Amy Poehler

I wholeheartedly recommend the audio book. The beginning starts out a little slow for me. The middle hit me like a ton of bricks. I replayed the chapter on how to treat your career a few times.
I give it 5 bad relationships out of 5 bad relationships.

4 Stars

Down to earth, bluntly honest, and relatable despite her fame.

Poehler is just as quirky and fun and a bit off kilter as one would imagine her to be.

Road trip audiobook. This one got split up over two road trips a month apart, but I slipped back into it quite smoothly.

Poehler is a funny woman, and it was quite pleasant to pass the miles listening to her talk about her life, SNL, Parks and Recreation, and whatever other random topics occurred to her. Just what I want in a traveling companion.

Reminded me a lot of Bossypants by Tina Fey, didn’t enjoy that much either. As a memoir it didn’t have much meat to it, as a funny book there was no humour to be found for me, and as an “advice book” there were few pearls of wisdom at all. It didn’t make me feel any differently to Amy Poehler than before I read it, and I think that is a bit of a failure for such a book. It was all in all rather boring.
