I listened to this as an audiobook, which is great because Ellen is such a phenomenal voice actor and she lends that to her reading of this book. While I did enjoy this (nothing like a couple laughs to soothe an insufferably long commute), it was essentially just a string of jokes. Basically, take Ellen's monologue from her talk show and then repeat it 50 times. That's not a bad thing (see: laughs on insufferably long commute): it just wasn't quite funny enough to make up for it being a string of mostly unrelated jokes and a whole lot of tangents. But it feels sacrilegious to say anything less than wholly positive about Ellen because I love her so I'd still recommend this to an audiobook for anyone who wants a smile on their daily commute!
