Reactions:
“Amy is so honest and delightful in this book that it’s hard not to fall even more in love with her. She’s extremely witty, hysterical and just captures the listener. I learned a lot about myself listening to this book and made me realize a lot too, not only about myself but the people around me. I have always admired her for her dedication, hard work and amazing talent but listening to this made me aware of the struggles that she has had to deal with to get to where she is and made her more relatable. I would buy this book again and again.” – Elizabeth
“The production and performance of this work is comic genius. The snorty-giggly-oh-co-workers-are-staring genius. This has kicked my from a deep self-pitying funk into perfect delight. I would kiss everyone involved in this recording just for the fact that my heart feels lighter. And I’m starting with you, Kathleen Turner.” – Coldfriday
“I really loved this book. It had me laughing on the street like an idiot, and tearing up on the subway….like an idiot. She’s very sincere and incisive about herself, which fully supports her public persona of being a totally awesome person who we would all very much like to be friends with.” – S.F.
“Yes, I really loved this book and I think it was better than Bossy Pants (sorry Tina) and also Ellen’s books. Although, Bossy Pants is VERY close – oh forget it, both are equally good. Aside from the vulgarity in the book, I really enjoyed it. I’m only a few years older than Amy, so I could relate to her context and I honestly just loved her transparency about things like getting older, how hard life can be, having fun and real life. Writing a book is something that puts you out there and it takes courage to do that because you know people are going to criticize you. I like that Amy has taken that risk and I hope she writes another book. I also say this as a very conservative Christian, who disagrees with her politically – so that says something. Maybe I’m really liberal?” – Stacy Harp
“Amy’s book is less structured. It kind of comes in at the middle, she had some fun, Patrick Stewart makes an appearance and at some point you start to see the SNL casts lives overlap in a weird mosaic like a time travel Harry Potter book. You pull a guy out of the audience on and it turns out to be the guy who you do weekend update with years later …when does things like this happen? But it is funny. Her stories are cute. She cried, A LOT during her SNL days.” – Brie Stoll
