More About the Author
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
Ellen DeGeneres published her first book of comic essays, the #1 bestselling "My Point...and I Do Have One, " way back in 1996. Not one to rest on her laurels, the witty star of stage and screen has since dedicated her life to writing a hilarious new book. That book is this audiobook.
After years of painstaking, round-the-clock research, surviving on a mere twenty minutes of sleep a night, and collaborating with lexicographers, plumbers, and mathematicians, DeGeneres has crafted a work that is both easy on the ears and very funny. Along with her trademark ramblings, "The Funny Thing Is..."contains hundreds of succinct insights into her psyche, and offers innovative features including:
- More than 50,000 simple, short words arranged in sentences that form paragraphs.
- Thousands of observations on everyday life -- from terrible fashion trends to how to handle seating arrangements for a Sunday brunch with Paula Abdul, Diane Sawyer, and Eminem.
- All twenty-six letters of the alphabet read aloud.
Sure to make you laugh, "The Funny Thing Is..."is Ellen in top form.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Ellen's book and laughed a lot while reading her observations about parking, fitness lessons and food! I only wished the book was longer and it included more entries from her personal relationships with Anne Heche and Portia de Rossi.

Not at all funny
Read the first few chapters and then put it in the pile to go to the charity shop. I'm sure I could find more fun things to do, like washing the car, or maybe watching paint dry. Read more

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

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
