Bossypants, Tina Fey (4)
One of the things I enjoyed about this book (besides the many laughing-out-loud moments) was how authentic Tina Fey comes across. Many famous, talented people talk about their slice of life moments, but you can read the nanny-money-solves-all-problems between the lines. With Tina, it is easy to see her awkwardness as a child, dealing with issues of a woman in a traditionally male role, and as a new mom struggling with breast-feeding. In her usual clever, funny, self-deprecating way, she describes everyday issues many of us have faced. I guess that will make reading this book slightly cathartic for most people. While the book is pointed more towards women, her tales of SNL and responses to her critics (the Chapter ‘Dear Internet’ is exquisite!), can be enjoyed by all. For a comic who had a witty pen, but was never a chameleon known for her impressions, who knew there would be the uncanny resemblance to a short-term political firework? Get read to laugh and enjoy.
