There is no doubt that Amy Poehler is one of the few stars in the business who is truly talented, clever, and deserving of her fame. This book is proof of that.

What a great book! I only listened to the audio book verson but highly recommend it. Amy Poehler is the narrator along with several celebrity guest readers. Their voices coupled with her story-telling wit and all-out shenaigans brings her story to life. I liked her before this book and I like her so much more after reading this.

I would recommend the audio book.
