair the color of "Fanta orange soda", pet sitting for a peekachoo lusting after her man's privates, and duped by her midget doppelganger into donating money to a con artist. I won't spoil all the fun, but be warned that reading this literally laugh out loud content in public could have you giggling to yourself, drawing awkward stares from strangers that may have a hard time believing anything could be that funny!

Handler's voice as an author is unforgettably funny. You'll like her because she's the friend you wish you had to order another round of drinks. Her brand of sarcasm and criticism of others is not unlike what we say to ourselves, She humbles her critique by admitting her own shortcomings and lapses in judgment and haven't we all been there. Familiarity with her tone of voice and characteristic mannerisms from her mind numbed eye rolls, exasperated jaw clenched smiles and hearty laughter from watching her show and stand up acts are what bring this book to life. The book's popularity is owed not only to its stellar comedic content but because of the person herself. We can't seem to get enough of Chelsea. So have another Kettle One and enjoy this gem of laughter.

If you like Chelsea's brand of humor as seen on her E! Television show, then you'll love this book. It was absolutely laugh out loud hilarious! I felt the stories got funnier as the book progressed, Dim Sum and Kimmy being my faves. I highly recommend for any fan! Way to go, Yelsea (haha!)

I've watched Chelsea Handler on TV for quite some time as late night fodder that usually puts me to sleep. She's a funny woman with good timing and is nice to look at. Her wit is quick, her delivery sharp. I'm just not all that interested in celebrity gossip, which overwhelms the content.

This book, however, is another story. Presenting as a series of stories from her life, it qualifies as an off-beat memoir with light tales about a young party girl living her life in the spotlight. She's self-deprecating and self-promoting at the same time, and in spite of her crude and irreverent (politically-incorrect) personality, ultimately I was charmed by these stories. The writing is very good, certainly on par with other famous humor writers, including David Sedaris.

Her stories are laugh out loud funny, but her writing style is much more novice compared to David Sedaris... whoever said she may compare is way off!

I feel like I've come late to the party that is Chelsea Handler, but better late than never. This collection of stories is in a word, hilarious. Chelsea is a natural storyteller and these pages go by so quickly I found myself looking for more when I reached page 264. She's original, irreverent, bawdy, gutsy and VERY funny.

It's hard to pick a favorite, but the story of boyfriend Mohammad and the Peekapoo (apparently a gay dog), and another that included a night with the drunken "midget" named Kimmy, had me laughing out loud and sharing snippets. There are no stinkers in the collection, each is funnier than the previous as you get to know her humor and her quirks, which yes--DO include a lot of vodka.

If you like the work of Laurie Notaro The Idiot Girls' Action-Adventure Club: True Tales from a Magnificent and Clumsy Life or Sandra Tsing Loh A Year in Van Nuys you'll love the work of Chelsea Handler.

Michele Cozzens, author of I'm Living Your Dream Life and The Things I Wish I'd Said.

Though as candid and brilliantly inappropriate as her first collection of essays, 'Vodka' reaches past points of 'horizontal life' to focus more on love, family, and friendship. The end product is a rather remarkable collection of stories that are astoundinly funny, yet surprisingly heartfelt. Handler writes with a sincerity that cushions her bluntness. Wheather reading about being kicked half naked out of a London restauraunt, love scorn Peekapoos, or being dry-humped by an angry asian masseause, its certain you'll be in for laughs the whole way through. By the end of the collection, you'll realize the situations are only half the story. The real story is who is by your side to share them with.

I recently purchased this book on audio (unabridged and it was read by the author) for a long car ride. Wow! Once you get past her dry tone, my husband and I were laughing our butts off. She continually refers to her father as "Bitch Tits" which is a funny visual to keep in your brain while following the stories involving her dad. Of particular humor here was her retelling of her first DUI and going to county lockup... THAT was so hysterical! I think the book would be just as funny, but it was an added bonus to hear her do the storytelling.

Chelsea is a wonderful story-teller. What a great book to have around when you have a free moment to read and need a good laugh!!

This is absolutely the funniest book that you will ever read! I love Chelsea Handler and I love her show as well but this book is by far her funniest stuff ever. There were so many good parts in the book it is hard to pick my favorite, but I would have to say when she got threw in jail was especially hilarious. This book seriously has tons of laugh-out loud moments and all I can say is if you have a sense of humor at all you will LOVE this book!

This was a great book. I wasn't sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised to find this book a well written easy read, absolutely hysterical, literally, laugh out loud funny throughout!

This is a quick funny read for those who just want to read something light and entertaining.

My best friend passed along this book to me. I really enjoyed reading this book, quite a fast read esp where I'm not a fan of reading. There were a few spots in the book where I died laughing but most just caused a smile to my face. Can't wait to read her previous book, def worth the buy, makes a great summer read!

On a whim, I decided to get the book on CD instead - best move ever! It's one thing to read her hilarious accounts, but to actually hear them read by her made for a non-stop laughing experience from beginning to end. It was like listening to her stand-up act! Absolutely hysterical!

I am a faithful Chelsea Lately watcher and purchased her book as soon as I found out about it. She is just as funny in print as on TV, I can even picture her facial expressions. I can't wait for the next one.

I have never in my life started and finished a book in the same day (cat in the hat excluded) This book is a laugh riot. Chelsea makes my funny bone ache. This has forever made me a Chelsea fan. seriously. buy it you will not regret it!

I couldn't put this book down!! It was laugh out loud funny! Some chapters brought me to tears I was laughing so hard.
I didn't want it to end! She needs to write another book SOON!!
My favorite part was the chapter on "Regifting" - PRICELESS!

This was the literally the best book that I have ever read! I am a 14 year old, and I still enjoyed the book. It has hilarious stories from her entire life, from childhood to adulthood. She is one of the funniest people on TV, so I knew that her book would be good, but I never knew that it would be this good. I never wanted to put it down. It was horrible when I finally finished the book, because I never wanted it to end. Her humor is hilarious, even for teenagers! I highly recommend this book!!

I love the comedy of Chelsea Handler, I am a big fan of hers... This book was just as funny as her first, I loved every moment of reading it and so have my friends... I can't wait to get it back from them so I can read it again! (and I usually don't read books more than once)

I absolutely loved this book I laughed out loud in the doctor's waiting room several times! It's a must read, very entertaining!! Chelsea is a fabulous writer!

For those of us who love and enjoy Chelsea Handler, this is a MUST READ! A funny, relaxing and very "Chelsea-esque" look into Chelsea's life. I bought it at the airport to read on my one week vacation, and finished in on the flight. Fast-paced, and a real laugh out loud kinda book. You won't be disappointed!
