"If you love Tina Fey, Saturday Night Live (which I grew up on), and 30 Rock (one of the funniest shows on television) then you will appreciate this book. I love her perspective - brilliantly smart and funny. This book is somewhat biographical and also includes interesting dynamics between genders in show biz. She's a modern day feminist for sure."
