About this audiobook
Winner of the 2015 Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album
Following up the phenomenal success of her headline-making New York Times bestseller I Hate Everyone...Starting With Me, the unstoppable Joan Rivers is at it again. When her daughter Melissa gives her a diary for Christmas, at first Joan is horrified-who the hell does Melissa think she is? That fat pig, Bridget Jones? But as Joan, being both beautiful and introspective, begins to record her day-to-day musings, she realizes she has a lot to say. About everything. And everyone, God help them.
The result? A no-holds-barred, delightfully vicious and always hilarious look at the everyday life of the ultimate diva. Follow Joan on a family vacation in Mexico and on trips between New York and Los Angeles where she mingles with the stars, never missing a beat as she delivers blistering critiques on current events, and excoriating insights about life, pop culture, and celebrities (from A to D list), all in her relentlessly funny signature style.
This is the Diary of a Mad Diva. Forget about Anais Nin, Anne Frank, and that whiner Sylvia Plath. For the first time in a century, a diary by someone that's actually worth reading.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Rivers' last book, a fictitious diary full of her thoughts on pretty much everything, from current celebrities, immigrants, models, New York, Hollywood, t.v., her daughter and grandson and herself, with many entries about her death. Lots of swearing, slurs and such.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I just could not finish the book. Harder to read the comedy than to hear it. Sadly, not long after I read this book Joan died after a botched surgical throat procedure (they think). Still investigating it....
