Editorial reviews
Product DescriptionIn this raucous collection of true-life stories, actress and comedian Chelsea Handler recounts her time spent in the social trenches with that wild, strange, irresistible, and often gratifying beast: the one-night stand.You've either done it or know someone who has: the one-night stand, the familiar outcome of a night spent at a bar, sometimes the sole payoff for your friend's irritating wedding, or the only relief from a disastrous vacation. Often embarrassing and uncomfortable, occasionally outlandish, but most times just a necessary and irresistible evil, the one-night stand is a social rite as old as sex itself and as common as a bar stool.Enter Chelsea Handler. Gorgeous, sharp, and anything but shy, Chelsea loves men and lots of them. My Horizontal Life chronicles her romp through the different bedrooms of a variety of suitors, a no-holds-barred account of what can happen between a man and a sometimes very intoxicated, outgoing woman during one night of passion. From her short fling with a Vegas stripper to her even shorter dalliance with a well-endowed little person, from her uncomfortable tryst with a cruise ship performer to her misguided rebound with a man who likes to play leather dress-up, Chelsea recalls the highs and lows of her one-night stands with hilarious honesty. Encouraged by her motley collection of friends (aka: her partners in crime) but challenged by her family members (who at times find themselves a surprise part of the encounter), Chelsea hits bottom and bounces back, unafraid to share the gritty details. My Horizontal Life is one guilty pleasure you won't be ashamed to talk about in the morning.

meh
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?

Chelsea Handler is HILARIOUS!!!
I have really enjoyed Chelsea's books. I am a huge fan of hers. She is so hilarious. I highly recommend her books to anyone and everyone. I can't wait for her to write another book!

Really funny
It isn't often that I find a book that makes me laugh so much that I couldn't take it anywhere. I also felt obligated to read parts of it aloud to anyone in my family who was nearby. I read the one-star reviews and can only conclude that they actually want to read literature. This isn't it. This is about a girl with no morals who knows it and doesn't care and has a way with words. She rats out herself and her family, which has some mild shock value as well. Really worth it. I want to buy a copy for everybody I know.

Funniest Book Ever.
This is hands down the funniest book I've ever read. Her writing style just oozes creativity. She has a keen observational skill that is just gut-bustingly funny. She's definitely a head above all others. I'm dying to start reading the second book!

Hillarious
Very funny, there were times when I literally laughed out loud. If you like her tv show, get her books.
