Well let's just lay it out there... I am not the world's biggest Tina Fey fan. I never started watching 30 Rock even after it got super popular...and quite frankly I regret it. But that's not the point. The point is Tina Fey is both really funny, brutally honest and one tough chick. I listened to this as an audio book and I felt it added a little something since Tina read it herself. I should warn you the book is filled with funny flashback pictures that most famous people would be hiding from the press instead of self mocking and publishing for the world to see (apparently people took denim really seriously in the 80s) so you do loose out on that if you go audio - they do come as a pdf for your viewing pleasure. Tina doesn't hold anything back in this book - you are with her while she grows up, when she first struggles to get into comedy, her writing on SNL, her glorious Sarah Palin days and finally 30 Rock. I will be forever grateful to Tina for her hilariously honest descriptions of what fashion shoots are like, the reality that everyone looks like crap - even when you are taped into your outfit with professional hair and makeup you still get airbrushed to high hell so fear not regular people apparently famous people don't look like magazine covers in real life either. Thanks Tina for a bit of girl power and a genuinely funny read.
