The book is more musings than memoir, although it does include slices of and anecdotes from the author's childhood, career and family life. There are even a couple of chapters devoted to her Sarah Palin skits for Saturday Night Live, including the full script of the first skit, the joint announcement of Sarah Palin and Hilary Clinton.
I am a big fan of 30 Rock and this book is a wonderful showcase of that style of humor. Very Tina. Highly recommended for an easy and very enjoyable summer read.
After finishing Bossypants, I had planned to move onto State of Wonder, the other book that arrived in the same delivery. But I got sidetracked by a book given to my husband by his "bro":
With Barney staring me down on the cover like that, how could I turn away?
I watched full seasons of How I Met Your Mother on DVD while I was pregnant with my younger daughter. Like the 10 seasons of Friends I went through with my first pregnancy, I believe in happy TV when pregnant (exception: Dexter). Neil Patrick Harris' character Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother is like Jeremy Piven's Ari Gold on Entourage. Both have just the right balance of cool/uncool to be endearing and attractive.
The Bro Code is "written by Barney Stinson", and I had my first out-loud guffaw even before page one: the book is dedicated "To Me, the best bro I know". Completely on character, this book is a great companion piece if you're a fan of the TV series.
