Customer Reviews
Terrible, waste of money
I felt like I was listening to a book written and read by Dory from Finding Nemo. I’m mad at myself for wasting my money. But I’m sure Ellen is laughing all the way to the bank, cashing a huge check from her publishers for this book. Please don’t fall into the trap and buy this book, unless you enjoy random comments and no real context.
Demeaning
Target audience seems to be infants or young children. Duplicitous innuendo.
Nothing against Ellen but the only reason I read this not having ever watched a single episode of her show is to try to reconcile some of the the talk in the rumor mill relating to media coverage.
My findings shed no light other than a bizarre agglomeration of disjointed drugged up blather.
Enjoy the UK I still have pangs of remorse for purchasing this.
Honest Review
If this book didn’t have Ellen’s name on it, it would not have been published. This book is Ellen rambling for way too long. I really tried to enjoy this book. I’m a big Ellen fan, but I cannot support this book. Just bad.
