       I love Tina Fey and I think she is a great writer of Jokes as
       well as stories in general. So I had very high hopes for
       Bossypants. Boy, was I ever let down. The overall take on the
       book reads more like a series of short stories than an actual
       memoir. This is how I perceived it anyway. I really didn't learn
       much of who she really is because from reading the book, it
       seemed like she was always playing a "character" or trying to be
       "on" as a comedian to never reveal too much. I dunno, I expected
       a lot here and didn't really get what I was coming for.
       And the book (her) really didn't give me any laugh out loud
       moments I was hoping for. There is a good bit of filler pages
       here as well, reprinting skits or jokes by other writers that
       she is proud of or just thought funny enough to...reprint.
       Her SNL days seemed to be glossed over quite a bit, but her
       "Sarah Palin" skits do get more behind the scenes as well as her
       time on 30 Rock, which was interesting. But this is definitely a
       Rent-from-the-Library book, not one that I would shell out hard
       earned money for.
       I still love you Tina, just not the book to where I keep as a
       permanent member of my personal library. Sorry. Because I love
       you still, I'm giving this book a very generous half star more.

       I may pick this up some time, but typically I am more interested
       in the stories of person and how they come to be. Steve Martin's
       biography does this very well and in an entertaining way.
