Book Review: Bossypants

by: Tina Fey

Just reading the book jacket I knew picking this up was a great choice:

"I hope that's not really the cover. That's really going to hurt sales."
-Don Fey, Father of Tina Fey

"Absolutely delicious!"
-A Guy Who Eats Books

"Totally worth it."
-Trees

"Do not print this glowing recommendation of Tina Fey's book until I've been dead a hundred years."
-Mark Twain

Bossypants is a hilarious look back at the life of comedienne Tina Fey through her own words. We get all her thoughts and reflections along the way, which with the help of time, can now find the humor in so many things.

As head writer of Saturday Night Live, Fey was able to craft the art of the ridiculous and this book is a testament to that. It doesn’t feel forced; the laughs are real and you can sense that she is laughing -- at herself -- right there with you.

This book is a genuinely good time although it definitely skews to the female perspective. It is still enjoyable for the male population (as I can attest) but during certain anecdotes there is a sense of detachment.
