    "and then what?"
    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    I always ask myself, if I had to do it all over, would I listen to this again? Probably--at least the first half to two-thirds of the book. Once the book veers into life after Saturday Night Live, Rachel Dratch becomes one of us: out of work, looking for love, and trying to figure out what to do with the rest of her life. I got a little annoyed with the assumption that she is somehow special toward the end of the book.


    Would you recommend Girl Walks into a Bar... to your friends? Why or why not?

    I would recommend the book for a couple reasons: It's an interesting take on how she got where she is now, and it is humorous.


    Which character – as performed by Rachel Dratch – was your favorite?

    One of the funniest aspects of the book was how she wove the question about "30 Rock" into the fabric of the entire book. I had forgotten that she was ever on the show, but clearly from her perspective, others have not.


    Did Girl Walks into a Bar... inspire you to do anything?

    Yes, laugh out loud in my car.

    "Another Two Listen Book!"

    I really enjoyed Tina Fey's book Bossypants and am a huge 30 Rock fan. I was never really into SNL so was less familiar with Rachel Dratch. This book is really funny and a great listen. I have run it twice and am pretty sure I'll be listening to it again in the future.

    Where does Girl Walks into a Bar... rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    This is the only the 2nd audiobook I have listened it, but I did not want it to end.


    Which character – as performed by Rachel Dratch – was your favorite?

    Rachel herself


    Any additional comments?

    I love the Rachel does not take herself too seriously. Her take on some of her experiences with her career, trying to find love, having a baby, etc had me laughing out loud on numerous occasions. She is hilarious, smart and a great storyteller. By the end of the book I felt like I knew her and was sad to say goodbye.

    "Learned things I never knew about Rachel Dratch"
    Would you consider the audio edition of Girl Walks into a Bar... to be better than the print version?

    Yes, I think all Celebrity memoir audio books are better than the print edition, because they take less time and it is read by the celebrity.


    What other book might you compare Girl Walks into a Bar... to and why?

    Bossy Pants


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    I didn't know about Rachel Dratch's son and her relationship with the father, it's a very interesting story. I relate to her experiences in dating, so it was moving to hear her story of how she finally found a lasting relationship. It was also interesting to hear her experiences in Hollywood.

    "Not as funny as I'd hoped."

    Rachel Dratch's story is interesting and the behind the scenes information about SNL and other comedians is fun to hear about. But being a comedian I was expecting alot more hilarity. I laughed out loud a few times but that was it. The hardest part for me was the break neck pace at which she narrated. I wanted to yell at her to SLOW DOWN! It was so fast in some places that I think it killed some of the comedy. I think you will really like this book if you are a big Rachel fan or you are in the business yourself. But otherwise I was disappointed with it.

    I didn't read the print version but I like that Rachel herself reads the audio version.


    Would you be willing to try another book from Rachel Dratch? Why or why not?

    Yes. She is a good reader


    Have you listened to any of Rachel Dratch’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    No


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    This is not about show biz!


    Any additional comments?

    I liked the book. It took a different direction than I thought. It was funny but not in the same way. There were actually a lot of times I didn't laugh because the themes didn't really call for it. It was good though.

    I cannot say as I do not own the print version


    What other book might you compare Girl Walks into a Bar... to and why?

    Bossy pants, because Tina Fey and Rachael Dratch have a lot of the same perspectives on life. Both are witty and frank when discussing personal topics

    No


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    "Hilarious Escape from the Clutches of Debbie Downe"
    Would you consider the audio edition of Girl Walks into a Bar... to be better than the print version?

    Rachel Dratch's voice shines through in her reading of "Girl Walks into a Bar," which makes the audiobook even better.


    What did you like best about this story?

    Dratch's off-beat style of comedy is spot-on. This book brought me back to some of her best on her SNL days.
