Kindle book dropped to $5.99 so I am reposting the review.
Takeaway: Funny memoir, and surprisingly insightful discussion about the role of women in entertainment.
Tina Fey is a great writer. I have never watched that much Saturday Night Life. It is past my bed time (I usually wake up between 5 and 6 even on weekends. Yes I am an old man.) And I have never watched 30 Rock (although I am going to try it out after reading this book.)
But I have seen enough of Tina Fey that I was interested. My Sister-in-Law passed on the hardcover months ago after she read it, but it was a hard cover and I never got to it. Last week I picked up a free audiobook in a promotion (the promotion is dead now) and decided to listen to it as a change of pace.
I finished it in less than 24 hours. It is not long, less than 6 hours unabridged. But it is read by Tina Fey and she does a good job acknowledging that she is performing an audiobook, not just blandly reading the text. There is even the audio clip of her first Sarah Palin SNL skit. I love authors that read their own audiobooks. The vast majority of the time it is so much better than a random narrator.
