As a rather large fan of Tina, I had very I hopes for this book and do you know what, I wasn't disappointed. Fey shows that she really is the down to earth, hugely humorous, witty and kick ass woman that comes across in her work as well as showing where that came from (her family also kick ass) and how that has worked both for and against her.

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
