Book Review: "Bossypants" By: Tina Fey
About the Author: Tina Fey is a well-known t.v. writer. She has written for Saturday Night Live, which she was also a cast member, and she wrote for her own show on NBC, "30 Rock". "30 Rock" has been critically acclaimed and pretty popular. Her other widely known achievement was the movie "Mean Girls", starring Lindsay Lohan.
Short Summary of the Book (Spoiler-Free): Tina recounts her early years in a hilarious fashion and goes through several experiences that lead her into adulthood, along with some random personal insights she has regarding women in society. It's both a memoir and Tina's random thoughts and opinions written out on paper
My Opinion: I thought this book was fantastic. It's painfully honest and blunt, and Tina Fey offers up several pearls of wisdom carefully hidden in funny jokes. Everyone should take a crack at this book, man or woman. Yes, it leans in the direction of being a chick book, but there is some edginess to the humor and several stories she tells about her dad and husband are touching.
Funny quotes: "You could put a blond wig on a hot-water heater and some dude would try to fuck it."
" We should leave people alone about their weight. Being chubby for a while (provided you don't give yourself diabetes) is a natural phase of life and nothing to be ashamed of. Like puberty or slowly turning into a Republican."
" Ah babies! They're more than just adorable little creatures on whom you can blame your farts."
