Meh, it was mildly humorous. This book is definitely for hard-core fans of the Chelsea Lately TV show as well as her previous books; folks who aren't hip to these will be clueless as to most of the content. The stories are read by Chelsea's family, friends, and associates from her TV show about various elaborate practical jokes (from sending prank emails from someone's unattended computer all the way to conning an employee into returning early from their European honeymoon) that she's played on them over the years. There wasn't a lot of laugh-out-loud hilariousness, but I did enjoy some of the stories from Chelsea's early, pre-stardom days in show business. Many of the stories were repetitive and overly long, and I found myself fast-forwarding to get through to their conclusions.

Do not read if you do not want to be subjected to foul language, sexual references, etc. There is an entire section, which honestly feels like "filler," referencing the E! Network's Standards and Practices attempts at censoring Chelsea's show, where various curse words are repeated endlessly. Snore.
