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.

Tina Fey: What's not to love

Tina Fey is a name everyone has heard, but not necessarily a person people know much about. Her autobiography had me in stitches, and I am so glad she narrated it herself. I can't imaging anyone else doing it. I couldn't "put it down". I will definitely listen to it again in the future, and would highly recommend the audio version to anyone who wants to get Tina's autobiography. There's just something about listening to Tina tell the stories her self that brings them more to life.

Tina is GOOD!

She reads it a little too fast, but who am I to judge...
There are 6-8 spit out / choking funny moments. Beware: she sneaks these on you and they’re a real health risk.
All the other material is more or less your most intelligent friend (if you are lucky enough to have one, and intelligent enough to keep her) giving you the break down of how a woman with a brain life feels like.

Funny, touching and insightful. Bravo!

What made the experience of listening to Bossypants the most enjoyable?

Tina Fey is a terrific narrator. I couldn't wait to get in my car to listen to the next chapter.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Bossypants?

When she talks about her dad and scar. Unexpected personal and touching moments.

one of best audiobooks ever!

Well written, read, and sooo funny! I think this particular title should only be available as an audiobook, you get all the nuances the author intended. Your own private Tina Fey routine.

Amazeballs!

Best takeaway "Is this person in between me and what I want to do?" If the answer is no, ignore it and move on. Your energy is better used doing your work, and outpacing people that way.

really enjoyed the story and performance!

I am really glad that Tina Fey narrated her book. It was very entertaining!

Good book!

Easy to listen to! Her reading it makes it so much better. Liked the smaller chapters. Kind of all over the place but I enjoyed it !!

Laugh out Loud!

I was on the fence about this book but I'm really glad I listened. Tina Fey is really funny.

Totally Enjoyable, Honest & Funny!

What made the experience of listening to Bossypants the most enjoyable?

I love Tina Fey's ability to be funny while being brutally honest on so many real life issues, from crazy vacations to psycho breastfeeding moms! She put into words what most of us really think in our heads but don't want to say out loud!

What did you like best about this story?

Mostly her sense of humor about life. The story had a good flow and was easy to follow.

What three words best describe Tina Fey’s voice?

kind, smooth, easy

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

The parts about her dad.

Any additional comments?

I guess just to say that at the beginning of the story it felt like you could tell she was a bit nervous narrating a book and her flow was a bit awkward. I can only imagine how hard it is to do something like that and I felt myself empathizing with her. As the story went on her you could feel her getting more comfortable with ability and her flow got very easy. As I said in my title totally enjoyable!

This book was meant to be in audio.

As a fan of Tina Fey, I knew the book was going to be funny (and it didn't disappoint). But after listening to her narration of her own material (both alone and with my family), I can't imagine how this book was meant to be anything other than an audio book. It's pitch-perfect and hilarious.
