Kindle version not very good

July 8, 2017

Verified Purchase

I am completely enjoying this book (2/3 through it)...but feel compelled to write this review as it relates to the Kindle Version only. There are many photos, documents, and other interesting contributions in the book that cannot be seen well (or at all) in the Kindle version. They are all WAY too small to be viewed/read/enjoyed and cannot be enlarged (even if the text IS enlarged). It's really a shame, as these additions seem to add a lot of charm to the content and the nature of the book. I would strongly recommend this book - only in the paper version and NOT the Kindle version. Getting the Kindle version is sort of a rip-off because you miss out on all these great pieces that were intended by the author for the reader to enjoy.

I'm struggling to understand how anyone could like Poehler less after reading this book

March 26, 2016

I'm struggling to understand how anyone could like Poehler less after reading this book. I appreciated her honesty in a lot of ways-- Poehler came off as a friend telling me stories and giving me advice, not as a comedian, which was fine by me. Perhaps it's because I didn't go into this book with any real expectations, but I didn't find it even remotely disappointing. I appreciate that Poehler understands that female comedians don't have to be self-deprecating to be funny, as I feel like a large part of the current female comedians have fallen into that pattern.

Furthermore, with regards to name dropping and discussions of a privileged lifestyle-- you're reading a celebrity memoir? She's discussing her daily life, and as she's a celebrity, she has celebrity friends and a more affluent way of living. I don't know what you were expecting, frankly. "Please write me stories about your life, but don't tell me about your friends or your lifestyle, just tell me the painful things like your divorce!" That doesn't make any sense.

I loved this memoir. It was full of cute anecdotes, and funny little things. I appreciated it, and I appreciate Poehler.

Saturday Nite Reader

I enjoyed that the audiobook was spoken by Amy herself

January 9, 2018

I enjoyed that the audiobook was spoken by Amy herself, it allowed me to hear how she wanted me to read her book.

I didn't go into the book with any expectations, but still felt a bit disappointed. There was comedy in there, but not as much as I had liked. Much of the beginning of her story was about her being pregnant, her childbirth, her being a mother: which was not an issue, it was just 3 - 4 chapters in a row that I finally was like "can we change the subject already?"

The guest readers were a nice touch, but felt they may have been thrown in there haphazardly: Seth Meyers chapter, to me, didn't need to be there.

Organizationally it was a little all over the place. References from pre and post SNL life kept alternating at different times and I was sometimes confused. This isn't a major issue, just something I noticed.

I am glad I listened to the book versus read it. I do think it made a difference.

Hilarious lady.... but...

Amy seems kind and hilarious. But, yet, also comes across as domineering and judge-y. Maybe she is just so transparent that we are getting a good dose of who she really is- flaws and all. And, I would never say that’s a bad thing. Like I have found with tons of memoirs lately, this one lacks a certain level of vulnerability which makes me wonder why you’re writing a book about yourself if you’re gonna leave out some of your depths. You can tell she values privacy and boundaries with strangers which is great! But.. again.. then what’s with the memoir?

I think she’s great. And this was basically an enjoyable read. Not sure I would recommend this one first off to other people though.

This book made me love Amy Poehler even more!

June 8, 2018

I have been a fan of Amy Poehler for awhile now. I enjoyed her on Saturday Night Live, watching and rewatching Parks and Recreation, and I love anything she does together with Tina Fey. I love to read and she wrote a book, so (bibliophile that I am) I bought a copy.

I am generally not a huge fan of autobiographies, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I laughed out loud (obviously, the woman is hilarious), I enjoyed the personal photos she shared and the tales of how she got to be where she is today. She is an inspiring woman and it was interesting to learn more about where she came from and just how very human she is. I also enjoyed the anecdotes about her early days and it was cool to look up her old stuff online (the Upright Citizens Brigade and Andy's Little Sister bits were particularly enjoyable). It's a good read about an interesting woman and I'm happy to have it in my collection. More Amy Poehler? Yes, please!

I could not put this book down! Amy does not disappoint. She has a heart of gold and keeps you laughing and sometimes crying at the same time! I didn't know how much I loved her until I read this book. She's sweet, smart, funny, a women's advocate, a great mom and the list could go on and on! Yes, there is some fowl language, but I still would be proud for my daughter to read this!

I really enjoyed reading this book

April 25, 2017

I really enjoyed reading this book. Amy is inspiring, smart, generous with her support and praise of others, and clearly loves her family. You can tell what an enormous, open heart she has. I particularly appreciated that she was strongly, yet kindly, protective of her marriage and its end- clearly putting her children first instead of going for the disgusting easy-sell tell-all style memoire. As a woman, I see her as a strong role model for how women should treat each other and ourselves. Yet again, Leslie Knope delivers a gem!

Honestly Real and Funny

March 15, 2018

I had no idea how down to earth this famous comedian, writer, producer, and all around badass is.
I really enjoyed finding out about Amy's journey thus far. I was laughing because our thoughts about insomnia were so similar. She writes beautifully about her relationships with her kids. She doesn't pretend that bad things don't happen in life as well. If you need an entertaining and interesting book to read, this is it. I want my nieces to read this, while they are in their early adult years.
I can't wait to find out what she'll do next.
