Book Review: Bossypants

Tina Fey is laugh-out-loud funny from the first page to the last in her new autobiography, Bossypants. (Also available as CD audiobook and downloadable audio ebook.) Despite Fey’s timeline of events jumping around a bit in her book, the reader gets to know what makes this funny lady tick - hard work and brains. The reader also gets her take on the quirky high school and college years along with a hilarious scene from her “dream honeymoon cruise.” I was fortunate enough to listen to Fey read her own book, and therefore her funny voices and the intonation she placed on certain areas were spot-on and punctuated her humor perfectly. Fey gives the reader just enough insight into her life without being intrusive to her family or coworkers. Bossypants would make a wonderful light read for your summer list. -Kathy (Downtown)
