Rated Bossypants 8/10

Such a fun book. From the reviews I've read of it and comments I've seen of some of Fey's work and quotes, some people just don't get her dry, sarcastic, caustic humor. I'm not sure what others expected from this. Some sort of tell-all? I think it was written very much in her voice and I found it very hilarious. She also has a lot to say as a liberal, feminist, middle-class woman with which I would of course agree, considering myself those things as well. I remember seeing a comment on the internet that they had expected from her more (any?) views on working as a writer and comedian. I don't know what book they read, but it wasn't this one. The book is riddled with this with stories starting around college and doing improv to the near-present where she agonized over a seond pregnancy because 200+ people depend on her working to pay the bills, a financial concern she fortunately doesn't have anymore. Perhaps because she said all of it in a humorous way? I don't know, but I think that's the best way to cover serious subjects, a spoonful of honey helps the medicine go down.
