Review of 'Bossypants' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I knew Tina Fey was a genius, but I just had no idea she was SO funny. I wouldn't say this witty book is exactly a biography, but it's more of a collection of carefully chosen stories of her life - probably the ones that marked her the most - mixed with some topics she wanted to discuss as Photoshop or her Sarah Palin impersonation.

Those replies are gloriously funny! They start as serious replies and then crash down in a horrible accident that ends up in something like "Now go to bed, you crazy night owl!

I knew Tina Fey was a genius, but I just had no idea she was SO funny. I wouldn't say this witty book is exactly a biography, but it's more of a collection of carefully chosen stories of her life - probably the ones that marked her the most - mixed with some topics she wanted to discuss as Photoshop or her Sarah Palin impersonation. There's this bit where she decides to reply to some of her "fans" (as it is impolite not to do so) but what she actually does is replying to comments from websites like TMZ. Those replies are gloriously funny! They start as serious replies and then crash down in a horrible accident that ends up in something like "Now go to bed, you crazy night owl! You have to be at NASA early in the morning. So they can look for your penis with the Hubble telescope." I laughed out loud a lot while reading this book, which is just sad because it made my cough worse - though it was worth it. There are a lot of quotes from this book, but I'll just leave one my favourites: "Ah, babies! They’re more than just adorable little creatures on whom you can blame your farts".
Go ahead and read this book! It's a light read but it gives you an insight into female comedy and how it is to live with flat feet and thick eyebrows. Very well done!
