I decided to listen to this book rather than read it because i thought Bossypants was so much better in audio format, and i'm glad i did. Amy Poehler is the cooler, more in-your-face funny lady in the reigning comedy duo--which is not to say that she's my favorite. I have to say i love Tina's nerdy side and less wild manner. Poehler kind of intimidates me now, to be honest. After listening to this book i feel like i'd be terrified to talk to her at all IRL. She's intense and she swears and talks about sex fearlessly, and doesn't take any of what she considers to be bullshit from anyone (and that bar seems to be set pretty low). At the same time, though, she has a heart of gold like Leslie Knope and her inner circle sounds like a fun one to be in. 
 You know what - i feel weird judging these women by their memoirs, but it's hard not to do. They're just so intensely personal, especially this one. I know about Poehler's sleeping habits now, and every drug she has and hasn't tried. I can't help feeling like i know her. I'm glad she took a "this is who i am" approach to her book, rather than Mindy Kaling's "this is what i think" attitude, which i didn't appreciate so much. Tina Fey somehow had a more "this is how it is" attitude, and i absolutely loved that. Her book rang with truth, and it felt like a triumph. So i'd say this book is somewhere in the middle for me in terms of its value. It's interesting and funny and at times delightfully voyeuristic, although i have to admit i would've liked to hear more about the divorce. I'm kind of morbidly fascinated by divorce, though, mainly because NOBODY will talk about it. 
 Definitely thumbs-up. Listen to the audiobook. And, actually, the second-to-last story, titled "My Boys," is quite beautiful.
