Resumen del Editor

Once in a generation a woman comes along who changes everything. Tina Fey is not that woman, but she met that woman once and acted weird around her.

Before 30 Rock, Mean Girls, and 'Sarah Palin', Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV. She has seen both these dreams come true.

At last, Tina Fey's story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon - from the beginning of this paragraph to this final sentence.

Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've all suspected: you're no one until someone calls you bossy.

Don't listen to this on the train!

If you could sum up Bossypants in three words, what would they be?

Pants wetting funny!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tina is unabashedly truthful and that is why this audio book is so funny.

Any additional comments?

This audio book had me in stitches. I frequently got strange looks from people on the train when I either laughed out loud or was crying in an attempt to keep the laughter in.

Worth the price just to hear Tina do the narration

Okay, so I was already a Tina Fey fan, but this book just made me a bigger fan. Even if you have the hard copy book, this audio book is worth the price just to hear Tina Fey read it.

Very entertaining book.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. I'm only selectively read biographies, and Tina Fey's book was a very entertaining story from start to finish. Her reading of the book was a big bonus for me, and really made her stories all the more memorable.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tina Fey of course! :-)

Fun and funny

Funny, light entertainment. Its almost like you're out to lunch with Tina Fey. Great fun.

Absolutely delightful

Loved this audio book and Tina Fey reads it with great style. She is definitely a great role model for women everywhere!

Hilarious insight into the life of a Bossypants

What made the experience of listening to Bossypants the most enjoyable?

Tina Feys comedic timing really enhances the telling of her own story. If you love 30 Rock, you'll listen to this at least 3 times.

What did you like best about this story?

Tina's life as a teenage girl and how she was introduced and fell in love with live theatre, acting and putting on a good show and as she got older, learning about what it means to be seen as an ambitious career woman in a male dominated industry. Many tongue in cheek moments.

What about Tina Fey’s performance did you like?

You can tell how much work she put into this book and how passionate she is about her family, friends and work. Her execution was well timed and fricken hilarious.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Bossypants is a hilarious look at the life of an improv queen battling crotch biscuits and many more of life's challenges one laugh at a time.

No PDF??

A very funny book probably enhanced by Tina's narration. The only thing that disappointed was that it wasn't longer, and that the frequently referred to PDF doesn't seem to appear with this version - I see that there's an identical version not available to Australians which reviewers say the PDF appears in "My Library" as a link underneath the table, but no such luck with this version - why do we miss out??

It pays to have an insight into your boss's pants!

Would you listen to Bossypants again? Why?

No I would not listen to the story again, not in the near future anyway. It was good the first time and that suits me just fine.

What other book might you compare Bossypants to and why?

I'm new to audio listening and Bossypants has encouraged me to listen to more. A similar audio book would be Moranthology by Caitlin Moran which I'm slowly getting through.

Laugh out loud funny!

Where does Bossypants rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the best audiobooks I've listened to. Have been busted listening to it and laughing so hard that I've snorted!

What does Tina Fey bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Tina's narration is wonderful. Generous, self effacing & warm.

Tina Fey Does it Again!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely. I'm a huge Tina Fey fan and I wasn't let down.

What did you like best about this story?

Fey's honesty and her wicked sense of humour.

Which character – as performed by Tina Fey – was your favorite?

Herself, obviously!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When she was talking about her struggle with breastfeeding and being judged.

Any additional comments?

I'm a huge Tina Fey fan, so this was always going to be a winner for me and she didn't let me down!!
