At last, the full story behind Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman's epic romance, including stories, portraits, and the occasional puzzle. How did they do it? They came from completely different families, endured a significant age difference, and were separated by the gulf of several social strata. Megan loved books and art history; Nick loved hammers. But much more than these seemingly unsurpassable obstacles were the values they held in common: respect, decency, the ability to mention genitalia in almost any context, and an abiding obsession with the songs of Tom Waits.

From breakout stand-up comedian Iliza Shlesinger comes a subversively funny collection of essays and observations on a confident woman's approach to friendship, singlehood, and relationships. "Girl Logic" is Iliza's term for the way women obsess over details and situations that men don't necessarily even notice. She describes it as a characteristically female way of thinking that appears to be contradictory and circuitous but is actually a complicated and highly evolved way of looking at the world.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3
Ellen DeGeneres published her first book of comic essays, the #1 best selling My Point...and I Do Have One, way back in 1996. Not one to rest on her laurels, the witty star of stage and screen has since dedicated her life to writing a hilarious new book. That book is this audiobook.
Publisher's Summary
Before Liz Lemon, before "Weekend Update", before "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 of those 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.
Includes special, never-before-solicited opinions on breastfeeding, princesses, Photoshop, the electoral process, and Italian rum cake!

Very entertaining. I look forward to Tina's next book, when she can or may share more. To be honest, occasionally throughout the book I felt like maybe it was just a promotion for 30 Rock. I truly enjoyed and appreciated Tina's depiction of her father. Totally worth the listen. Please write more, Tina.

Dreadful. Absolutely awful.
Tina should be required to provide compensation to all listeners. if you are considering a purchase because you believe (like I did) that it will be funny because Tina Fey is the author then, restrain yourself.
This is the worst audio book I listened to in years.

Boring As F**k
Would you try another book from Tina Fey and/or Tina Fey?
Hell No!
What do you think your next listen will be?
Yes Please
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Tina Fey?
Dont even care
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Bossypants?
The Book
Any additional comments?
OMG! All the good reviews had me thinking I was in for a real treat. NOT! What the hell!? This book was so boring. It's like this, if you are a hard critic when it comes to comedy, you will not like this book. But if you are easily amused, go for it. I really wish I could get my money back.

I expected more, actually.
What did you like best about Bossypants? What did you like least?
Tina was funny, but not as funny as I had expected. What is your target audience, Tina? I couldn't find myself in it. A little heavy on the feminism preaching, but I get it. Also, the editor dropped the ball by allowing Tina to begin talking rapidly at the end of some phrases for the effect of muttering under her breath. It was impossible to understand these phrases.
What was most disappointing about Tina Fey’s story?
Nothing was really disappointing, although some parts lacked substance. I expected to laugh out loud more than once. I didn't.
What three words best describe Tina Fey’s voice?
Kitten with whip.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Nope.

Wanted to like it
Unfortunately this book is neither funny, nor informative. I wanted to like it, but whenever you'd think she'd reveal something insightful about the business she's working in, or her view of life in general, she proceeds to make light of it right away, as if she never meant the prior sentence at all.

So boring I couldn't finish it
Would you try another book from Tina Fey and/or Tina Fey?
No
What was most disappointing about Tina Fey’s story?
She had a really normal life. Let's face it, most of our lives aren't really that interesting. And her storytelling isn't all that great. She needed 30 Rock writers to work on it.
Would you be willing to try another one of Tina Fey’s performances?
No, she was weak and tried too hard. Like Alec Baldwin as the Oscars host.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
disappointment. :(
Any additional comments?
I have no idea why some people found it so funny. Listen to the sample and decide.

Overrated and exhausting
Would you try another book from Tina Fey and/or Tina Fey?
Although funny in short doses (i.e. SNL skits) Tina's "schtick" and way of speaking/ punchline delivery gets tiresome and predictable after several hours of listening. If she had toned it down I might have been able to get through the book. As it was, I had to stop listening. Not sure why it got all the great reviews.

Beware of crude humor and foul language
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
She has talent and a great sense of humor. Why does she have to be so crude and use foul language? I saw the extremely high ratings and bought it, then began listening to it with others around and nearly broke my leg trying to get to my computer to turn it off when the crude language began. Is it just so part of everyone's life that it's not a big deal anymore? Sorry, it's not my thing and I wish it would have contained a warning saying, "Explicit language".

Bof.
La manière totalement aléatoire de séparer le livre en 77 chapitres n'était pas du tout pratique.
De plus, les anecdotes de sa vie personnelle étaient trop nombreuses par rapport à celle concernant sa carrière/vie professionnelle. Dommage, car Tina Fey est une actrice intéressante que j'aime beaucoup.
