While Bossypants won't be on the list for feminist literature, her writing on how comedy is often run by men is important. ( ![]() Two words: loved it! The audio book version is a must. It's like a several hour long stand up routine with the author reading it. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes Tina Fey. I don't remember if I've ever laughed out loud so much from reading stories. It's hard to say too many bad things about a book that made me laugh audibly so often. As some of these reviews mention, it doesn't have a through line or an obvious trajectory; that didn't really bother me. These are a collection of stories from a TV writer. She is not Eudora Welty. She is a writer whose book you picked up because you're interested in what she has to say and you think she's (so) funny. Any story I can read from someone with her skill set and success, I'll take it. And I enjoyed it. Yes, I noticed the occasional mean-spiritedness, but I'm not even sure if I should call it that. I'd really like to give her the benefit of the doubt--considering how modest and grateful she is throughout the book (and in ... life?)--that she intended comments about her friends or enemies to be taken lightheartedly. Anyway, I recommend it. Two words: Hilarious and interesting. I think that I am one of the very few people who absolutely LOVED Tina Fey just by watching 30 Rock. She was my idol and this book of hers only confirmed it. It had highs and lows, but mostly highs, definitely. It was funny, personal, interesting, and a must-read for those who love 30 Rock since Tina dedicated a whole thick chapter to it. Oh, hey, guess what? 30 Rock was meant to be a hit show targeted to the "mainstream", and not only be appealing to a small crowd who "gets" it. But it's all alright now! Tina Fey loves her weird, quirky audience! Will Minday Kaling's book top this one (as another female comedian)? We'll have to see. Loved this. She's funny, she's smart, and I can relate to a lot of her stories, having grown up at around the same time as she did. I will force this on as many people as I can and probably read it again in the future.
Only the American comic Tina Fey could get away with such a revelation-free 'memoir'. But Fey’s memoir is wholly cleansed of any real darkness. It preempts any probing into real frailties and flaws. Of course, this is the point; it is designed to disarm. Neurosis makes Bossypants funny (and it is very funny), but it is fueled by reflexive self-deprecation instead of real reflection.
From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon, comedian Tina Fey reveals all, and proves that you're no one until someone calls you bossy.
