Overview

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!)

I just don't find Tina Fey funny I guess, I didn't laugh once on the first 2 CD's and found her life to be very uninteresting.

Just as funny as she is on TV. Ineterestin g to learn the background of some of her sketches and how she forms ideas.

Laugh out loud

I had wanted to read this book for some time. When I signed up for Simply Audio is was the first book to go in my bookshelf. Tina Fey is a nut and she tells it how she sees it. If you are looking for a great reason to laugh out loud while stopped at a red light, this book is for you. You will not be dissapointed.

Very enjoyable book to listen to! Laughed out loud numerous times. Loved the part when she talked about her dad - Don Fey - and working in the YMCA.

Very good. Listened to it while alternating with another, heavier book about serial killers. It was just what I needed to make me laugh out loud and pull me out of the dark place the other book had put me into. Also had some surprising nuggets of good advice and real wisdom artfully woven into this highly memorable, and very relatable piece. Tina Fey reading it made it even better. Highly recommend!

I LOVED this book! A friend recommended and Tina Fey, as always, doesn\'t disappoint! I found that if I wasn\'t listening to her narrate the book and was, instead, reading it, I wouldn\'t have been able to do it justice as she did. She emphasized where she meant to and whispered where she meant to and it all added up to a fun, enjoyable listening experience. Highly recommend and especially in audiobook format!

It was okay but I lost interest after a while. Narration was alright but I just didn't think it was hilarious. I guess just not my kind of humor.

The book is wonderfully entertaining. It is one of those delicious books that is genuinely better read aloud. I would sincerely recommend this book, especially as an audiobook.
