Publisher's summary

Once in a generation a woman comes along who changes everything. Tina Fey is not that woman, but she met that woman once and acted weird around her.

Before 30 Rock, Mean Girls, and '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 all suspected: you're no one until someone calls you bossy.

Entertaining

What did you love best about Bossypants?

Tina is very funny and I could relate to what she was saying.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Hearing stories of her progressing through life was interesting. The book focusses way too much on '30 Rock' towards the end. I lost interest, but only right at the end.

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

Her voice.

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

Hard to say. We listened to it on a road trip, so it was one sitting regardless. It was entertaining, but I may not have started listening again had I stopped though.

Fun and a great laugh!

Listening to Tina Fey was great fun. I learned just how she did her comedy, and the process interests me. It is fun for me to work out how other people do their brand of comedy and Tina was a great listen too.

All stupid jokes and nothing to say

All stupid jokes and nothing to say. Struggled to finish this, and only ended up doing so because it's too short to abandon (and January is for books).
She's a pretty good narrator. The usual things that are great about when a comedian reads his or her own work are applicable here as well. Nevertheless, I still ended up speeding it up to 1.5x towards the end cos I didn't care about missing anything anymore, and just wanted it to end.
