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.

funny

made me lol frequently. Tina fey has fantastic delivery as a narrator. she even made working at the YMCA sound like a hoot in a half.

Entertainingly funny and intelligent

Getting this audiobook was the best decision i have ever made. Narrated by Tina Fey herself the book was entertainingly funny and intelligent at the same time. But, don't take my word for it.. after all I am a feminist and a fan of Tina ;)

Funny, easy listen to put you in a good mood

I enjoyed Bossypants. It was not a complex drama filled novel, but a good book that I listen to to and from work that made me smile. It was great to help me destress from my work day and think about enjoyable things. At first, I thought that Tina Fey talked too fast in the sample clip on Amazon, but I quickly got use to this once I made the purchase and dived in.

So funny I had to share

What did you love best about Bossypants?

I've always loved Tina Fey, but I couldn't stop listening to this book. It was way too short.

Which scene was your favorite?

I really loved when she went through all the lines from 30 Rock and which writer they are credited to. My sister and I talk in 30 rock lines, so it was really funny to hear how they came about.

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

It totally made my laugh. It was great. I've made 2 people listen to it after me

Laughing out loud during the worst traffic jams

Would you consider the audio edition of Bossypants to be better than the print version?

Yes. Her voice is priceless

What did you like best about this story?

Her behind the scene at her impersonation of Sarah Palin

What does Tina Fey bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her humor. Her sense of intimacy. It feels at if you ar having a drink with her and she is telling you her personal experiences.

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

Her being thorn at the image of the ideal mother while still loving her career. Any working mother that loves her career has been there.

Any additional comments?

She refers to images of the book and invites you to look at them at your electronic version, but I could not do that...It feels like as a listener you are missing part of the story by not being able to check on those images. PLEASE FIX THAT. Still, it was amazing.

Fey delivers

If you want a light hearted and funny listen - Bossypants delivers. Fey's narration is excellent and her humor and wit make this a lot of fun.

Surprisingly insightful as well as funny!

I downloaded this book to serve as a light-hearted diversion while traveling. I got much more. It was very funny, but what pleased me most about the book were the many insightful gems that are embedded in her story. I want my 14 year-old daughter to listen to this book, to laugh at the stories as Tina relates her journey from teenage awkwardness to TV stardom, to hear all the honest self-deprecating comments, and her persistence in the face of struggles. Tina's narration was great and I took a lot more away from the book than a few good laughs. Thanks Tina!

I love this book, I love Tina Fay

This book was great, I listen to it all in one go, with just a few stops to pee.

I laughed a lot, I learned a lot.

Tina Fey is a fantastic narrator. She says something about her voices not being up to par in the book itself, I think she is a verbal chameleon. (I think she down on herself cause she doesn't visually transform well, also in the book). But I think she could narrate for a living. The only issue is the asides, which are fantastic comedy, when I could hear them. Be warned, listen in a quiet room, or you will miss a solid 5th of the jokes and about half the asides.

not to be creepy, but I think we could be besties

I just free like I finished a bottle of wine with an old friend. Even though her life has been totally different, I feel she is very down to earth, witty and funny, and I agreed with many of her assessments of her and others situations. I will listen to my friend again soon, someday, well I plan on it!

I ❤️ Tina Fey

I knew that Tina was funny before buying this audiobook, but now I am a real fan!
