Funny stuff for a long drive

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

Her sense of humor and positive outlook were refreshing and made a long drive much smoother.

Very funny!

I listened to this while walking my dog and it made my daily strolls much more enjoyable. I managed to turn a few heads my way after chuckling more loudly than I'd care to admit.
I had never listened to this particular format before, where the chapters are so incredibly short but, really, there's no reason for them being longer. Short, sweet and to the point.

Hilarious

Nice light read. Ellen is hilarious and I'm glad I took the time out to listen to this wonderful book.

Soooo Entertaining!

What did you love best about Seriously...I'm Kidding?

I don't think I'll ever regret a purchase of something by Ellen. She's so funny, I worried I was disturbing my coworkers with my poorly held-in laughter. Definitely a good purchase.

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

You can hear what she heard when she was writing it.

a Perfect balance

a perfect balance between some comedy, some serious lessons and some truth about our selves and herself. a quick listen and fun.

It was a little short.

I liked it, I just wish there had been more to it. It's funny and mildly interesting, but I didn't think it had a whole lot of substance to it.

Good listen to take your mind off things.

This book is pretty good and funny and helps your mind to wonder off of the day to day stresses. Chapters are short with different subjects in each one. Not truly a "read" like a regular book, just
typical Ellen pointing out facts about everyday life that are funny!! I love Ellen and her show brightens my day!!!

I love Ellen!!!!

Ok, so this is a book I started listening to this morning and am done with it before the day ended... I am bedridden with multiple disc prolapse- but I just just did a jig:)). That's what Ellen does to me... Go get a copy- so recommend it...

Interesting, different, hilarious

Where does Seriously...I'm Kidding rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's definitely unique, she was definitely kidding a lot throughout her book so sometimes it was hard for me to tell if something she was saying was true or not, but she is hilarious and I love her energy and perspective on life.

I loved listening to Ellen's funny and unique book in her own voice because she is such an awesome and hilarious woman. This was different than most books I read in how she wrote and read it, but it was great since it was about Ellen.

Yes
