A friend recommended Tina Fey's memoir, Bossypants, to me. I needed something light-hearted and fun after reading Winter's Bone, and I happen to really enjoy Tina Fey, so I scooped this one up without being asked twice. I'm glad I did. This book was exactly what I needed.Bossypants covers Tina Fey's life from briefly touching on the childhood attack that resulted in the scar across her jaw line to her love of improv, experiences with Saturday Night Live, being the "bossypants" at 30 Rock, and parenting. This book threw me into fits of giggles and I was sad when it ended. I gave it a Goodreads rating of five stars. She's no Augusten Burroughs, but she is still absolutely wonderful and I can imagine reading this book again and again.
This book will obviously not appeal to the extreme conservative or anti-feminist. That's cool with me. I felt like through reading this book, Tina Fey and I were pals. We have a TON of the same views on things and in a different world I'll bet we'd hang out together. This book was totally fun and I loved it. I gained a new appreciation for "that funny girl who looks a little bit like Sarah Palin". (Although, in my opinion, Tina Fey is way prettier than Palin.)
Definitely a worthwhile read, and exactly what I needed after the painfully dry experience of reading Winter's Bone. Now I can move on with my life (and my reading challenge). :)
