Three because it wasn't as good as I anticipated, but four because I really, really like Amy Poehler and I want to have her back. It just seems as of late everyone is considered a brand, and when you're a brand as opposed to just being a person/actor/comedienne, there's a checklist of things you have to accomplish: career begins as player in comedy troupe, work on SNL, make a few movies, produce, direct, star in your own show, or host a late night show named after you, and write your obligatory book. Problem is, especially in Amy Poehler's case, she's got a million other things going on that make writing a good book extremely unpleasant - which she even says numerous times in the book! I really believe a book should be a labor of love and not just a contractual obligation, because honestly if it's the later, it's going to sound like it. <br />Which is not to say that it doesn't have enjoyable moments - it does. I loved hearing about her time on SNL, which is/was my idea of a dream job, and all the little stories of being in the biz, how she got her start, etc. Trouble is, throughout, it felt like she was just kind of rushing to get it done. It was kind of disorganized, in a way. As another reviewer said: it was written as if she was doing improv, only improv doesn't translate well to writing. Anyway, maybe when things settle down and she's not mothering small children, starting a new relationship, writing and producing tv, maybe she can try this again. Or not. She's got it going on, no matter what. </div> <div id="review-like"> <span class='likeItContainer' id='like_container_review_1093274472'><a id="like_count_review_1093274472" rel="nofollow" href="/rating/voters/1093274472?resource_type=Review"><span class="likesCount">1 like</span></a> · <a rel="nofollow" class="jsLike like_it gr-button gr-button--small" href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/new?remember=true&return_url=%2Freview%2Fshow%3Fid%3D1093274472">Like</a></span> ∙ <a class="flag smallText greyText" rel="nofollow" title="Flag this review as inappropriate." id="flag_link1093274472" href="/flagged/new?resource_id=1093274472&resource_type=Review&return_url=%2Freview%2Fshow%3Fid%3D1093274472">flag</a> </div> <div id="review-follow"> </div> </div></div><div class="big450BoxBottom"></div></div><br class="clear" /> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> if (typeof window.uet == "function") { window.uet("cf");
