Good, enjoyable book. I didn't expect much, but the first quarter or so of this book is pretty rough. The problem with memoirs, sometimes, is specifically celebrities, just think anything about their lives is more interesting than anyone else. That's not automatically true. Tina struggling with awkward friend relationships between gay guys, and basically anything in this book before she got into the comedy business, just isn't interesting. My favorite autobiographies, Bob Cranstons and Malcolm X's, both understand that they aren't going to be interesting just because of who they are. Their lives have to be interesting. And Tina Fey's caterer is interesting, so does her personal life during her career, but you gotta kind of choose what is interesting about your life and what isn't. I think this book is too much of a diary, than memoir at times. But, Tina Fey is funny. And even though I'm an avid SNL hater (but 30 Rock fan), the SNL stuff is very interesting. And when she dives into motherhood and sexism in the last part of the book, it has very little to do with her career, and manages to be interesting.
