Executive Summary: This was interesting and at times funny, but not as interesting or as funny as I hoped.

Full Review
I really like Tina Fey, though mostly from her writing and her work on Weekend Update for SNL. I never got into 30 Rock for whatever reason. I also enjoyed Unbreakable Kimmie Schmidt which she co-created.

I picked this book up thinking it would be interesting and funny. In particular I was expecting the story of how Ms. Fey rose to fame. There is some of that here, but not enough for my liking. She talked about a lot of random things like photo shoots and beauty tips. I'm not sure if that was meant as satire, or just something I didn't understand because I'm not a woman.

I felt like she glossed over details about how she got to Second City and how she got there to SNL. She covered her time at SNL and 30 Rock decently enough. What I discovered is I have very little in common with Ms. Fey, which maybe made it harder for this book to hold my attention.

She's had to deal with a lot of crap during her rise, and is continuing to deal with it from the sounds of things. I hope her efforts will make it easier for those who come after her, because I still find her interesting and funny despite not loving this book. I will likely check out anything she's involved with.
