People read memoirs for different reasons, but usually the common attraction to the genre is that they want a personal  insight into who the author really is on the inside. Tina Fey's Bossypants delivers that personal quality that readers are hungry for in, of course, a completely entertaining, hilarious way. Who'd expect any less, right?

For those who fell in love with Fey's consistently witty performances on Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock, Bossypants is a must-read. If you're looking for a tear-jerker, gossip-fest or tale of heroics, you may very well be disappointed. Tina Fey's just not that kind of girl.

She is, however, an amazing entertainer, on screen and in print. In her memoir, she recounts personal stories, shares genuine opinions and keeps you thinking and laughing from beginning to end.

One of the things I admire most about Tina Fey's memoir is her writing style itself. Not only has she handpicked some truly interesting and thought-provoking stories and ideas from different experiences and periods of her life, but each chapter can stand alone as a thoroughly engaging essay.

When my wife brought Bossypants home, I rolled my eyes and muttered, “Oh man, another chick memoir.” It was hard to ignore the praise she unintentionally gave the book just by the sheer number of belly laughs coming from her side of the bed. It was a pleasant departure from the sounds of tissues being pulled from a box and soft sobs of empathy I've become accustomed to when she's in a memoir mood.

Needless to say, her laughter was all the endorsement I needed to pick the book up myself, and I'm happy I did. It was a great read, and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes Tina Fey or humorous memoirs.
