Diary of a Mad Diva

De: Joan Rivers

Narrado por: Joan Rivers

Winner of the 2015 Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album

Following up the phenomenal success of her headline-making New York Times bestseller I Hate Everyone...Starting With Me, the unstoppable Joan Rivers is at it again. When her daughter Melissa gives her a diary for Christmas, at first Joan is horrified—who the hell does Melissa think she is? That fat pig, Bridget Jones? But as Joan, being both beautiful and introspective, begins to record her day-to-day musings, she realizes she has a lot to say. About everything. And everyone, God help them.

The result? A no-holds-barred, delightfully vicious and always hilarious look at the everyday life of the ultimate diva. Follow Joan on a family vacation in Mexico and on trips between New York and Los Angeles where she mingles with the stars, never missing a beat as she delivers blistering critiques on current events, and excoriating insights about life, pop culture, and celebrities (from A to D list), all in her relentlessly funny signature style.

This is the Diary of a Mad Diva. Forget about Anais Nin, Anne Frank, and that whiner Sylvia Plath. For the first time in a century, a diary by someone that’s actually worth reading.

Praise for Diary of a Mad Diva

"[A] visciously hilarious memoir."--Time Out New York

Praise for I Hate Everyone…Starting with Me

“More punch lines per paragraph than any book I’ve read in years.” —The New York Times

“Nobody, but nobody, can hate like Joan Rivers. It is a gift. It is also shocking, the things she makes us laugh at…Joan Rivers is extraordinary, but she’s not for the easily offended—or for anyone who gets offended at all.” —People

“Often hilarious, often shocking, totally politically incorrect.” —Liz Smith

“She holds nothing back.” —The Washington Post

“Spares no one.” —Huffington Post

“An entertaining rant…The only thing missing is the sound of a drumroll and cymbals to feel as though one is sitting in a nightclub watching a live comedy marathon…A raucous, biting look at life.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Rivers is equally passionate and opinionated on every subject she discusses. Hilarious and undeniably original.” —Publishers Weekly

It's Joan, nuff said.

So glad she did this, the parting shots at Justin Bieber and Kanye are priceless. We miss you Joan.

a gift from a timeless diva

so happy I had the chance to listen to this while Joan was still with us-it helped me appreciate the dynamic talent & human being she was. I like listen to it again, time to time as her stories never grow old. she was one of a kind-a first class diva!

Long live the queen!

Loved it! I only wish that it were longer.

I aspire to be more like her!

Joan Rivers is a legend, and a great talent.

Endless Laughs

In this day and age we NEED to laugh as much as we possibly can and Joan Rivers sure provides ample amounts in this playful and absolutely hilarious Diary of A Mad Diva ❤️

you need to know what you're getting into

I've seen some reviews about how shocked people were about the level of raunchiness this book contains.... It's Joan Rivers... as she states in her opening disclaimer and at least one other time during the book, this is all done in jest and not to be taken seriously. I totally expected there to be jokes about celebrities, being old, different religions and races etc. No one is off limits. Some people said the book version was boring. I think listening to Joan tell it herself in her own voice adds to it alot. in the beginning it was a little annoying to hear her keep saying "dear diary..." but by the end I didn't even notice it.

Will always love Joan

There is no one around today as funny as Joan and as politically incorrect, which is what makes her so funny. I'm glad I got to hear her read this humorous book. I miss her.

Hilariously Inappropriate

Joan continues to makes me laugh with pop culture refereemnces that are inappropriate and Joan Rivers classics. A great audio book.
