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.

Entertaining and funny!

Would not have been as good without Tina narrating. Great company on long drives home. And Don Fey is a rockstar.

Tina Fey is Amazeballs

Where does Bossypants rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Ranks up there with Steve Martins! She seems awesome!

What did you like best about this story?

I love that she really went into detail about why she wanted to do what she did. Why she loves comedy and how tough it actually is to get into the business. She seems like a crazy hard worker.

Which scene was your favorite?

I love her talking about when she lived in Chicago. I am from Chicago so I loved that she talked about her time here.

Tina Fey hits the nail on the head !

Tina hits a home run. I couldn't stop listening. Funny and entertaining. Highly recommended book!

Better to listen to than read

I listened to the sample if this book and loved it so much I bought a copy for myself. Sadly I only made it a third of the way through before I broke down and bought the audiobook.

Listening to Tina tell her story is a trip! I love her sarcasm and wit. The book some

Listened many times

I have listened to this book many times including on a car trip it is hilarious Tina Fey did an awesome job both writing and reading this

What can I say

I can say, thank you for making bad days funny. I listen to these in the car as you suggested... I have listened to many audiobooks. This one was different, it made me laugh out loud more than most. I love the references to the pdf attachments, my imagination was not doing the pictures justice, even the ones I had seen in the past. This book is inspiring to me because I have always wanted to try stand up, as well as putting my writing out there... if it’s crap you won’t get credit, I won’t say “Tina Fey inspired this crapsterpiece!” Thank you.

U R MY IDOL TINA

Tina Fey's autobiography by itself is hilarious. But having TINA FEY herself read it to is 🎶AWESOME🎶. I've listened to this audio at least 20x n each time is the best. Luv hearing Tina's life story as well as her take on life. If u have yet to buy the book or audio WAT THE HELL R U WAITING FOR. BUY IT NOW!!

Smart, Funny & Kind

I only have a passing knowledge of Tina Fey: I'm an occasional SNL watcher and I've never seen 30 Rock, but don't let that deter you from reading this book. Funny is funny, and I loved every minute of it! Granted, I am the perfect bullseye for her subject matter: from my happy, obedient, middle class upbringing to the joys and absurdities of the work/family balance. Her self deprecating humor really struck a chord with me!

Tina Fey: awesomewittyfunnyfeminist

Bossypants was a pleasure to read. Why?
1. I can now articulate to my boyfriend why it's arrogant to say that men are funnier than women, instead of just staring in shock and walking away.
2. The next time I get into lengthy conversations about beauty secrets, i will yell "who cares!?" And I will mean it!
3. I laughed a whole lot :)

Three words: Daring, Bold and Sexy

This book was perfect for my road-trip! I don’t wanna spoil the book, but I LOVE what she said about breast feeding and family trips. Relatable😂! This book transported me into her world. I felt like Tina Fey! I must admit, I only started this book because I thought it was about Tina Turner, but I stayed for the Fey! Absolutely loved it. Only note I have, it went on for longer than I thought. Everytime I looked down at my phone it said 2 hours left. How can it be 2 hours left for 5 hours🙈?! Not complaining though, I really enjoyed her performance and I have been referencing this book ALL WEEKEND! This is a boss ass book for boss ass women! Love it keep us the good work Tina!
