RaveNPR\"Bossypants is not so much a memoir as it is a sort of here\'s-what-happened-and-why-I think-this kind of book. It\'s honest and intimate, without any maudlin tales of childhood sorrow, no extraneous snark or hit-and-run tell-all gossip. It\'s just a great read from a mature thinker ... Particularly hilarious were the chapters on her honeymoon and having a child — again thankfully devoid of hackneyed sentiment. Another area of interest to me was Tina\'s discussion of what happened when she impersonated Sarah Palin on SNL and became a target of ill-founded wrath. Regrettably, it\'s always been easy to marshal cultural hostility toward women ... It is difficult to be a woman or a person of color in the entertainment industry, but this book is not about that. Tina Fey is part of a generation of women who have changed the face of comedy at Second City, SNL, in sitcoms and in film. In front of and behind the camera. And that is my book review.
