If you try to think of the most politically incorrect things that you have ever heard and put it on steroids, you will get an idea of what will be in store for you when you read Diary of a Mad Diva. Don't misunderstand me, the book is funny...hysterical in some parts...but make sure that you are prepared to be uncomfortable in other parts. It actually takes a great deal to make me squeamish in a book, but I definitely felt that way when Anne Frank was being handled in typical Joan Rivers' style.
On the other hand, I loved reading about Kim and Kanye's over the top wedding and have no trouble with her attacking politicians, athletes and Supreme Court justices. Since we all have things that might make us squirm, I admire the comedians who don't give a hoot about who they offend. Joan Rivers was such a voice, and I loved her for it. Her daughter gave her a diary as a gift and off she went.
I can not recommend this book to all, because I know some people who would be horrified. I will recommend it, however, to anyone who knows Joan Rivers' humor and appreciates it for what it is. This is the last thing she will ever write, and when you realizes she was in her eighties when she had the guts to do it...just WOW!
