6 Book Reviews for “Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang” by Chelsea Handler

Chelsea Handler is smart and funny. But is that enough? … It isn’t just that Handler’s life is less relatable now, it’s that she doesn’t bring us in: You feel more like an audience member than a fellow traveler…. It’s one thing to have an original voice, it’s another thing to keep it.

Comedienne, talk show host and daring author Handler (“Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea”) indulges her fans with a new compilation of shockingly direct essays, from which she emerges as a scheming farceur with an expansive range of practical jokes and winning sarcasm, pulled off beautifully against (and with help from) her closest friends and family (including her boyfriend, the CEO of the E! television network that employs her)…. Whether Handler is plotting to get her father committed or convincing her dog never to “shadoobie” in her presence, her essays are packed with enough laugh-out-loud moments to rival a first-rate stand-up act.

Where have I been all of Chelsea Handler’s life? I had no idea how funny, how brilliant she is. She is too clever for words.

“Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang” is as good and addictive as being privy to an inside joke.

Chelsea is just as sharp a writer as she is a comedian and late night talk show host. If you found yourself cackling over her words in “Are You There …” and “My Horizonal Life,” chances are you’ll enjoy “Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang.” … Chelsea is at her best when she’s discussing two things: her childhood and her sex life. There’s a little of each here, but there should be more…. The stories are funny and compact, often chock full of biting wit and occasionally cringe-worthy confessions and anecdotes, but they don’t make up as satisfying an essay collection as her first two tomes. “Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang” feels hastily thrown together, maybe to capitalize on her current Seacrest-channel popularity.
