Title: Bossypants Pdf

Tina Fey lives in Denver with her ferret, Jacoby.

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.

Big letdown What a letdown, this is the least profound and insightful nonfiction book I think I've ever read. It's not a memoir, not an autobiography as it is a collection of essays that reveal absolutely nothing about its author, Tina Fey. It was as TIna Fey wrote it as an SNL character. The writing is so self aware, cringe-worthy in its self-deprecation. The only section that garnered any genuine emotion is when she (very briefly) talked about the incident that caused the scar on her face. The stories completely lack any depth, reveal nothing about what makes Tina Fey tick. The stories she chooses to share--her stint working the front desk of a decrepit YMCA, literally following a college crush up a mountain--aren't interesting. I think this is what happened:Fey's Agent/Manager: You know, there's so much interest in you, what makes you tick. You should write a book about yourself.Fey: No! No one's interested in me. I wouldn't know what to write. My private life is private--I don't want to share stories about me and my family to the world.Fey's Agent/Manager: I think the publisher would be willing to pay an advance in the high six figures.Fey: Well, let me think about it.So this is what we got, a group of stories that have nothing to do with each other, told by the character "Tina Fey" (versus the real person), that are about as deep as a mud puddle. Big disappointment.Let Tina Read This Book To You Like an episode of SNL, Tina Fey's book reads like a quick succession of sketch comedies, some funnier than others. But I laughed out loud quite a bit. It got to be so bad, that I was forced to stop listening to the audio version (read by Fey herself) during work hours as my loud giggles, snickers, and snorts were unprofessional, to say the least.For me, the most enjoyable parts centered around the backstage shenanigans and politics of Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock. Hearing Tina recount her first day as a writer on SNL, when she draws the short straw and has to be the one to tell host Sylvester Stallone that he needs to "enunciate" more, was pure comedy gold, and I was at once laughing at her, as well as laughing with her.There's nothing too deep here. Even the story of how she received the trademark scar on her cheek is glossed over with (funny) jokes and snide remarks. But did we really expect anything else from the most recognizable anchor of the Weekend Update?If you can get the audio version, do. It's worth it to hear Fey's self-deprecating voice narrate her own words.A pleasant little book I love Tina Fey, she is the greatest. I expected this book to be the greatest. It reads like you are sitting with her in a bar and she is telling you little stories from her life. As stories in a bar tend to go, some are far wittier and more interesting than others. It is a pleasant little book that is about as deep as most SNL skits. If you can buy it at a discount, as I did, then it's a quick read and will bring a few laughs, and enough smiles to justify a couple of hours of reading.
