Bossypants

By: Tina Fey

Narrated by: Tina Fey

Length: 5 hrs and 32 mins

Publisher's summary

Spirited and whip-smart, these laugh-out-loud autobiographical essays are "a masterpiece" from the Emmy Award-winning actress and comedy writer known for 30 Rock, Mean Girls, and SNL". (Sunday Telegraph).

Before Liz Lemon, before Weekend Update, before Sarah Palin, Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: A recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV. She has seen both these dreams come true.

At last, Tina Fey's story can be told. 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 - from the beginning of this paragraph to this final sentence.

Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've always suspected: You're no one until someone calls you bossy.

Includes special, never-before-solicited opinions on breastfeeding, princesses, Photoshop, the electoral process, and Italian rum cake!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

I <3 Tina Fey

If you could sum up Bossypants in three words, what would they be?

How could you not love this woman? She's super smart, she's sassy, and she's hilarious. This book was very enjoyable. She tells funny stories about her life and gives advice for women (people in general) that would like to get into media and entertainment... actually, she gives great career advice in general.

Tina Fey is an inspiring woman. Her voice, both literal and figurative, is entertaining, funny, bright and smart. This was a great book and I'm encouraging my daughters to read it!
The audio was top notch!!

Never Really a Frump at All!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend it to everyone. Even if you are conservative (my hustband), you will find a reason to laugh out loud as Tina shares a life that we all can applaud! We listened to it together over Christmas and wanted to be in the car so we could laugh together! We even sat outside IHOP to finish a segment before breakfast!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Bossypants?

I loved when she discussed how her mom dealt with menstration! Yikes--I'm 15 years older that Tina and my mom did the same thing! Then when she wanted to use the "belts" on SNL, my husband remembered skit and still didn't get it!

Which scene was your favorite?

The hike with the un-boyfriend. Oh, have we all done that!

I can't say enough that this book reaches all ages and socio-economic groups. My daughter (in her 30s) has been quoting parts and suggested it to me. I've suggested it to others--I may even buy a hardcopy!

Great Read!

I purchase this book to listen to on the plane. It made my flight go by quickly.

We both could agree...

Although geared slightly more towards the female audience, both my husband and I enjoyed this book on our road trip!

Fantastic!

Witty, sarcastic, smart and engaging! I'm so glad I chose to listen to this. I don't think I would have enjoyed it nearly as much if I had read the print version. Tina telling her own story in her own voice is perfect.
