Nice enough beach read but wasn't a fan of the more outdated humor.

I love her. She's crazy. She's hilarious. Everyone should read all of her books.

I guess my avoidance of Chelsea Handler is because I just don't like looking at her, because her stories are pretty entertaining. A solid B- for this one.

I'm actually surprised that I gave this a 3 instead of a 4, but looking back having finished it a week ago, I stand by my decision. Compared to 'Are You There, Vodka?' it isn't as strong and for the most parts the stories aren't as funny. It doesn't help that I horribly dislike Chelsea Handler as a comedian if I watch her on TV. This book made me think about that more and more.

But yeah, there were funny stories, but there were also weak ones. At times, Chelsea also just comes off as a massive pain in the lower regions to her poor boyfriend. The tricks she played on him were just cruel at times. And yes, they were somewhat funny to read. As funny as I would have liked? No, not particularly. I was left craving for something more, and the book really isn't that long to begin with.

'Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang' leaves something to be desired, like a few less unfunny stories replaced with ones that actually make me laugh. I found myself skipping lines in parts of the book, wanting to find something I actually liked.

3/5 stars.

This is the second book I've read by Chelsea Handler. While I didn't find this one as hilarious as My Horizontal Life (this one didn't make me laugh out loud nearly as much as MHL), it's still definitely worth reading. I highly recommend it.

Funny! Liked it more than her previous book, but not as much as her first.

Hysterical. Good to read at night because each chapter is a story, and they don't flow at all. So you can read one and put it down. My only complaint is that a few of her stories were hard to follow, funny anyway though. She has an amazing way of wording things. I'd totally read another of her books.
