Synopsis

“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, today, 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.

About The Author

Comedienne, Emmy Award–winning TV host, Tony-nominated actress, Grammy winner (for her audiobook of Diary of a Mad Diva), and CEO, Joan Rivers was an icon of American culture, a bestselling author, Celebrity Apprentice winner, writer, producer, director, and savvy businesswoman who overcame great odds to reinvent herself time and time again. She hosted E! Network’s popular series Fashion Police, and starred with her daughter, Melissa, in their own weekly reality show, Joan and Melissa: Joan Knows Best? on WEtv Network. Her critically acclaimed documentary, Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work premiered in theaters nationwide and is available on DVD. Amongst all of her success, Joan’s most joyous triumph was being a mother and grandmother.

FABULOUSLY FUNNY!!! Bought this book in hardcover when it first came out. Love this book so much...that I keep my copy in my vehicle.

Goodreads review by Just a Girl Fighting Censorship on March 07, 2024

Note to those that hated this book because they were offended, or it was too mean... Either you don't know Joan Rivers or you didn't read the title of the book. If you were expecting a memoir, you must not have read the beginning of the book either where Joan explicitly states this is not a memoir, i......more

Goodreads review by Trish on July 15, 2012

I fucking love this woman. She's at the top of her game in her 70's and come back more successfully from more personal and career bad shit than I can comprehend. And I mean truly at the top of her game; she knows her craft and herself and the business so well that she is untouchable in her particula......more
