 No Sense of Self August 30, 2008
I like to watch Chelsea's show, and she has a wry sense of humor; however, the way she conducted herself as a young woman is both frightening and sad. The thought of two underage women constantly drunk and inviting Godess knows whom into their beds, including criminals and absolute undesirables, wreaks of low self esteem, lack of self respect and no boundaries. I have to wonder if young women know they are putting themselves in danger when they get drunk and go home with strangers?? Not to mention diseases???? This lifestyle is not healthy. Think before you leap or read! I don't recommend this book to young women, who may be influenced to behave in unhealthy ways.
 This book was good.... August 29, 2008
not great... I actually liked her newer book better (are you there vodka.. its me Chelsea).. After reading that book first, I was thinking this one had to be even more raunchy... but it wasn't what I expected. It wasn't bad... I enjoy the way she writes. I just was let down after reading the other book first.

I absolutely loved this book!!! Its an easy and extremely funny read!! Some of her stories kept me laughing for days!!!So if your looking for a good laugh I would definetely reccommend this book!!!
Hilarious August 29, 2008
I read "Are you there Vodka, It's Me Chelsea?" and loved it so much that I immediately ordered "My Horizontal Life". Chelsea has a brilliant way of telling stories that makes you fell like you are out having a drink with a close friend. Not one to pass on to my grandma but definitely all of my girlfriends!
meh August 27, 2008
i purchased this book because i was a huge fan of chelsea handler, and when i recieved it, i tore into it like i was a fat kid, and this book was a box of toaster streudels . . . one page in the entire book made me laugh- the rest were good ideas with too little else. i didn't so little as smirk through the bulk of it, and the filler and one-liners between each major detail were inadequate, and clever at best. nothing progressed in a smooth, and believable manner- the crap tangents seemed to dilute even chelsea's give an s factor when she came back to the main idea. every character was so poorly sketched, the bulk of everything in the book is based on the simplest stereotypes with one or two defining traits- max. which is fine- stereotypes are based on facts, but every character is merely a prop as we watch drunk, soulless, chelsea sketch a short life of doing absolutely nothing. most of the 'insight' and subjective material comes in the form of a very rough joke, or is unnecessary and disjointed, and actually takes away from the idea. did anyone edit this book?
