What could I possibly know?
I enjoyed the book.

very enjoyable

loved this book. I listened to it on my commute back and forth to work. Sometimes I was actually laughing out loud! It was like riding the train with a very funny friend! Such an easy read / listen

Laugh Out Loud Funny

I enjoy listening while I am in my car. Recently my daughter and I went on a college road trip to check out three colleges she is considering. She doesn't enjoy listening to books in the car. As a compromise I purchased "Seriously...I'm Kidding." We had listened to "the funny thing is..." a while back and we both enjoyed it. "Seriously...I'm Kidding" was a lot funnier. We were both laughing and the book took us from Dallas to Austin.The drive flew by thanks to Ellen. This one will always have a special place in my heart, the soundtrack to an important event for both of our lives.

Funny as ever. Good listen.

What made the experience of listening to Seriously...I'm Kidding the most enjoyable?

The humor was relatable and clean so I could listen around my child.

What does Ellen DeGeneres bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her phrasing and the emphasis she puts into her reading gets her point/comedy across better.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me laugh. Often.

I love Ellen!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book!! Ellen always brings a smile to my face. I understand that not everyone would agree b/c it truly felt like it took a day to write the book... But it was still fun & I'd recommend it to someone wanting a little pick-me-up!! I typically read mystery/ scary books & every now & then I need to switch it up to a comedy just to break up the darkness... this book did just that :)

Ellen is Great!

Classic Ellen that we all love and adore. Book is funny and just a overall good listen.

Seriously... BUY this!

If you could sum up Seriously...I'm Kidding in three words, what would they be?

Seriously Entertaining Audiobook

What did you like best about this story?

This is narrated by one of my all time favorite people (one is Ellen DeGeneres, the other is Betty White).

I love Ellen.

Ellen makes you laugh and makes you cry. I recommend watching one of her videos on mondays. You'll thank me later. She is perhaps known as that gay tv show host. She is so much more. To me, she is a role model (see the long review for details).

This is an audiobook, where she narrates a book she wrote about random stuff. I mean really random stuff. And it has a bit of everything in it. In a true Ellen style, it has both the goofy and the serious. Both the inspirational and the laid back stuff. It's three hours of pure enjoyment that left a goofy smile on my face rushing here to write this. I highly recommend it. And in fact, I would advise to listen to random bits here and there. One chapter today and another tomorrow.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely yes! And then again, and again!
