Book Reviews of My Point...And I Do Have One
Book Review: The funniest book in Print
Summary: 5 Stars
Ellen Degeneres is the funniest comedic performer to ever
grace the stage, and now bookshelves. Her book, "My Point...
and I do have one" is not your typical book written by
comedians. Ellen has not written this book to tell you how
much she loves her family, nor has she written it to tell
you all about the hard times she's had in her life, she
wrote it to bring you extreme joy, and hours of endless
laughter. When I first read this book in November of last
year I had only heard of Ellen from an HBO Comedy Showcase,
and I knew then that she was extremely funny. I borrowed
the book from a friend and went into my room and lay down on
my bed. I began to read it and before even finishing the
first chapter, and began laughing, hard. Laughing so hard
in fact that tears began streaming down my eyes. My mother
ran to my door and began knocking to ask what was wrong.
She thought I was crying I was laughing so hard. In her
book Ellen looks at the little things in life, like what
your teachers and friends thought of you when you were
growing up. What it is like to have a sister or brother
who is favoured. She deals with all of the issues, such
as wearing fur, in the funniest manner possible. She
does not tell about her life, at least not in an auto-
biographical manner. She looks at the little things in life
that we never take time to notice and she notices them for us
and makes us laugh about them. No one will be able to read more than a page of this book without
breaking into glorious laughter. It is a very therapeutic
book which could bring even the most dismal of people out
of the dumps. READ IT!!!!
Summary of My Point...And I Do Have One
In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Ellen DeGeneres shares her hilarious take on everything from our most baffling human foibles?including how we behave in elevators, airplanes, and restrooms, and why we?re so scared of the boogeyman?to fashion trends, celebrity, and her secret recipe for Ellen?s Real Frenchy French Toast. Most of all, this witty, engaging book offers insights into the mind of one of America?s most beloved comics.?Dear Reader,
I was awfully excited when I was asked to write a book. I was however, nervous. I was afraid I didn?t have anything important to say. But when I began writing, I realized that although I don?t know a lot about any one thing, I know a little about a whole bunch of things: baking a pie; dancing; curing the common cold; running the Iditarod?it?s all in the book. And I realized I notice things that maybe some people don?t notice (or they don?t notice that they don?t notice). That?s all in the book, too.
