“The author’s narration of the audio version keeps the laughs coming…Her delivery and timing make it extra funny, with voices, impressions, and asides, as well as the audio from her famous depictions of Sarah Palin for SNL…Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

AudioFile

Spirited and whip-smart, these laugh-out-loud autobiographical essays are "a masterpiece" from the Emmy Award-winning actress and comedy writer known for 30 Rock, Mean Girls, and SNL" (Sunday Telegraph).

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 always 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!

    Funny stuff

    Tina Fey is as funny in this book as she has been in anything else. Hearing about her background was interesting, but I didn't even care much about the "memoir" stuff so much as her humorous quips. The few times I've watched 30 Rock I didn't like it all, but hearing Fey talk about the show actually made me consider giving it another chance. It was also nice to hear a celebrity talk about realizing how lucky they are to be where they are. Overall the book was worth it for the one-liners alone.

    Tina, you are marvellous!

    I haven't actually listened to the audiobook, but being that Tina wrote the title AND read it, I'm sure the audiobook is just as good as the eBook. Her stories come across just as funny and entertaining, yet real, as she comes across on our television screens. I actually feel like her and I have been friends for years after reading the book. Loved it!

    Possibly the funniest audiobook ... ever.

    I'm biased. I've been a big Tina Fey fan for a long time. And this audiobook only showcases how funny she really is. Here is her memoir ... or rather, a series of hilarious essays strung together to fit chronological timeline of her life. We already know she's a great writer, what with her work on SNL and 30 Rock, but she's also a fantastic narrator. Like any good improv theater geek, she can't quite stick to the written text, and the world should be thanking her for that. As far as the actual content, it's all top-notch. Her disastrous honeymoon aboard a cruise ship makes me giggle even as I type this. In short, this is an audiobook you simply can't miss—just be careful where you listen to it. My raucous laughter wasn't much appreciated by the guy on the treadmill next to mine.

    Add my glowing review to the list....

    Can anyone listen to Tina Fey and NOT laugh? This book is hilarious, smart, quippy writing delivered with amazing timing, a healthy dose of self deprecating sarcasm, and the ability to make fun other people and society without seeming mean-spirited or bitter. Bossypants is a wonderful blend of Tina's own stories and anecdotes along with intelligent jokes and the quirky humor that fans of 30 Rock, Mean Girls, and SNL know and love. She tries to downplay what a celebrity and writing talent she is with raves about her industry peers, but you're not fooling us Tina. LOVE this book, especially in audio.
