While I'm sure reading a paper copy of this book would have tickled me, the audio version with Tina's narration had me absolutely cracking up. I would listen to it more than once!

Surprisingly good. For whatever reason I thought it would be boring and a lot of whatever but it was none of that. I’ve always been a Tina fan and I now see her in a different light. She’s funny, interesting and real. She’s the type of person I could listen to tell her stories all the time. Definitely will recommend. Can't wait for a second book.

Tina Fey has a great sense of humor and this was a great autobiography / humor book. So nice that she narrated the audiobook herself. I really loved the behind the scenes details of her work at Second City, SNL, thoughts on motherhood, and especially her reaction to the Sara Palin parodies.

Tina is the boss. She gets my respect! But she is much funnier in person (on TV) than in this audiobook -- I didn't get it.

Tina Fey's narration of Bossypants had me laughing out loud. I can relate to her description of Don Fey, her father, and felt it to be one of the funnier parts of the book. Actually listened to the book twice-and I have never desired to do so with any other audiobook. Highly enjoyable, in the Bill Bryson style.

My book club chose this as a summer light read. I ended up getting the audiobook version and am so glad that I did! Tine Fey is so funny and to hear her narrating her own story made it that much more entertaining. I will caution you that there is some off color language and stories so I never listened to it with my kids in the car. I haven't been a regular watcher of 30Rock but now I have to check it out.

What can I say about Bossypants? It was midly interesting but not exceptionally so, with nothing really worth re-telling… Or so I thought, until I was awkwardly discussing overprotective parents with my boss's mother, and had the perfect anecdote to use to discuss moms' avoidance of confrontation with caregivers. Which isn't really a situation I ever expected to be in, so it was a nice anecdote to have in the arsenal. Beyond that, though? The book really seemed like Fey was trying too hard, like she hadn't really wanted to/felt comfortable with telling her story, and now that she was it was she was approaching it with gritted teeth. The shift from "I was an awkward kid" to "here is how I live my fancy lady life" seemed large - while she was trying to convince us that her fancy lady life is a ruse, she also seemed to make a huge distinction on her own of pre- and post- "success." When I was searching for that quote about how old you should be before you write a memoir (obviously I didn't find it), I came across an article with the line "Sticking to a certain type of memoir can help to keep your story focused and organized. You will also have a definite framework for your writing, which will help with the writing process." Indeed. The article, (http://suite101.com/article/five-types-of-memoirs-a341145) lists five kinds of memoir: Survivor, Confession, Coming of age, Second Coming of age, and Travel. Fey's book touches on all of these topics, and never finds a central point… she touches back to "bossypants" but never manages to build it into a central theme. Still, listening to the book on my commute kept me mildly entertained… and I guess that's the point.

I laughed out loud a lot. I even had a hard time stopping the laughter. I laughed later when I thought about it again. She's telling stories from her life and work, and they are very well told.

Warning: listening to the audio book in public will cause you to laugh out loud. Not only a 'warts-and-all' memoir, but it's actually mostly warts. All our very common human foibles are rich fodder for Fey's comic genius, both as a writer and performer. I've loved her on 30 Rock, but this book has made me devlop a serious girl-crush. And now I know about her facial scar, which I never really noticed before. Great book for a summer read or anytime you need a good reminder that we need to laugh more at our own shortcomings. Hope she has another book in the works.

If you're a Tina Fey fan, stick with listening to the book! It's a much more dynamic experience hearing Tina's trademark snarkiness and her comedic timing. LOL!
