Summary

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.” (Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 1850)

“How do I hate thee? How much time do you have?” (Joan Rivers, here, about two-ish)

Joan Rivers is a groundbreaking, award-winning, internationally renowned entertainment goddess. She’s also opinionated - especially when it comes to people she hates. Like people who think giving birth is a unique achievement. Or well-adjusted - a.k.a. boring - ex-child stars who don’t even have a decent addiction.

With all of her diverse experiences, it stands to reason that Joan has seen, done, said, and heard a lot of hateful things. Thank god, she took notes.

Here - uncensored and totally uninhibited - she give the best of her worst to First Ladies, closet cases, hypocrites, Hollywood, feminists, and overrated historical figures. And even when letting herself have it, Joan doesn’t hold back in this honest, unabashedly hilarious love letter to the hater in all of us.

What was she filled with more hate or botox?

Joan had an interesting look at life and her 'hates' where in places sketchy although like with all Joan's work it didn't come from a malicious place she just wanted to make people laugh

Daring and funny we miss you Joan

I laughed so much listening to this book, Joan reads just like her delivery of stand up. Her inappropriate jokes are shocking and funny. If you want a laugh I recommend

A true laugh a minute.

Just wanted to say this book made me laugh out loud in explosive bursts (sometimes in public which was embarrassing) and I agree with Joan on about 85% of the things she hates. Maybe it's an age thing but she certainly gives it to us straight. Such brutal honesty is not only brave but hilariously funny. Yes she's cruel sometimes but she's also usually right!
Loved it.

Hilarious and outrageous, Joan at her best.

Not for those easily offended!! Joan Rivers is legendary for her ability to make comedy out of any situation. In this book she proves that beyond any doubt. She’s outrageous, fearless and brutal in her observations and this book will have you in hysterics!!

Brilliant Joan sticking it to the world

This is like drinking Guinness for the first time - a strong taste ; takes awhile for the brain to adjust and get what’s going on here. The laughter begins; a shy trickle, ‘ I can’t believe I’m hearing this’ and then a surge, then a constant stream of health-giving laughter.

Joan Rivers’ uncompromising satire - searing the pretentious, the vacuous, the moronic, the grossly immoral is pure joy, and a relief from the pain and distress of this crazy, upside down world!

Her words are a tonic for the mind; Clear out your brain junk and have a listen ! You’ll be better off for it !! God bless the irrepressible spirit of Joan Rivers! A gift to us all ❤️
