Description

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!

Clever, insightful, funny, funny, funny. It makes me proud to be a middle-aged, funny woman myself. I read chunks of this to my husband and he laughed out loud, too. Then we watched Tina and Amy do Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton on You Tube, and both of us guffawed. Great fun. Great stress-reducer.

Tina Fey makes this, not only an easy read, but an enjoyable read. If you enjoy her on tv, you'll love this book. You can read the sarcasm on every page, and that's not easy to convey! I applaud "Bossypants" for being a humorous and realistic book. Her stories of growing up, work, marriage, being mom and everything in between were great!

LOL!

This is one super talented, hilariously funny lady! I love being able to hear the author's voice when you read the book. And you totally could with Tina Fey. My husband wants to read it now because of how many times I laughed out loud.

I loved this book. My long suffering family dutifully laughed as I read almost all of it aloud to them so they loved it too. Bossypants, you are one of us.

Great book

Tina can be humorous but it is over shadowed by foul language which is a distraction.
Carol Burnett, Lucille Ball & other famous comedienne's did not have to resort to foul language to gain popularity & respect from the fans.
Tina, be funny but still be a lady - it has been done!!

Tina Fey is a force to be reckoned with in the comedy world, and this book proves that further. It is filled with wit and wisdom, and insight into what skyrocketed her to fame.

Worth every penny. A scattering of random thoughts that equal pure genius. And hysterical. Loved it.

Filled with great behind the scenes stories without trashing people. Not sure what made it the "enhanced" version, though.

Pure Tina Fey

This book is a great insight in to one of the funniest people in comedy today and gives you a chance to laugh and empathize realizing we're all a little Fey.

Have always loved Tina, but now have a new appreciation for her zany humor. I laughed out loud heartily and often! A definite must-read!

Great book!

I am not a big fan of SNL, just not my type of humour, but am a huge fan of 30 Rock. Love, love, love this book. Smart, funny, witty, honest.

Great Read

Tina Fey can write the hell out of a book. This piece of writing was funny, touching, smart, (not overly)political, sexy and smelled like donuts.
The enhanced bit malfunctioned, which sucked out loud and distracted me from the good bits. The sound clip was funny, but about 80% of the photos didn't render, causing jokes to go flat due to lack of reference and making me concentrate on thinking "Is that bit a cow on fire or a photo of her Grandma?"
Otherwise a tour de force

Witty, poignant and true.

Fey's brutal honesty and matter of fact humor made me cringe, then bust a gut, then tell my wife I see what it's like now (the baby stuff not the comedy). Loved it love her. Go Palin 2012.
