fun read
Interesting look into the life of an artist that I admire. I am not myself born-in-america, or raised in the suburbs: it was a very interesting point of view to read. I loved her advice about succeeding at improvisation: it only takes up 2 pages, and has truly valuable advice for any person who works within a team.

Being Fey
In addition to the stories of growing up and becoming the woman that she is today, Fey shares applicable life tips. She is an opinionated feminist that is doing what she can to make this world a bit more bearable for women without being obnoxious about it.

Tina's a Boss!
I really liked Tina stories of growing up, high school, college, and growing into the writer she has become through her experiences at ImprovOlympic, SNL, 30Rock and Beyond. I will share it with others and certainly recommend it. #plumreview

It was okay
To start off, I am not the biggest fan of autobiographies unless they are very funny. In general, some chapters were a little boring. But I did learn a lot about Tina's role on SNL and 30 Rock. If you are a huge Tina Fey fan, you would probably enjoy this. However, not the greatest autobiography I have read before.

I thought it would be funnier
This was a good reflection of the improv comedy world, but I expected it to be far funnier than it was. In a very matter-of-fact style, Fey explores life, love and comedy, but the book lacks pizzazz.

Four stars because it's Tina Fey
Most books by stand-up comics and comedy actors have been ghost-written and, further, lose some of their punchiness in translation of the actor's energy to print. I rarely laughed out loud but this was an enjoyable quick read. Can only offer respect to Tina Fey. One of the better comedic nonfiction books I've read; if you're not expecting literature, it's a fun, light diversion for a few hours.

Tina Fey's life is like many others, in most respects at least, but the sheer cleverness and comedic genius brings things forth like mother one has before. There are laughs on every page it's simply one of those books that you can read over and over again! A definite read!

Not exactly what I was looking for
I love Tina Fey, she has always been one of the most relatable comedians for me and I have loved her on SNL, in movies, and especially admired works that she has written. For this reason, I had very high expectations for her book, but I was left a little disappointed. Honestly, I am a tough critic when it comes to autobiographies - these are my favourite type of books and i'm usually looking for some good drama. Yet, I found Fey's book to be a little underwhelming. Sure, I enjoyed hearing about her upbringing, her struggle to find stardom, and some of her hilariously entertaining thoughts and mishaps and all of this made for a great read. However, once I put it down I just felt like I wanted more - I respect the fact that not everyone (perhaps, most people) do not have some huge dramatic story of hardship or triumph. In fact, to be frank the fact that Tina Fey feels like a real person is why I love her so much. Nonetheless, I just felt like this book didn't give me what I was exactly looking for. Although, I still enjoyed the stories and comedy of the whole thing, which is ultimately why I decided on a 3-star rating.

I bought the audio-version of this book almost 7 years ago and it's still something I listen to at least once a year. There are hilarious childhood memories, great life lessons, and even though I'm not a 30 Rock fan I loved hearing the behind the scenes stories from the show.
This book empowers women while making them laugh, what else could you want?

Funny self-reflection on Fey’s life thus far
I really enjoyed reading Tina Fey’s hilarious book. I liked learning about her family, past job experiences, and her work on Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock. My favourite chapters were “That’s Don Fey,” “Sarah, Oprah, and Captain Hook,” and “There’s a Drunk Midget in My House.” She shares a lot of insights and isn’t afraid to include silly photographs of herself at various stages of her life. This book made me a bigger fan of hers for sure.

Not Quite What I Though It Would Be
Tina Fey is extremely intelligent and funny. Luckily this is evident in her writing (both in style and in content). Unfortunately, I picked up this book hoping for more insight into the industry/advice but my assumption was dead wrong. I was wrong to assume it was much more than stories about her time at SNL.

The book was more stories of things that have happened to her then doling out advise which I really liked. Definitely a keeper to read, and read again when you need a good real-life laugh.

I consider this to be a classic of the genre. Fey's insights felt fresh and so funny, and I especially loved her letter to her daughter. I've read many of the recently published humour books, and enjoyed them, but Bossypants stands out. In many ways, Fey opened the door for Mindy, Amy and Amy to publish their own works (among others - these are just the ones that came to mind first.) But more importantly, Fey's work is well-written and hilarious!

Having been a fan of Tina Fey's for quite a number of years now, I figured that I might as well pick up the book and give it a read. Boy, am I glad that I did! Once you pick it up it's very hard to put down and I wouldn't have it any other way. I found myself laughing all by my lonesome on the floor of Indigo but I didn't care how crazy I looked, I just couldn't help myself. It serves as a great insight into the crazy, wonderful and true mind of an extremely multi-talented woman who isn't afraid to tell you exactly how it is. Nothing is TMI.

If you're a fan of Tina Fey you'll love this book, like I did. Her story is inspirational but also still relatable. Her career and life advice is worth following, if you filter out the sarcasm and parts that are suppose to be taken as jokes.

Tina Fey is funny, open and honest in Bossy Pants. It was nice to see a different side of her and learn about her start in comedy, while also maintaining a hilarious tone throughout the book. #plumreview

Good Read
I love Tina Fey cause she's amazingly talented and hilarious, and I was super stoked to read her latest book. It was a good read, but I feel like it was over-hyped and perhaps my expectations were too high and I thought it would be funnier. .

Honest and Insightful
This is a memoir not a comedy book. I was interested in her rise and fight to get where she is today and I admire her for all she did. She was honest about her downfalls too, like stealing that YMCA job, which I appreciated because it made her more human to me.

Best Autobiography of Comedian...Ever.
I can say that with authority because I have ready quite a few - Amy Poehler, Steve Martin, David Spade...and I rate this the highest because it has everything I want in a bio. First and foremost - Tina's incredible wit shines through. She is so clever and it translates into this book. Second, the stories are interesting and revealing - she isn't just telling funny stories but telling her life through the funny stories. Third, I actually got some insight into the behind the scenes of the shows she was on. One reason I HATED Amy Poehler's book was it was so superficial. She was on SNL for almost 10 years and you get no idea of what being on SNL was like. Tina';s book gave me a glimpse into SNL, 30 Rock and who Tina is. Loved it.

A Few Laughs Along the Way
I read this book recently and I found that Fey's humour tends to lie towards the political side, which is fine, if your views are similar. She is entertaining, however, did not seem to grab my attention throughout the read. Still, I enjoy what she has to bring.

In Tina Fey's world
I love her sarcastic humor. This book really pulls you into her world growing up as well as her way up the comedy ladder. If you like anecdotal comedy books, this is a good one to add to your list!

I found this book inspiring as a career woman with some self doubt. Tina made me laugh, feel better about myself, and think. I also found her life to be fascinating in itself. I especially enjoyed this as an audio book for my commute. I did find it slow at points but otherwise hilarious.

Once I started I could not put this down! Its smart, funny, engaging and heart warming. The book is so well written you can become truly immersed in it and you can come out feeling like you just sat down with Tina Fey and had a one on one heart to heart conversation with her.

I bought htis book, after seeing another book that I enjoy reference its self as the "British Version" of Bossypants, and I really enjoy Tine Fey. I bought the book under the assumption that it was going to have a feminist thread, and while it did show up a few times, it wasn't a powerful part of the book.
On the other hand, it was Hilarious! I really enjoyed it, and wasn't let down. If you want something that makes you laugh with every other sentence, this is the book for you.

Hilarious, and endlessly quotable.
I love Bossypants. It is equal parts smart, touching, hilarious, and insightful. What's better, not only is Fey's talent as a comic writer highlighted in Bossypants, but her ability as an engaging storyteller really shines through as she describes her journey from Philly to Chicago to NYC. Time flies by while reading this book. Worthy of multiple reads, and multiple listens of the audiobook. You won't regret it.

Oy vey, Tina Fey -- Dropped the Ball
On the CBC I heard a book review on Tina Fey's book. The broadcaster said, she laughed out loud reading the book. I have many books that made me laugh out loud, Bossy Pants did not...But, now that I've said that, it did make me chuckle...I wanted to chuckle more.
The book did have funny parts in it, particularly when she was a little girl, growing up, going to school. When the book progressed to her career at Saturday Night Live, and 30 Rock, it was just boring. Yes, I really really wanted to like this book. Bossy Pants fell very short of my expectations.

What can you really say about an autobiography? It’s funny. It’s the story of Tina Fey and her interesting chronicle of becoming one of the funniest women writers in the business. It’s not a hard sell. If you love Tina Fey. Even if you only like Tina Fey, you will definitely enjoy this book.

Go Tina Fey
"Bossypants" is a fun read. I was really looking forward to a multitude of laughs but I have to say that I was slightly disappointed in that regard. There were definitely very funny sections but the book is not all laughs. Tina Fey's story and background insights into her own life were the most interesting parts for me. I appreciated reading her down to earth opinions of women's issues, the entertainment industry and relationships. From my reading perspective, Tina Fey, seems like the kind of boss or friend you would love to have. Kudos to her for writing a humorous and sincere account of her life so far.

As funny as always
Tina Fey is wonderfully, uproariously and irreverently funny in everything she does and this book is no different. She's the sort of writer I'd love to be. I found myself reading most of this book in her voice, with her timing and inflections, often erupting in fits of laughter that had my husband giving me strange looks from over his laptop.

I did find this book to be interesting but not all that funny. I was surprised that I never laughed out loud at this book considering Tina Fey is so funny. I have heard that the audio book is much better because she is delivering her jokes and they are not just lying flat on the page.

Tina makes the Book
I have to say, I really wanted to buy, read and love this book. In the end, I got the audio book and to the people who aren't getting a laugh out of it, you have to read it in Tina's voice. Her delivery is fantastic and I can imagine if I were reading the book - it would be kinda dry. Loving the audiobook though.

Not the best -- for fans of 30 Rock, perhaps?
I wanted to like this book. No, I wanted to love this book. I read so many great reviews on it and people were saying it was so hilarious. I was 46 on the waiting list for Bossypants at the library. Eventually I just bought the book myself because I wanted to laugh. I wanted to be that person on an airplane who is laughing hysterically. I was not that person. Maybe it’s because I had only seen Tina Fey in skits on Saturday Night Live. I heard of 30 Rock but hadn’t watched the show. Right from the start I realized that I shouldn’t have bought the book. Yes, there were parts that were funny, but only mildly so. I found myself forcing my way through the pages waiting for it to end. Don’t get me wrong, Tina Fey is a great writer and it was interesting to read how she got her start on SNL and 30 Rock, but this book just wasn’t for me. If you really want to read Bossypants, I would suggest giving the audio version a try. Maybe I read the whole thing wrong. It’s all in the delivery, you know.
