This is a stand-up routine in book form. While there are funny parts, because she certainly is funny, I didn’t think that it worked in this format. Other Ellen lovers may disagree. The thing that attracts me to Ellen isn’t just her funniness, and I was hoping that I would get more of that other stuff. I suppose it was silly of me to expect her to be serious, when she’s so obviously not.
So if you enjoy her talk show, and her humour, then read this. But know, that there’s nothing more here than that.
