I Hate Everyone--Starting With Me

Joan Rivers

BERKLEY Publishing Group, 2012 - HUMOR - 242 pages

"Joan Rivers, comedienne, actress, jewelry monger, lives by the golden rule: Do unto others before they do unto you--and for God's sakes, do it funny! During the past two hundred years Joan has gained acclaim as an award-winning entertainment goddess. Joan is an international star (she can sneer in eight different languages) having performed all over the world, raising eyebrows, dropping names, and getting laughs. Her career in comedy began with a fantastic sense of self-loathing, but, after spending a couple of years looking at the human decrepitude around her, she figured, "Why stop here when there are so many other things to hate?" Here--uncensored and totally uninhibited--Joan says "F.U. to P.C." and says exactly what's on her mind...And HER mind is a terrible thing to waste. She proudly kicks the crap out of ugly children, dating rituals, funerals, and lousy restaurants. She nails First Ladies, closet cases, and hypocrites to the wall. She shows no mercy towards doctors, feminists, and historical figures. She even goes after Anne Frank, Stephen Hawking, and the plucky handicapped. Joan lets everyone--including herself--have it in this one hundred percent honest and unabashedly hilarious love letter to the hater in all of us. This is absolute Joan Rivers. You gotta love her. Even if she hates you"--

User Review  - Duncan - Goodreads

Vicious and hysterical. I laughed until I cried! Not for the feint of heart or easily offended.

Review: I Hate Everyone... Starting with Me

User Review  - Alicia Grega - Goodreads

I enjoyed listening to the audio book periodically in small pieces. Not a listen from beginning to end because for as much as I've come to admire Joan Rivers, her voice does start to lose its appeal ...
