Book Reviews of My Point...And I Do Have One
Book Review: Don't bother.
Summary: 1 Stars
This was the worst book I've ever read. Not only is it a near copy of her stand-up comedy, but she fills the book with excerpts of how difficult it is to write a book and ends by randomly naming things in the room she's in. It was a sad disappoinment from one of my favorite comediennes and was not worth the two dollars I spent on it at a flea market.Book Review: Please enter a title for your review:

I was hoping for something a little kinkier.Book Review: Hysterically funny
Summary: 5 Stars
Without doubt, this is one of the funniest books I have ever read... and read... and read. And each time I read it, I laugh all over again. I even took it to work and read it out loud to a coworker on our lunch breaks. Each day, we'd read a new chapter. Whether you're a fan of Ellen, never heard of Ellen, or can't stand Ellen, you've got to read this book. She has such an unconventional way of looking at things and relating a story. She'll keep you laughing for hours.Book Review: If you like Ellen, you'll love this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's just so Ellen. You can hear her talk as your read her words on paper. It's very funny, and easy to read which sometimes is a pleasure in itself.Book Review: Not very funny :(
Summary: 2 Stars
To me she's a great comedian...but to write a book and makes it funny is different. Several lines would have been funny if they were presented as a stand-up. I was going to give it 1 star, but considering throughout the book I got a few good laughs, and just smiling somewhere in between, I gave her 2. The title could have been My Point...And I do NOT Have One or My Point...And I do Have NONE (I know it's supposed to be funny in her original title, but it's not for me). Those chapters in the first half of the book are at least better than those in the second half. As the book moved on, I felt it got more and more dull. She was babbling too much, which was ok and very funny...when she did stand-ups; however, not in the book. Anyway I think she's better off presenting her jokes as an actress or stand-up comedian, but not as a writer.
