I love to laugh. I also love reading autobiographies. So when Tina Fey's new book Bossypants was released, I immediately added it to the top of my queue. I was already a huge fan, so I knew the book would be life changing. Plus, I had a credit that needed to be used.
The book is short and an easy read. Of course, I actually listened to the audiobook version of this book, which I feel is significant because: a) Tina reads the book herself and b) the reading of the book was geared towards audio, and there were obvious tweaks to the story geared at people listening rather than reading. If you are thinking about trying an audiobook, this is a great one to start with.

The book takes you from Tina's beginnings in college theater, through her time at SNL and 30 Rock. She gives a lot of behind the scenes details that are very interesting if you have watched her shows. She explains how she came to play Sara Palin on the famous SNL political skits, and what it was like meeting her in person. Most importantly, she discusses how she balances her personal life as a wife and mother with her hectic work schedule. She made me laugh pretty much the entire time.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. I enjoy her sarcastic wit, and there is nothing I would change about the book at all. In fact, I was kinda sad when it was over. Next up, Lies Chelsea Handler Told Me. I can't wait, because I just love her too!
