alisonhori's review against another edition

I am divided between giving this 2 AND 3 stars...really a 2.5. Chelsea is mean to her friends and while some of these accounts seem OK with her....some sound really rather angry. Again, this was a fast, light read which is what I needed for swim lessons, occasionally amusing and a few really funny parts.

In a perfect world, I would be this woman's best friend. She could lie to me all day!

I love Chelsea Handler and her entire staff. Getting to read their sides of her stories was especially hilarious. I also felt a more human connection to Chelsea after reading this book as a lot of her staffers/friends/family spoke very highly of her and her kindness in addition to her blunt, crude and usually hilarious nature.
If you're a fan of Chelsea Handler or either of her shows, read it!

While not actually being written by Chelsea Handler (it's written by her friends and family and dog), Lies That Chelsea Handler told me utilizes the same wit and charm as her past works. This means that it is funny, shocking and raunchy and thoroughly entertaining to read.
I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys any of Chelsea Handler's works being it her tv show(s) or her written words. Certainly if you are a fan of Chelsea Lately then this book is even more for you as the writers of the individual chapters are mostly familiar personalities from the show.
All of that being said I cannot wait for Chelsea's next book that she is actually the writer of because like her lies, nobody does it better.

Listened to this while driving from Minnesota to Chicago. This is a compilation of multiple people from Chelsea Handler's life writing about the practical jokes she plays on them. The bad part is that it is also read by the people who wrote each chapter. Some of the people reading their chapter were really great, others were awful or just plain annoying.
Aside from the actual readings, I didn't really enjoy the book. It was like listening to Punk'd but without Ashton Kutcher. Just couldn't get into listening to other people's stories of moments of panic or humiliation. If you like shows like Punk'd or Jackass maybe you'd get into this book. But if you're not a huge fan of practical jokes then stay away from this read.
