Emilie: In this book, Tina fey proved once and for all that she is a comedy genius. I was hooked from beginning to end and laughed the whole way through. Maybe one of the best book I ever read.

Patricia Bridge: In this humorous memoir, Tina Fey writes about a plethora of topics and stories, all the way from her childhood in Pennsylvania, to her starting her comedy career in Chicago, to her success all over the world. By telling her own stories with witty commentary, Fey also provides a lot of advice about femininity, love, career, and growing up. It is incredibly engaging right off the bat. The cover of the book pictures Fey with a suit, tie, bowler hat, and two large male hands holding her head up. This gives the reader a good idea of the central themes of the book. Fey is one of the most prominent females in the industry, and was a pioneer for women in comedy. The cover is not only humorous, but can be considered commentary about how she is in a very male dominated field. Even the title, “bossypants” is a funny yet accurate representation of Fey’s life. Fey also does a good job of engaging the reader with the first page. With the first line reading “welcome friend”, Fey establishes a very casual tone that makes you feel as if she is a dear companion or an older sister writing to you. She cracks a few jokes, asking the reader why they bought the book. This also says a lot...

Oh, Tina Fey ... You are pretty freaking awesome.

I have to say, I started this book on my Kindle and did the whole Whispersync for Voice thing, where I'd switch over to the audiobook whenever I ran a quick errand or was doing a mindless task. I honestly wasn't sure how I'd like switching back and forth between print and audio, but for a book like this one, it worked great. And because I'd split my time between the two formats, I can say without a single doubt that BOSSYPANTS is waaaaayy better heard than read.

The book starts out as a collection of short stories or essays, detailing some random events in Fey`s childhood, high school, and college years. And when I say "random," I truly mean RANDOM. In fact, I found myself getting easily distracted during the early part of the book. The chapters were disjointed and less funny than I'd expected. Fey had a fairly "normal" upbringing and experience growing up, and as great as that is for her as a person, it doesn't make for good comedy. (It'd be like me telling all of you random stories from my childhood, high school, and college years....
