Product Description

Review
"Entertainment Weekly"DeGeneres is in top form with her second collection of kooky observations....Her strongest assets -- a-hard won dignity and softly skewed worldview -- are on chuckle-inducing display throughout.

Product Description
Whimsical, clever and always spot-on observant, THE FUNNY THING IS...is a satisfying follow-up to Ellen's smash hit bestseller - a collection that perfectly captures the brilliance of this comic supernova.

This review is from: Funny Thing Is, the (Hardcover)

This book is fantastic, i am not a huge book reader, still trying to trawl through the 5th Harry Potter book(bought the day it was released) But this book i could not put down, it made me laugh begining to end! She is such a funny person, and her heart is in the right place. Oh and dont forget the bonus chapter you get absolutly free!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Short & Funny - Quite Like Ellen Herself, 31 May 2006

By	Adam - See all my reviews

This book is an excellent follow up to Ellen's first book "My Point...And I Do Have One", Ellen writes with a style that is simple to read and highly entertaining, it really did make me laugh out loud on numerous occasions.

The reason I have not given it 5 stars is because I did read it in about 3 hours, It is very very short, and it's double spaced, so it must be VERY short if it was laid out like a standard book, I did wish for more, but what I did read what highly entertaining.

There is no real story, its more short anecdotes based on her stand up shows (I did recall a few jokes from some of her live shows) but all the same, its still very funny stuff.

If your looking for something light hearted and funny, then this is totally the book to choose as it delievers everything you would hope it would, and it certainly leaves you wanting more! 4 / 5

5.0 out of 5 stars Thats the trouble with some books, they come to an end.
The funny thing is the author. Terrific and comical outlook on the everyday life and memorable stories of the not so everyday life. Had me laughing away my lunch breaks. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Low-Key Humour
Ellen's humour is understated and quiet, so don't expect a lot of laugh-out-loud moments. This is more a smile-in-agreement-at-how-ridiculous-it-all-is sort of comedy. Read more
