Publisher Comments:

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 )

Being in law school, I don't get the chance to read for fun very much. So when free time opens up, I try to choose wisely. "Bossypants" was the best damn choice I made last year. I don't know if it was just comparatively witty and spit-coffee-on-my-book funny when stacked up against mandatory readings of federal income taxation, but I never wanted "Bossypants" to end. If you can manage to read the entire thing with Tina Fey's voice in your head, you will not be disappointed. It's a book that's a little bit of everything all at once (comedy, advice, autobiography), and that was just fine by me. It's short, so pace yourself to make the magic last longer. Also, your face will hurt from laughing so it's not a bad idea to take some breaks.

Bossypants by Tina Fey

I love her awesome wit about life. Bossypants is a short book about life that is both serious and funny. She also is very effective in getting her political point across. She has proven that you are no one until someone has called you bossy. You know it is a great book when you do not know if you should laugh or cry.

Laugh out loud funny, poignant, endearing, neurotic, and insightful. After listening to me chuckle/snort my way through this book, my daughters (ages 18 and 25) resorted to Rock Paper Scissors to determine who would read it next. They both loved it as well.
