Meh. Love Ellen so it didn’t feel like a waste of time to learn a bit more about her but the quality of the writing just wasn’t there.

My incompetent 10th grade English teacher (I mentioned them in another review) wanted us to write summaries of biographies for some reason. I did not complete the project, I don't know if anyone did. What I did read of this book seemed to be a good portrayal of Ellen DeGeneres.

Kind of a waste of time. A few interesting points were made about her childhood and her inability to be molded into a mainstream career, but once she made it to Hollywood, the authors read like a tabloid. ah well.
