    About this audiobook

    Clinton Kelly is probably best known for teaching women how to make their butts look smaller. But in I Hate Everyone, Except You, he reveals some heretofore-unknown secrets about himself, like that he's a finicky connoisseur of 1980s pornography, a disillusioned critic of New Jersey's premier water parks, and perhaps the world's least enthused high-school commencement speaker.

    Whether he's throwing his baby sister in the air to jumpstart her cheerleading career or heroically rescuing his best friend from death by mud bath, Clinton leaps life's social hurdles with aplomb. With his signature wit, he shares his unique ability to navigate the stickiest of situations, like deciding whether it's acceptable to eat chicken wings with a fork on live television (spoiler: it's not). Clinton delves into all these topics-and many more-in this thoroughly unabashedly frank and uproarious collection.

    Please note: This is an abridged edition of I Hate Everyone, Except You.

      Meh. I really thought I would enjoy this a lot. I grew up listening to Clinton, I enjoy watching The Chew when I have the opportunity and I really like their cookbooks. I like the drinks he suggests. I think he’s funny and I generally agree what he has to say. Therefore, I should like I Hate Everyone, Except You. Except not.

      I don’t know what exactly I was expecting of Clinton, but this was not it. My overall reaction was of blase, noncommittal feelings of meh. Just meh. In continuing my listening to celebrity books as read by celebrities (up next is Drew Barrymore), I can say that from an audiobook standpoint, Clinton does a very good job reading his own work. I think the problem for me came from absolutely not carrying about the subject of each chapter and I found myself actively liking him less and less.

      I would think, as a celebrity writing a book, you would want to accomplish at least two things: a, give the reader an insight into your everyday life, and b, relate to people and (hopefully) come across as a down to earth human being. Clinton Kelly definitely gives the reader the former but really falls flat on the latter – quite often, he just comes across as pompous and entitled. Maybe, in reading more closely into the title, that was the point? What I don’t know, as I often reflect on when listening to a book, is if the reading of it affected my perception of the content. Are books meant strictly to be read? Is the interpretation one gets from reading the real one and is automatically distorted when translated into audio? This is the question I’ve asked myself repeatedly this year, and one that I may never have a straight answer to.

      Overall, I could do without this book. There were moments of brevity which I appreciated, none of his stories dragged on as other celebrity memoirs seem to do, and there were moments when I smiled, but overall, I feel like it was a dud.

      I want to get the one thing that bothered me off my chest right at the start - Mr. Kelly has a huge error in his book that I am very surprised an editor did not catch and correct. "Damon and I were walking through the immaculately groomed gardens of the Tuileries when our phones started to blow up. I was June 26, 2015, and the US Supreme Court had just ruled that same-sex couples were entitled to all the benefits of marriage on a federal level." Wrong! The Defense of Marriage Act was overturned on June 26, 2013. Go ahead. look it up. I'll wait.... I know this date so well because it is also the date my father died.Aside from that one error, I found to book to be funny and interesting. I would have liked more. Most of the chapters are episodes of Mr. Kelly's life - how he and his husband got together, how he ended up on What Not to Wear, a little about his teenage years. He also includes his fantasy sit-com script for a series about a What Not to Wear type of show. I love that he and I both believe everyone should be required to work in food service at some point in their lives. I actually think required time in either food service or retail would make everyone a better customer. Mr. Kelly is a talented write - he made me laugh out loud a lot. He is one of the people I would most love to attend a party with. His observations are witty and sometimes a bit bitchy. We feel the same way about Paula (I'll eat a stick of butter) Deen. Just my kind of person.I received a free copy of this book as a Goodreads Giveaway in return for my honest review.
