I love this book because the characters are very detailed and even though it is an autobiography every characters Tina Fey mentions in the book has a back-story. For example before she got famous she worked at a YMCA and one of her coworkers named Nancy. Nancy was an obese woman who complained about every thing but when Tina fey tried to complain to her she would always get mad at Tina. Nancy was such a small role in her life but Tina fey added so much detail to her character. I keep reading this book because I love hearing about Tina fey's personal life instead of the characters on the stage that she play. I think it is working really well for me since I really like to hear about Tina fey's life so it’s an awesome fun read for me. There are little boring bits like in most books but she does it to explain more about what’s going on. Also because she is such a great writer she makes the boring bits funny, entertaining and exiting. For example when she was talking about fashion and cream to make your face feel nice I thought it was going to be boring but since she is such a good writer she made it funny by talking about what she looked like in high school. I picked this book because I was looking for books to read and I saw this one and I knew I would like it because I love Tina fey and like I said before hearing the back-story of someone’s life is fun for me. My favorite type of book is funny books that’s are interesting and have twists. I think I like these kinds of books because I love to laugh, I also love to be interested and I love to have sudden twists in the story to keep interested.
I read this book over my daughter's shoulder on the plane to Boston last spring, and I laughed until I cried. Tina Fey has a wonderful way of looking at the world, and I'd agree, it may have something to do with the fact that she sees the back story in every person who is a port of her life.
ReplyDeleteNeedless to say, having a mother laughing out loud over her shoulder was not exactly what my daughter had in mind as far as quiet airplane reading. So, I admit to not being able to read all of the book as she kept shifting so I couldn't see the book. I was pretty tricky though and saw much of it. Still, I should find a copy and read the while thing, yes?
