With the back of his hand, he wiped a smear of peanut butter and crumbs off his face. Even at the age of six, I knew Damon was a natural entertainment agent, or morning radio DJ.

Karen marched up the steps and slapped the back of Damon's head. What did I tell you about manners? Look at me. Damon looked up at Karen, who wasn't that much taller than he was. Karen looked at me and sighed, shaking her head. Karen flung a single finger at her son, like a switchblade aimed at Damon's fat peanut-buttery face. Home English Online. Read Book Download Book.

Poul is intent on becoming rich and will do almost anything to attain his dream, including taking the writer's works. Publisher J.

Unbeknownst to him, Mendel's music changes society. He becomes an icon, an object of worship and a target for assassination. But everybody knows that. In these disjointed autobiographical essays, L. Framed by silly dialog with her three children "Did you write this book to make dough? Though pithy moments can be found, these stories often succumb to aimlessness. It would probably be more interesting to listen to the audio book.

She's probably more animated in real life than what she's trying to emphasis in sentences using formatting. There are a lot of ironic one liners that cracked me up, but as an overall book it reminded me of when you're sitting in a coffee shop and this self absorbed girl is talking about herself. You could stop listening, but you don't. You don't like her, but her cappuccino life is still more interesting than your decaf, bran muffin routine.

But how interesting a life have you had if you met your husband at 19, had 3 kids, and every "adventure" is something ho-hum that doesn't warrant an entire chapter?

Not very. The endless compliments she gives herself gets old fast. That she's married to a wealthy man gets old fast as well. And at 33, to mention over and over and OVER that you're old is proof that her body may be aging forward but her br I wanted to like this book so much. And at 33, to mention over and over and OVER that you're old is proof that her body may be aging forward but her brain is aging backwards.

I didn't mind the name-dropping as long as there was a story behind it, but when she tweets Common before they board a plane and says, "Are you one of my fans, too? Maybe I'll come by and say hello" it's just all too much. The last two chapters were the only interesting ones in the book. And if you don't know anything about pop-culture: TV shows, movies, songs, bands, you're going to get lost in this book.

She's a good writer, and often turns a wicked phrase, and I predict her second memoir will be much more interesting as she's now moved to LA and is in the real show biz mixing bowl. View 1 comment.

And it's not even funny enough to make it worthwhile. Oxford celebrates her life as a self-proclaimed asshole in a series of essays that chronicle her life from a child asshole to an adult asshole.

Everything is Perfect When You're a Liar is probably one of the best biographies collection of essays? I've ever read. But Everything is Perfect That's what makes her so damn funny.

Chapter Everything is Perfect When You're a Liar is probably one of the best biographies collection of essays? Chapter after chapter, I thought "YES. This is me. I have these exact same thoughts. This book is amazing: I recommend it to everyone.

Also, I can't believe you did that, Kelly. Mar 11, Wendy rated it it was ok Shelves: non-fiction. Wisecracks, shenanigans overpowering Alberta Twitter sensation Kelly Oxford's debut book, a collection of autobiographical essays, is broadly about taking risks and embracing the imperfection in life.

I do a lot of weird and stupid things," she tells her children in the book's introduction. Far from being unbelievable, though, most of the situations the essays describe are relatively mundane.

As a pre-teen in Edmonton she takes a job as a dishwasher fo Wisecracks, shenanigans overpowering Alberta Twitter sensation Kelly Oxford's debut book, a collection of autobiographical essays, is broadly about taking risks and embracing the imperfection in life.

As a pre-teen in Edmonton she takes a job as a dishwasher for a day; hijinks ensue. As a year-old she flies to Los Angeles to find a movie star; hijinks ensue. She takes her family to the zoo or Disneyland; more hijinks. Her clever observations on Twitter drew hundreds of thousands of followers, attracting the attention of book publishers and Hollywood producers. She and her family have since relocated to Los Angeles, where she is writing TV and movie scripts.

In every anecdote she has a well-padded safety net behind the scenes. Stories end with her leaving the scene, driving home, flying away, passing by. If she's learned anything from her adventures, the lessons are vague. With the stakes so low, the book relies on Oxford's wit and storytelling ability.

If you're a fan of her tweets, you already know she can craft a bright, pithy one-liner: "I'm the Helen Keller of body language. If Woody Allen and I had dinner, we wouldn't even have to open our mouths. The book's best writing is that in which she puts aside the biting quips and exposes herself.

An essay in which she recounts internships at a brain-injury clinic and seniors' home, for example, is honest and revealing with an edge of humour that keeps it from being syrupy.

The problem? There's not enough of that writing; it's lost among the wisecracks and shenanigans. Reading the book feels a bit like being cornered at a cocktail party by a garrulous woman who's spent all day cooped up indoors. At first you're drawn in by her vivacity, laughing along and urging her to go on. But before long, you find yourself glancing surreptitiously at your watch, nodding and smiling, while inching your way toward the door.

Review published in the Winnipeg Free Press, 13 April Apr 27, Emily rated it did not like it Shelves: salty-book-reviews. I'm really torn between 2 and 3 stars. I have followed Kelly Oxford for about three years on Tumblr and Twitter. Unfortunately, her blog and tweets don't transfer over to a book as well as I'd hoped. Some of the childhood vignettes were funny but seemed drawn out. Kel I'm really torn between 2 and 3 stars. Kelly has written about her childhood on her blog, so I think she has better material that wasn't included here.

I honestly didn't find anything about her childhood or teen years spectacularly unique, but her writing style kept it interesting. In the post-secondary time period, I really felt bored and skimmed large chunks of the book. Sorry, not interested in your self-righteous diatribe on how high school was so "beneath" you, but now you're an barely-to-unemployed 18 year old who smokes pot all day.

Not exactly riveting. Thankfully, there are only a few essays from that time period. The book becomes interesting once she meets her husband at the age of 19, marries him, and has children. The best supporting characters are absolutely James and her children; if she writes again in the future, I hope she focuses more on them.

Favorites: the Back-Up Plan, Vegas, How I Met Your Father, Open Letter to the Nurse As some others have mentioned throughout the internet, I also would suggest that Kelly find an editor who is willing to be frank with her regarding her white privilege and bullshit racist "but I'm not a racist! She casually uses the term "Magical Negro" and only mentions black people in negative terms.

Mentioning race isn't racist which she uses as her defense , but only mentioning black people when they're fat, doing drugs, or look like a famous black man even if it is a woman kinda is. View all 4 comments. Apr 15, HarperCollins Canada rated it it was amazing.

My husband glances over at me as I sit reading. You know, not sugar coating things. I gasp and reluctantly put my book down: this requires action. I spend the next twenty minutes educating him. We are first introduced to a 6-year-old Oxford as she attempts to organize the neighborhood kids in a re-enactment of Star Wars.
