Ellen DeGeneres has written a humorous account of some real and some imagined episodes from her life or of the life she lives in her head. Ellen is an observer of people. She notices their habits and foibles. She offer a crisp and befitting critique of them. However, she is not as harsh with anyone as she is with herself. Ellen's self-deprecating humor hits home and presents Ellen as a young woman who is open, honest, naive, and not in the least mean-spirited. Her brand of humor is refreshing, unique, and distinctly her own voice. She comes across in her written word in a similar fashion to her live performances.
