Ellen Degeneres is the funniest comedic performer to ever grace the stage, and now bookshelves. Her book, "My Point... and I do have one" is not your typical book written by comedians. Ellen has not written this book to tell you how much she loves her family, nor has she written it to tell you all about the hard times she's had in her life, she wrote it to bring you extreme joy, and hours of endless laughter. When I first read this book in November of last year I had only heard of Ellen from an HBO Comedy Showcase, and I knew then that she was extremely funny. I borrowed the book from a friend and went into my room and lay down on my bed. I began to read it and before even finishing the first chapter, and began laughing, hard. Laughing so hard in fact that tears began streaming down my eyes. My mother ran to my door and began knocking to ask what was wrong. She thought I was crying I was laughing so hard. In her book Ellen looks at the little things in life, like what your teachers and friends thought of you when you were growing up. What it is like to have a sister or brother who is favoured. She deals with all of the issues, such as wearing fur, in the funniest manner possible. She does not tell about her life, at least not in an auto- biographical manner. She looks at the little things in life that we never take time to notice and she notices them for us and makes us laugh about them. No one will be able to read more than a page of this book without breaking into glorious laughter. It is a very therapeutic book which could bring even the most dismal of people out of the dumps. READ IT!!!!
