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.

Incredibly Entertaining

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

I am a guy (a straight one at that) so for everyone that thinks that this book can only be appreciated by women or gay men (which is what I was told before listening) you are dead wrong. Tina Fey is an incredible talent.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Bossypants?

The insight into the Palin SNL skits.

Which character – as performed by Tina Fey – was your favorite?

Palin of course

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely. Made traffic a good thing for once.

Funny

Funny as always! Tina never disappoints me. I Loved hearing her narrate her own stories. She is such a comedian.

BUY THIS NOW.

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

Tina Fey has the best stories, the best delivery, the best humor. She is amazing and this book is meant to be read by her.

What about Tina Fey’s performance did you like?

Her delivery, her sense of humour, her candidness, her genuine passion for writing and story telling.

You'll laugh out loud.

If you don't mind people staring as you exercise, because you are often chuckling, reacting to funniness only you can hear, get this book. Fey's observations are clear, and you'll come away liking her even more than you aleady do. Big problems with the production values, though. Was this recorded in her garage with a cheap mic? The horrible audio echo that accompanies her wry delivery distracts throughout.

Enjoyable

I love the fact that Tinna herself reads the book it adds a lot.
It is funny and fluent and just flies by, laughed a lot and overall loved it.

Love Tina Fey!!!

Would you listen to Bossypants again? Why?

Yes I would. She has a great sense of humor and having Tina read her own book is perfect. Its nice to have every sarcastic comment in her voice!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Bossypants?

I love her talking about when she worked in a Chicago YMCA. I work at a Y and it is so funny to hear her take on it.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes it was hard to stop listening to her. And I listen to books at work so I found my self laughing out loud and people looking at me funny.

uberfunny!

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

I nearly peed.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tina Fey. Because she is the only one.

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

I love getting to hear an author read their own works. Plus there are some audio segments from SNL that are pretty great.

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

Her

Any additional comments?

Love it.....Tina great story teller!

What did you love best about Bossypants?

She made me laugh, she had some good pointers for life`s journey.

What other book might you compare Bossypants to and why?

Love it!!!!

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

Her growing up the bra over her clothes, her husband & her honeymoon on the cruise, all of really.

Any additional comments?

She is great!

Tina Fey is amazing!!

I am so sad that I have finished this book. Every day as I read this book, I could not WAIT to get into my car for some more alone time with Tina. I have listened to many many audio books. This is the first time that I ever felt that the audiobook MUST be better than reading the hardcopy. I was so excited to share this book with family and friends that I went out and bought several hardcovers to pass around. When I read through the hardcopy, so many of Tina's clever jokes and turns of phrase were lost when I was left to my own devices. Her intonations and improv skills come shining through in the reading. The only reason to buy the book (text) is for the pictures, I think. (So I have both!) This is a must read for anyone who needs a laugh or just wants to laugh. It may be more interesting to women (sorry Tina....that kind of defeats the purpose of many of your premises), but I can't be sure. (My husband put it down after the first few pages. But after he heard me non-stop laughing for three days, he said he is going to give it another whirl. Congratulations Tina Fey. I wish your book had been 10 hours long...but I suppose that would have just increased your stress induced mouth sores. I wouldn't want you to do that just for me.
Wish I could have you for dinner just once!!

So So Funny!!!!

This was a wonderful and hilarious audio book. I laughed all the way through. Tina Fey is an amazing woman. A must read for everyone!!!!
