I have always enjoyed Tina Fey and find her quite clever and funny!
This was an interesting autobiography as I learned quite a lot about her. How she got started and just how she handles herself behind the scenes was very interesting. I had always heard that the comedy scene can be a challenging one for a woman, and that working on Saturday Night live was very stressful behind the scenes with long writing sessions and competition to get your skits on the show. It was great to hear her first hand ...more

Tina Feys "Bossypants" has been my first experience with audiobooks. Well other than the turn the page at the sound of the ding from childhood ones, and I have to say it was an enjoyable experience.

But anyways the book it's self I found to be entertaining and interesting. ...more

I really enjoyed this. The audio book was hysterical, hearing the stories in Tina Fey's voice made it all the more awesome.

Very enjoyable as an audiobook; I think I got more out of it listening than I would have reading the text. Not all authors are good readers, but Tina Fey does a wonderful job with this production. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the parts about her earlier life and her improv comedy work at least as much and maybe more than her description of her work on Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock. This is a really short book, but makes and excellent light distraction, with occasionally serious musings (e.g., about ...more

It was enjoyable to listen to Tina Fey read her audio book, like watching her perform her sketches. Truely a funny lady.

This was just the book I needed to get out of my book rut I have been in since before Christmas. Tina is funny without over trying. I enjoy her interviews and the movies she has been in, but I don't watch her show or SNL so I wasn't aware of just how funny she was. ...more
