I bet some of you have thought you pulled off amazing pranks on unsuspecting friends. Oil on the floor to watch them slip and fall, telling them swallowing a tablespoon of cinnamon will taste amazing, or that 3D movie glasses will be ruined in the regular light of the movie theater. Let me tell you now, you cannot begin to hold a candle to Chelsea Handler's pranks.
"Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me" is written by Chelsea's family, friends, and co-workers, infused with a little bit of Chelsea's own writings. They each write their own chapter describing the pranks and comedic onslaught Chelsea has unleashed on them throughout their time knowing her. From very public emails, to prank phone calls, fake pregnancies, ridiculous lies, and nonexistent floods in hotels. You will absolutely marvel at the woven stories and lies Chelsea is able to pull over on unsuspecting victims. Many of her friends and family know that Chelsea loves to prank others, however she is still able to make them look foolish. That takes pure skill. This book is a quick read and it will make you laugh.
This book is hilarious and I loved the different perspectives all describing the elaborate ways they were all embarrassed by Chelsea. She is obviously brilliant at her craft (making people look dumb) whether it is on her show or behind the scenes. She is so clever in her execution of the practical jokes. I especially love how her friends and colleagues just go along with the pranks without knowing about them ahead of time. If you enjoy Chelsea Handler this book will not disappoint you. It is a very amusing look at her personality outside of the show, when she is surrounded by her family, friends, and coworkers.
