I listened to this book, and I have to say...when "reading" a memoir, try to listen to it if it's read by the author. It makes the book so much more...awesome. I've listened to Frank McCourt read Angela's Ashes, Augusten Burroughs read Running with Scissors... It just makes the whole thing seem more real and interesting.
This book was soooo good. Sometimes comedians fill their books with one-liners that are just missing the bumdum ching! at the end, but not this book. This book is the story of Tina Fey, from childhood to present day. She talks about being a gawky teenager in love with her gay co-workers at a summer theater camp in a way that makes her so accessible. I really feel like we're the same person only she got a part in the high school play while I was cut and continued on my nerd-path with National Honor Society and French Club.
I would highly recommend reading (but really listening) to this book. I'm not sure if you have to be a fan on comedy and SNL, but I'm sure it helps. Tina Fey is who I want to be when I grow up...
