Book Reviews of My Point...And I Do Have One
Book Review: A good, light and easy read
Summary: 3 Stars
I enjoyed this book as it was almost the same as listening to Ellen on her daily talk show which I Tivo every day. If you're looking for something intellectual or deep, don't get this one. However, if you want to read something light-hearted and funny like Ellen is, it's a good one!Book Review: The perfect gift: laughter!
Summary: 5 Stars

After listening to Helen DeGeneres faked croc tears over her dog, she entered the ranks of the 'best forgotten'.Book Review: People Who Missed THE POINT Are Idiots
Summary: 5 Stars
If you bought this book expecting some life-altering "point" she had...you were just plain stupid. Since when has Ellen, "The Funniest Person In America" ever been serious in entertainment venues? Free clue: NEVER.
I've seen "reviewers" blather on and on about, "Oh, this book has no point...she should rename it. It was just endless ramblings and oh, me oh my, I wish I could get a refund!" These people ought to have their book-buying privileges revoked. Shut up, already.
Ellen's books are nothing more than an extension of her stand-up comedy...and if that's not what you like...buy a different book! What is so appealing and lovable about Ellen is her ability to say a whole lot...without saying really anything at all. THAT is what is funny about it. Her RAMBLING! THAT is the point. And if that point flew over your alleged head...tough.
It's amazing. EVERYONE'S a literary critic. "Oh, dear me, I just read this book and I just don't understand what her point was. She should stick to stand up comedy. Oh, Lordy, Lordy, Ellen should talk to ME before she writes, because, after all, HER life is about ME!" Perhaps you should stick to whatever vocation YOU chose...Then, when you get enough credence and success behind you...maybe YOU can write a book...and then WE all can dump all over it and talk about how crappy it is.
Ellen is a comedic genius...the type that translates perfectly into whatever venue she chooses...stand up...sitcoms...talks shows...or simply hosting an awards show.
I laughed out loud at the fools who foamed on and on about how she talked throughout the book about how her publisher demanded a certain amount of words...like that was something she didn't do intentionally. What maroons. Please...please...put the book down. Before you hurt yourself or somebody else. Yikes.
Book Review: Extremely Funny
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone who has seen or heard Ellen before will love this book. Worth the time to read, though it doesn't take much time to get through. I read it in an afternoon. Great book.
