I really enjoyed this book; its the perfect book for vacation. I strongly recommend getting the audiobook version, as its read by Tina Fey, and she occasionally makes comments that aren't in the print version. I'm only giving in 4 stars (well, maybe 3.5) because in general, I don't see the point in most celebrity memoirs, but this was more of a collection of humorous essays based on her life. ...more

Consistently funny, and periodically very feminist and pretty insightful. Made me want to watch 30 Rock just so I could cheer for her.

This was a quick and easy read of vignettes/memories chosen from Tina Fey's life that both entertain and illustrate the beliefs she holds as a result of her career and, to a lesser extent, personal life.

I had hoped it would be funnier, but never produced the laughs I imagined Tina Fey could elicit.

Does it count as read if you listened to it on Audio? With Tina Fey reading it, I have no regrets.

Funny and occasionally touching and/or empowering, this feels more like a chat with the author than your average autobiography...but I don't care. We're like totally best friends now.

Even better than I expected. My favorite parts were the parts about how Amy Poehler is awesome. Lady BFFs forever!

The story of a girl from the Main Line, with a couple of Chilean miner jokes thrown in, and I was hooked.
