![]() ![]() It’s is written in the form of essays, with lots of photographs and bits and pieces of other stuff thrown in. ![]() ![]() But those parts are actually really good too.Īmy Poehler’s novel covers her life in general, from her looks to her interest and career in comedy, to general musings about life, to her children and her marriage and divorce. Of course parts of it genuinely are meant to be funny and are, but lots of it is her speaking from the gut. A lot of it is more serious than funny, with bits of comedic relief thrown in to ease everything else. A lot of comedians will slap you in the face with their brutal honesty, but earnestness has a vulnerability that’s hard to fake.Īnyway, I say all this because this really is not a constantly hilarious book. I also think Amy Poehler has an earnestness that I think a lot of comedians are missing I suspect it’s because it’s more revealing and raw sometimes to be earnest. I think it’s because Amy Poehler seems like she knows who she is and doesn’t want to pander to anyone about it. I like Tina Fey, I like Mindy Kaling, but I love, love Amy Poehler. This book was my Christmas present to myself (though to be honest, I buy a lot of books for myself, all the time, but this one was special because I was excited about it). I decided I liked this book before I started reading it. By Jennifer Marie Lin on Dec 25th, 2014 (Last Updated Sep 20th, 2018) ![]()
