Story4.5 out of 5 stars 324
Rick Mercer can always be relied on to provoke a strong reaction - but what he said one fall day in 2017 truly shocked Canada. In a rant posted on social media, the great Canadian satirist announced loud and clear that the 15th season of the Rick Mercer Report - the nation's best-watched and best-loved comedy show - would be the last. This volume brings together never-before-published rants from the last five seasons of the show, plus a selection of the very best rants from earlier years.

Her conversational writing reminds us what we love about her on screens of all sizes.

Contagiously cheerful, predictably wholesome, and mostly inspiring except for one essay about her husband’s feet, My Squirrel Days is a funny, freewheeling tour of Ellie’s life - from growing up in suburban St. Louis with a vivid imagination and a crush on David Letterman to moving to Los Angeles and accidentally falling on Doris Kearns Goodwin.

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.

For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful 13-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims - a bit too strongly.

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! Love her!
The only reason I’m giving this 4 stars on performances is because the audio editing wasn’t very good... there are multiple false starts not edited out and many many times where the sound fades out on the last word of a sentence. It’s quite annoying. Tina Fey is awesome though! A very good story teller!

Not for my generation
The first few chapters of this book are filled with pop culture references from the 70's and 80's. Since I was born in the mid 80's, most of these flew right past me and I'm sure obscured some of the humor. If you're a baby boomer or Gen X, it might work for you, but I couldn't get past it. Maybe I'll finish listening if I have nothing else in my library, but it wasn't for me.
Also, a lot of the humor is based around being a nerdy, not attractive girl, and since I'm a guy, I couldn't really relate.

Can't anyone be funny without swearing? :(
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I didn't make it through the book...in fact I didn't listen to very much at all. I have small children and I prefer not to have swearing and F-bombs pop out while I'm listening in the house with them. So I'm sure that won't bother most, obviously she is very popular and good at what she does....it's just not for me. Wish I had returned the book when I could have. Oh well.

High expectations not met
Is there anything you would change about this book?
If there was anything I would change about this book, it would be the flow of events in her book. I would have appreciated it more if she did not jump around too much when telling her story.
Has Bossypants turned you off from other books in this genre?
Bossypants might have made me realize that this type of genre is not for me but I think I would still try out another book just to make sure.
What three words best describe Tina Fey’s voice?
Three words to describe Tina Fey's voice are quirky, upbeat and supportive.
Did Bossypants inspire you to do anything?
Bossypants inspired me to never apologize for who I am and not to care of what other people thought of me. As long as I know that what I want, go for it and do not look back.
Any additional comments?
I downloaded the standard quality audiobook in my iPhone and was distracted with the slight echo quality while listening.

Not what I was expecting
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Not sure what I was expecting ... I actually read the e-book, instead of listening to this one; while it was fun to read her perspective of how she got to where she is now. I was always a fan of her writing and her news on SNL. I think she is very funny and witty; 30 Rock is great, I watch it regularly, but this book was almost more like sitting down to lunch with Tina and she answered the question

with all the publicity surrounding the book and my love for Tina Fey, I was disappointed with this book.

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.

Disappointing
I gave the book 2 stars because, as much as I love Tine Fey, her narration was disappointing. Her reading sounded rushed, humorless, and overall negative- in a self-deprecating sort of way. I think I would have enjoyed the book much better had I read it instead of listening to it.

A Great Disappointment
Would you try another book from Tina Fey and/or Tina Fey?
Probably if it was a book ofher ccomedy routines.
Would you ever listen to anything by Tina Fey again?
Yes
How did the narrator detract from the book?
It sounded like she was reading as fast as she could just to get through the book
Any additional comments?
First I love Tina Fey as a commedian and actor. I was really looking forward to listening to her book especially after all the glowing Audible reviews it received. What I found was a crude attempt at humor by a reader who was exploiting her name. It soon became boring and repetitious. What a shame.

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.

Tina Fey is bossy and wears pants
this review will have fifteen words just to satisfy the nerd who made that requirement
