Bossypants by Tina Fey

Bossypants

by Tina Fey

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!)

It's not often the author can do justice to the narration of their book, but Tina Fey does an excellent job and I'd argue that she's the only one that could.

This is an excellent "read" (listen) that had me laughing out loud and giggling while driving in rush hour traffic - a feat I wouldn't have believed possible without threat of a DUI... Highly recommend to just about anyone (except those that are offended by colourful language).
