Lies My Mother Told Me

The World According to Joan

By: Melissa Rivers

Narrated by: Melissa Rivers

If you think Joan Rivers said funny, outrageous, and ridiculous things ONSTAGE, wait ’til you read the funny, outrageous, and ridiculous things she said OFFSTAGE … things that will make you laugh out loud … and keep Melissa in therapy for the foreseeable future.

The only thing my mother loved more than making people laugh was lying … or as she’d say, “embellishing.” Her motto was: “Why let the truth ruin a good story?”

This book contains some of those stories.

A Must Read..

I loved this audiobook from beginning to the end. Melissa Rivers has done a lovely job in narrating it and a terrific homage to her mother. Joan Rivers was a true comic legend, & is dearly missed.

Why would she lie?

An interesting look into the life of Joan Rivers through her daughter’s eyes. A book full of tall tales that were contrived by Joan Rivers to soothe Melissa’s curiosity not only as child growing up with one of the greatest comediennes of our time, but to also entertain not only her daughter, but the reader as well. An excellent fast read full of comedic anecdotal stories about everything according to Joan for all to enjoy!

Engaging and very Humerous

My spouse and I enjoy listening to e-books in the car as commuting snowbirds. Didn’t really know what to expect but this book was an easy listen with lots of funny stories told brilliantly. It had many laugh out loud moments and I certainly recommend.

If your a fan of Joan’s stories then you’ll enjoy the listen.

Written very much in the style of Joan’s “Diary of a Mad Diva” book. Funny listen and Melissa’s story telling can put a joke in Joan fashion for the listener.

Hilarious

Loved this book from beginning to end. Melissa is hilarious. Have listened 4x now FUNNY
