Bossypants was a fun read, although a little disjointed in its sections. The first part of this biography described Tina Fey's childhood and early years in improv. I really enjoyed her lists and stories about her life. The middle section wasn't my favorite. That's when she went into detail about her work on '30 Rock', a show I don't particularly care for - mostly because of my general 'eh' feelings toward Alec Baldwin (and that I find Tracy Morgan really annoying). The sections describing her role as Sarah Palin on SNL were pretty funny, and the final chapters about motherhood were priceless. As the newest pregnant member of book club (yup - that makes 4 of us!), I personally related to her poem, "The Mother's Prayer for Its Daughter" - even though I don't yet know if I am having a daughter, the sentiment is the same.
I believe Tina Fey is good mother, a good comedian, and an all around good, relatable person.
Also, our book club is growing! We've got a new member (a new mom to help all us moms-in-training). Welcome, newbie!
