Seriously...I'm Kidding Audiobook

" funny.... but kind of pointless, in my opinion. "

" Let me start by saying I love Ellen Degeneres and usually think she's hilarous....but not in a book. There were a few times I laughed out loud reading this book...but only a few times in over 200 pages. Her humor just isn't as funny reading it from a book. I tried to imagine her voice while reading the book and that helped a little. The book was an easy read though and I easily finished it but not sure I would really recommend it. I was going to buy this book for my kindle but then decided to check it out from the library due to the mixed reviews. Now I'm glad I didn't buy it! "

" Sometimes its not as much about the book, the content, but the writer. Ellen is one hell of an inspiring person, the one who could cheer and perk you up in your best days and that is what this book does. Some really good stuff and laughs and reduceds everyday tensions to get you to be more positive about life. I loved this book. "

" So funny you embarrass yourself laughing out loud. "

" Hilarious material from the funniest woman in America. Some of it is taken from her talk show, but it is still funny. "

" Funny. Worth listening to the audio book driving to and from work. Not especially memorable though. "

" Ellen has always been able to make me suddenly burst into a fit of giggles! She is able to perform the same justice in this hilariously funny novel as well! "

" I like Ellen DeGeneres and was excited to see that this audiobook was available from the library. I must admit I had laugh out loud moments while listening to this. However, most of the book was just stream of consciousness. There's a whole chapter just of Ellen thinking about stuff at the beach. Yes, it was funny, but I was looking for more. The ultimate message of the book was to be happy and to make a difference. That's great! I can get behind that...of course, that could be said in five words. Ultimately, I was just glad that I didn't purchase this book, even though it was fun. "

" I giggled.. a lot. "

" Good book, but not a page-turner. Some nuggets of "wisdom" to be found between pages of lightness. "

" L-oh-mother f'ing-L! I love her, this book is funny af. "

" Really fun and I loved that she reads the audiobook. Some of the chapters are hysterical, but a few of them fall flat. "

" Good, not great. Her stand up act(s) is/are much funnier, but this was still a enjoyable, light, read. "

" Very good when you're in for a laugh!! "

" I loved this book. It had me laughing out loud! "

" funny light easy read "

" Complete and utter ridiculousness. Even for Ellen. Love her, but this was tough to get through. "

" Hilarious. This book just makes my day. "

" I love Ellen, both for her wit and her compassion. I did chuckle quite a bit throughout this book, but I feel like some of the material would be better spoken as a monologue or stand-up routine. "

" Listened to this on our car ride from Provo to Nampa, kept me occupied, but it wasn't as entertaining as I was expecting. Love her and she completely cracks me up on her show, but this wasn't very funny. Disappointing. "

" Loved it!!! Laughed out loud many times, a silly feel good book that left me feeling light and happy every time i picked it up. I will definitely read and enjoy again. "

" Thanks Ellen, I needed the laughs! "

" Ellen is so funny! Reading the book was like saying out loud goofy comments you would usually say only in your head. I really enjoyed this book, I didn't have to think, just effortlessly read, relax and laugh out loud. "

" I was expecting more. It starts out great. Ellen being Ellen. Further into the book, the chapters are either blank, unsubstantial, or a little preachy. "

" pretty random, stream-of-consciousness -- it's funny but a little tiresome. I prefer a plot, at least within a chapter. "

" Pretty good but I prefer her show :) "

" funny. lots of really great insight interspersed with some bits of genuine humor (not degrading or anything). fun for the whole family! :) "
