Book Review: Seriously…I’m Kidding

Seriously...I'm KiddingSeriously…I’m Kidding by Ellen DeGeneres
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
Paperback Release Date: September 25, 2012
My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars

Seriously…I’m Kidding is Ellen’s newest book. Some chapters are autobiographical but most are Ellen’s trademark random, sometimes absurd humor and observations on life. There were a few laugh out loud moments but it was mostly amusing, not hilarious. I think that it would be a lot funnier I were listening to Ellen herself read this book out loud. Her delivery is half of what makes what she says so funny.

This was a relatively short book and a really fast read because some chapters were just a paragraph or a list of things. I kind of felt like these short chapters were filler; the longer chapters were definitely the funnier ones. Ellen fans (so most everybody – who’s not a fan of Ellen??) will like this book but you might check it out on audio, it’s probably better in that format.
