Helpful Score: 1

I was expecting to be up all night laughing as I really like Chelsea Handler, but I couldn't help but feel really skeptical about whether the things she supposedly did and said actually happened the way she recounts in the book, especially the parts about her childhood. A lot of it just seemed preposterous. The book is not classified as a 'memoir,' so I figure she probably took liberties and exaggerated and embellished her stories (a lot). I admit I did smile quite a bit reading this book, but, for me, the laughs were tempered by my doubt about whether things really happened the way she tells it. I think if you take the stories in her book with a grain of salt, you can enjoy it a lot more.
