Review: Bossypants by Tina Fey

By 12:00 PM , , , ,

Bossypants 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 all 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!)

If I said I don't like Tina Fey, that would be a freaking outright lie! I love this woman with all my heart and listening to her read her book, Bossypants made me sooooo happy the whole time.

I finished it awhile ago and totally thought I put up a review for it and then I check on here and see it's not so!

Bossypants is exactly what you want in a memoir: life lessons, awesome anecdotes, how to survive fires on a cruise boat, and how to be awesome (She doesn't explain that last one, the whole book is basically that because she is. Can you tell yet that I'm a Tina Fey fangirl? Can you?) She even goes into that whole Sarah Palin thing that happened. Which I found very enlightening!

I would go on about this book, but I'd be basically reciting the book verbatum. So I will leave you saying get the book (Audio version is awesome because she reads it to you!!!!) and dive in.

Or I could just fill this whole post with a TON of Tina Fey = Love. =)

About the Author

A play on a quote from Francois Rabelais which is featured in one of my favorite books, "Looking for Alaska" by John Green, This Great Perhapsless is my home away from home book blog! I'm a total nerd who loves to share the books that I surround myself with. I've always been the girl with a book in her face. Reading is something I've always been passionate about ever since I was two years old! Twenty-something years later here I am; a girl who is still addicted to her one true love, books! I hope you'll enjoy this journey with me as we dive into new books, and some old, and a whole bunch of fun stuff together!

    Oh, I have a print version of this book, but maybe I should go for the audio! I am generally not a big audiobook fan, though. Oh, decisions, decisions!

    I love books that make me laugh out loud, so I may have to cave and get this one.
