If you like Kathy's stand-up comedy and her show "Life on the D List," then you'll love this book. As usual, Kathy is hilarious, no-holds barred, but somehow manages to get into personal and dark areas while keeping the overall tone of the book funny. I think I've seen and heard everything that Kathy has done, but I never felt like the book was repeating her stand-up or TV show. There are a few familiar stories in the book, but she retells and adds details to make them fresh.

My 2 favorite chapters...one on her brother, a substance abuser and child molester, whose actions caused a serious rift in the family; the other is the chapter on Kathy's brief relationship with Steve Wozniak, which consisted mainly of emails between the two. I came away from the book realizing that Kathy Griffin is extremely driven and she has worked very hard to become a success.
