Official Book Club Selection

WOW !!! Was that ever fun. Someone else wrote in their review that it was like having a casual conversation with her, and that's exactly right. Funny of course, but also touching, and, you realize she IS the hardest working woman in show business. Loved every minute of it.
Write another one Kathy !!!!

I loved this audiobook, I think I enjoyed it way more than I would have a written book considering it was read by Kathy herself. She put so much expression into her reading it really felt like one of her stand up CDs, even in the saddest moments of her life.

I was so interested the entire time, I was sad to see the book end so quickly (I listened to four hours in my first sitting, and finished it in my second) because I was so interested in hearing about her life. Yes, a decent portion of the book was already revealed in interviews/stand up specials, but she had much more time to work with and didn't spare any details.

Must have for any Kathy fan. I'd even suggest it if you've already read her printed book.

There are alot of authors out there who should farm out the reading of their books. This is NOT one of them. I don't even watch Kathy's show nor have I seen any of her stand up but I absolutely love this book. I have listened to it over and over again. It's not a straight comedy routine. This book is about growing up, struggling to make it and some scary plastic surgery story. The reading is entertaining and engaging and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys memoirs and humor!

Absolutely. Kathy tells a lot of stories within her story and its impossible to catch all of the details on the first pass. I listened to a few chapters more than once on my first pass through the book, and laughed harder each time. I also teared up, too, but most of Kathy's stories aren't too heavy.

Happy Accidents: A Memoir (by Jane Lynch) is what I am listening to now and is definitely a book you could compare to "Official Book Club Selection" basically becuase they are both memoir's of comedic women in Hollywood. However, unlike Kathy, Jane is reading her book to you; Kathy is having a conversation with you except she can't you talking back. LOL!

It was definitely a book I would have listened to all at once if I ever had that kind of time. You cannot get bored by Kathy's stories and because its conversational, you never tire of her voice since its constantly changing while she tells her story and full of emotion.

This is a fun listen. Kathy's conversational "reading" style makes it feel like she's just hanging out with you chatting about her life. For Kathy Griffin fans, this is must. For those not as familiar with her, give it a listen. She'll make you realize that being a successful comedian takes hard work (you don't just show up to the microphone and start cashing paychecks), plus she gives some behind-the-scenes scoop on her experiences in Hollywood.

I'm not a fan of industry gossip or reality television, but I LOVED this book! Thank you, Kathy!

I normally avoid abridged audiobooks like the plague, but this one is good. Kathy doesn't read the book, but tells the story - it's very much like she's just sitting there telling you about her life. It's very real and VERY compelling.

Kathy Griffin always make me laugh out loud, and this book reading is no exception. If you are a fan of her stand-up or tv show, you will adore this book. Be warned though - it's not ALL funny. It also delves into some of the more challenging parts of her life, but somehow always keeps me giggling and smilling.

Really did not know a lot about kathy Griffin when I first downloaded this book. But felt like I needed a good laugh and she totally delivered. Looking forward to going out and renting Her D-List dvd's.

Very entertaining!
