Book Review: Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang

I think we all know by now that I am a big Chelsea Handler fan. Her book “Are You There Vodka, It’s Me Chelsea” helped me through a tornado. So of course I had high hopes for this book as well. While it was no “Are You There Vodka”, I don’t think it disappointed. It was certainly a step up from “My Horizontal Life” and worlds better than “Lies That Chelsea Told Me”.

This book seems to focus more on her relationship with her boyfriend and boss, Ted. He is the perfect victim for Chelsea because he loves her and is incredibly gullible. This puts her in the ideal position to pull all of her usual antics like telling him that she accidentally killed their friends’ dog or trying to convince him to get a pet dolphin. Of course by now she knows that she is rich and famous and so some of the stories aren’t exactly accessible to us average folk. Still, she’s retained her wit. I think the best parts are the emails between herself and members of her family. For this alone I would pay $18!
