Bossypants by Tina Fey

Reviewed by:  Dawn Dickey

Genre:  Autobiography

Suggested Age:  Adults

What is the book about?:  All about comedian, actor, writer, and producer Tina Fey, in her own words.

My Review:  I was looking for something funny to read, and Bossypants did not disappoint! I read some but mostly listened to the book, which was read aloud by Tina Fey herself. Her story was sometimes poignant but always humorous. Fey’s sharp wit shines through in her retelling of her adventures growing up and in her struggles in the workplace. I really like the fact that Fey opens up to us, the reader/listener, sharing wisdom she learned as a parent, a female in television and film, and as a boss in a very competitive field. I highly recommend this book, especially the audio version. You will laugh, you might groan – but you will enjoy the humor!

Three Words That Describe This Book:  Funny, authentic, sympathetic

Give This a Try if You Like… any of Tina Fey’s work such as 30 Rock or Sisters or Mean Girls or if you just like reading about television or film personalities

Rating:  5/5
