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!)
First, I will commend myself for listening to this book. I am a fiction reader, so this was out of my comfort zone, but hey, that's why I do these reading challenges.
With that said, I could not have made a better choice, as Tina Fey brought the funny. I knew it would be funny, but it was also thought provoking. In her stream of consciousness she touched upon so many things that I could relate to: being a woman, being a mother, being a wife, being a daughter. I especially loved the parts of her childhood Fey chose to share. She is about the same age as me, so I found myself nodding my head in agreement, and smiling as she reminisced.
