this book was highly addictive. it was an easy read and kept me laughing. chelsea is absolutely wonderful and i recommend this book for anyone who loves her and anyone who is curious about her. this book gives a lot of insight into chelsea's personality

This book is amazing. Her antidotes are so outrageous and funny. It is a really good way to juxtapose a stressful life by reading a few pages.

I almost didn't buy this book because The New York Times review mentioned Kathy Griffin. "The everywoman spirit of Kathy Griffin" is what's quoted on Amazon but I remember the wording slightly differently. Rest assured Chelsea Handler is nothing like Kathy Griffin. Or Sarah Silverman. Or Tina Fey. It's like the NYT tried to just drop in every comedy it girl it could think of. Get a thesaurus. Of people.

Chelsea is a comedian and her essays don't scuttle even as close to the thought-provoking tree as, say, David Sedaris. I have to admit my joy may have been related to so many recent skull-liquifying experiences with "humor" books. This one is funny. She has a schtick and you have to appreciate the vapid whore persona or you just won't get anything from it. But then why would you buy a book called Are You There, Vodka anyway?

this is honestly the funniest book i have ever read. i was at home by myself laughing histerically! i have even bought a couple for gifts. i absolutely LOVED it!

I have to say that this was probably the funniest book I've ever read. I could not put it down. It was hilarious! Chelsea Handler is so funny.

A must buy!

So, I'm a huge fan of Chelsea Handler and this book is clearly why....

Chelsea is amazing and laugh out loud funny... I don't often laugh out loud while reading, sometimes a little chuckle or giggle comes out, but with this one, I was almost crying I was laughing so hard...

She is very relatable; you laugh at her because you've seen yourself with your own friends in the situations she gets herself in ..

I suggest reading My Horizontal Life by her first, then this one. It's not necessary, but recommended!

Oh yea... and this book probably takes about 2 hours to read, once you start reading it, it's hard to put it down. it is the same with her other book...

I knew nothing about this woman. I've never heard of this woman. I did not know this woman from Adam...or Eve. On a lark, I checked her book out from my library and haven't stop laughing. It's almost like watching the antics of Bugs and Daffy Duck in book form. AND it's non-fiction!
It's not just funny, it's crazy funny!

This is painful, just not funny. I had hopes, at least it mentioned vodka in the title. Drinking more didn't help.

The book arrived in excellent condition, just as the seller had promised. I would definitely order from this seller again. Thanks!

Absolutely hilarious! Loved it! My friend read it after I did and now we see things every day that remind us of some of the stories in the book and we laugh until we cry. Can't wait for another.

This is book is so funny! I couldn't put it down and it had me laughing for hours!

This was a killer follow-up to the first book. I love that she took her keenly funny observation skills and applied them to other aspects of her life. She is unabashedly honest and helplessly endearing. I can't wait to see her live!

absolutely loved it. the funniest book i have read in a long time. chelsea is a gem. go buy this book if you need a good laugh and some light fun reading. my horizontal life is also good, but of the two, i thought this one was a bit funnier.

I love the Chelsea Lately Show and this book is even funnier!!!!! I LOVED it! A quick, laugh out loud book!

This book is pretty funny and hilarious at times but not a book that I had problems with putting down to do other things. I am a fan of Chelsea Handler because her show is real and she comes off as a real person and not someone who is perfect and scripted on her show. The book is the same but some of the stories in this book drag on. I would recommend this book to friends for entertainment and a few laughs but it wouldn't be a book that I would tell them they have to wait in line for and grab as soon as the bookstore opens. :)

I live in India. After having read such raving reviews on Amazon about this book, I asked one of my friends to ship it to me from US. I was so excited about reading the book. After I completed the book, I couldn't help but wonder - "That's it? And that's supposed to be funny?" I have read much better and funnier books. I probably smiled just once throughout the read.

It was a funny read. I was hoping it would be longer only took two or three sittings to read the entire thing. But it was worth the read.

Book was just okay for me. Can't imagine why it has been on the "Best Seller" list so long.

Whoever wrote that you would be laughing out loud while reading this book on a plane was absolutely right! I read this whole book during a flight and I could not stop laughing. The stories she tells are out of control and they are extremely funny. Excellent book!

Chelsea stumbles her way through more ridiculous situations than any one woman has a right to; but she's willing to share even the most humiliating parts, so YEAH. I laughed my way right out of a super crappy mood thanks to Chelsea.

One of the funniest books I've read. If you loved "My horizontal Life" you'll enjoy this even more.

This book is absolutely hilarious! It lifts my spirits instantly within just minutes of picking it up. It's as if Chelsea is just rehashing old war stories with me over drinks! Definitely a way to decompress after a bad day!

This book is very comical...I enjoyed it very much...especially during these stressful times...It was a joy to read and not too long...I do not read anything but Biographies and serious non-fiction books. I would recommend this book as "medicine" to pick you up.

I have been watching chelsea handler for a while now on E! and Girls Behaving Badly. And decided to check out her first book. I found it pretty funny, very blunt, but mostly a female read. I'm glad i gave her a second chance with Are You There Vodka. I literally read this book in a day! and for a 200+ page book for me that's almost impossible. It was so F***ing Funny. During the Jumped chapter i was reading to my sister in a chelsea like voice and she almost pissed her pants!!! I'm really eager for her third book. And i definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun, easy, and entertaining read for male or female!!! Love Ya Chelsea!!! Great job!! :)

Handler does a great job with this collection of essays. I was looking for a Burrough's type of book, but was pleasantly surprised with her own type of light hearted humor, that was laced with an alcoholocis twist. This is more of a humor book than one of addiction or vices, so if you are looking for that type of drama, pass this one up. Still it was a delightful read that will keep you turning pages one after another.

A really funny, quick read. Some of it was a little over the top, but definitely entertaining and worth it. I listened to it on audio, and Chelsea's voice cracked me up. She sounded just like a good friend of mine, and it was like I was listening to her go through all of these funny exploits.

Chelsea Handler's memoir is slight slushed. Handler is a great standup comic and an actress (In the Motherhood). However in the audio biography, she sound wet behind the ears.

She is a wonderful story teller, however its like telling a great joke with no punch line. Handler's slice of life with a twist is not everyone's cut of tea, its mostly bitter Vodka

However, she showcases she is a survivor in this audio presenation,but not a great narrator, However Chelsea, next time try a stand up comedy album, it would be more enjoyable

This is literally the funniest book I have ever read! I couldn't wait to share it with all of my girlfriends! It is hard to find someone so relatable and honest. If they had 10 stars, I would've given it 10! Excellent..good for a laugh so hard you'll cry!

Chelsea Handler is hysterical- I couldn't put the book down and I couldn't stop laughing, out loud, like a lunatic. I nearly peed my pants when reading her diet journal-- I think there are many women who attend parties and end up basically eating the house down- at least I know that I have been guilty of eating an entire brick of cheese at least once in my life. If you like Sedaris or any of the other sarcastic, funny non-fiction short story writers, you will definitely like Handler's book.

I love funny books (David Sedaris, Jen Lancaster, etc.) however this is not my idea of funny at all! I have no respect for someone who can write this kind of degrading. nasty garbage. I could not get through this book because of this writer's tasteless descriptions and lack of style. She is someone I would never like and I hope I never come into close contact with such a disgusting person. I wish I had known before I bought it. I wish I hadn't downloaded it to my Kindle, so I could have the pleasure of throwing it away. This is as nice as I can be to describe this book.

If you want to laugh out loud, read this!!! Loved it!!! Chelsea Handler is hilarious!! If you appreciate blunt honesty and Chelsea's comedy you won't be disappointed. My friends are passing this book around and it's made some new fans for Chelsea who now are watching her evening show on television. Thanks Chelsea!! Can't wait for the next one!

I ran across this book a couple of months ago in an airport bookstore on a business trip. At the time I couldn't get the book, but I knew it would be PERFECT for a friend of mine. I made note of it and went on my way. I purchased the book a few days before my friend's birthday and accidentally dropped a hint that I bought a book for her. She immediately went into her usual rant of, "WHY did you get me a BOOK?! UGGHH!" You see, she is NOT a reader. Anytime I mention a book I am reading about any particular subject (usually a self help or learning something new book) she rolls her eyes and tells me she doesn't know why I keep reading that stuff. She just doesn't like reading AT ALL! But I KNEW that I had a book she would enjoy. This was based on the title alone, which absolutely cracked me up! I finally gave the book to her the day after it arrived about a week later. She looked at it and smiled. Still unsure about me giving her a BOOK! 2 days later, she told me that she only had a chapter left to read! She sped through the book laughing out loud and even quotes from this book now! She loves it so much that she is recommending it to some of our friends. I can't wait to get my hands on it and read it myself!

If you wanna laugh this is definately the book for you. I was laughing out loud through pretty much the whole thing. Chelsea Handler has a twisted sense of humor and I love it.

This is my first review! I am on chapter 6 and just want to say that this is a fun book to read

This book was great it made me laugh out loud and want to know more about chelsea and her crazy family.

So I was taking a 13hour flight to Australia, and decided I'd pick up some reading material. I love Chelsea on "girls behaving badly" and so I bought her book. After I paid, I noticed that I had spent $26 dollars on it - the most I'd paid for a book up to this point was 7.99. I thought about turning around and returning it, but I didn't. And I am soo glad! I was literally laughing until I was crying in the airport. everyone was staring at me doubled over with giggles. The guy next to me asked me if he could read it after me, since it looked like I was having a such a good time.
Still, to this day, I laugh when I think about some of the experiences Chelsea writes about. She is hilarious. This book is worth every penny! :)

My Horizontal Life is funnier, the stories are more hilarious, but this book is also a good one to laugh out loud at!

nice book, but not quite as in depth as i thought it would be. the writing's a bit weak, but a fun beach read!

When I read this book, I couldn't help but laugh out loud! Chelsea Handler is hilarious and her other book, "My Horizontal Life" is just as good! I can't wait to see more from her.

I read her first book. Not a huge fan of her show, I'm a guy and I'm not in the target market, but she's funny there and funny in the first book and funny here too.

Damn near every single word is funny. I read the whole thing in one day. Couldn't put it down.

I have always liked Chelsea Handler & her smart, yet tacky humor. I had had a couple of recommendations by friends to read this book. I hopped in the tub, picked it up & 80 pages later I was a prune! I couldn't put the book down, even when my fiance was ordering me to. He could hear me snorting from the other room. HILARIOUS! I told my fiance he has to read this book, and he is on his way. I'm now reading her first book & it's not as funny, but I love Chelsea. She is my new best friend.

I love Chelsea's show so I knew I would love her books, both of them are absolutely laugh out loud funny! She is such a natural comedienne! Get these books you will not be sorry!

A friend recommended this book and said he couldn't put it down. I bought it, but couldn't find the time to start it. I had a free moment one evening and that was all it took. I finished the book the very next day. It was too funny to put down. Now half the people I know have read it and we are constantly reminding each other about the funny parts. LOVED it.

I loved this book - it was LOL funny! This is a great lighthearted read. I don't recommend this book if you can't handle some crude humor or foul language, however. But if you are a Chelsea Handler fan then I am sure you will enjoy this book. You may not be wiser when you finish, but you will surely be in good mood.

I am still in the process of reading this book - it's awesome! Chelsea is hilarious (as if there were any doubt) and her stories are wonderful. Glad to know I'm not the only one w/ a crazy childhood:)

The book arrived as was told. And on time.Everything was done very well. I am very satisifed.
Thankyou,

I have not laughed out loud while reading in a long time. This book made me laugh out loud like a crazy person. I could not put it down, than I was sad when it was over. You will love this book.

Chelea's life has been really funny and great to read about. Good easy reading and humorours. Take on a trip for the plane or by the pool.

Cheslea holds nothing back and is so funny! I read both of her books this summer and loved them. Her stories are great and you will laugh out loud. I watch her show every day and love her sense of humor. We should all be like her and not care what other people think of us. Love this book!
