Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang by Chelsea Handler

Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang by Chelsea Handler, 247 pages, Humor
I had stopped reading books by comedians because the books all seemed flat and unfunny lately. I'm talking about stand up comedians, and not humor writers, people who regardless of how funny they are in front of an audience, seem to lose their way on the printed page. Chelsea Handler is saved from this, I guess, by basing her stories on her own life and making it funnier by lying. She tells outrageous stories to everyone she lives and works with, and I imagine, to the readers of her books. It works, her stories are often hilarious. This is Handler's third book, though the first that I have read.
