Ellen Degeneres’ winning, upbeat candor has made her show one of the most popular, resilient and honored daytime shows on the air, and her life makes for great (and very funny) reading. “I’ve experienced a whole lot the last few years and I have a lot to share. So I hope that you’ll take a moment to sit back, relax and enjoy the words I’ve put together for you in this book. I think you’ll find … book. I think you’ll find I’ve left no stone unturned, no door unopened, no window unbroken, no rug unvacuumed, no ivories untickled. What I’m saying is, let us begin, shall we?”
Seriously… I’m Kidding is a lively, hilarious, and often sweetly poignant look at the life of the much-loved entertainer as she opens up about her personal life, her talk show, and joining the judges table of American Idol.

For some reason I am currently boycotting non-fiction – probably because my life is already full of it. Even my friends say I’m on a heavy dose right now. Meaning this heavy head of mine needs to lighten up some. Or maybe they simply mean, I’m full of it. I’m going with my initial interpretation. In my quest to get out of my head and into my …
Listened to this audiobook, made my coworkers think I might be losing it. My headphones on, just looked to them like I was laughing randomly (sometimes a BIG laugh too!) to myself. This was a fast book to listen to, just over three hours, but it was full of random funniness. If you are looking for a life story, this isn’t one. It is literally just …
laugh out loud funny
Horrible!
I really enjoy Ellen and this book did not disappoint. Her mother seems like a great lady as well.

I really don’t understand why there are so many poor reviews for Seriously… I’m Kidding by Ellen DeGeneres, this was such a good little audiobook!
There isn’t anything too incredibly serious in Seriously… I’m Kidding, which I guess was to be expected. In true Ellen fashion this short audiobook was full of fun sound effects and …
Although I have enjoyed Ellen’s other books, especially the first one, this one didn’t make me laugh all the way through like they did. I think I was looking for something really funny, and this just wasn’t it. Her first book made me laugh because she related the everyday situations that we all encounter that she somehow makes funny. This, too, …
This book cracked me up. I listened to it while running and about fell off treadmill from laughing.
Seriously I’m kidding is a fast pace knee slapping hilarious read about Ellen and more. You cannot put this down.
This book was a hoot and sounded like Ellen herself was reading it to me.
wanna give 2 1/2 stars.. because I can not decide.. maybe the prob was that my mothertongue isn’t english. so maybe I didn’t get all the jokes.. but it was kinda entertaining.. I just thought there would be more.. it was easy read but at some time I just thought when would I be done and can go on to another book.. I love ellen and I love to see …
If you like the writing style of a fifteen year old with a sense of humor then this book is for you. Unfortunately it’s not for me.
In terms of content, I would say there is none. The entire book is compiled of short entries like a journal, a private one, the kind that’s like a girl talking to her journal with her quirky thoughts. I like Ellen …
