Book Review: Bossypants



I read Tina Fey’s book earlier this year and was really excited to read it.  I think Tina Fey has been hilariously funny on SNL as both an actor and a writer.  I also liked her comedy, “30 Rock”, for the first few seasons before it got all messy and weird.  Well, I should have kept that in mind before picking up Ms. Fey’s book.  I had such high hopes for it, but in many, many places, the book was very scattered.  It’s almost as if parts of the book were just following Ms. Fey’s train of thought down a long, winding path and actively tried to lose its readers.  These types of passages made me think of the last seasons of “30 Rock” and made me realize why they were as messy as they were – because that’s how the writers think, apparently.

There were some parts that were funny, but overall I was really disappointed in this book.  Considering Ms. Fey’s celebrated writing for TV, I was certainly expecting much more.
