Yes please! (Book)
Yes please!
Yes please! Thank you! sorry sorry sorry! The miracle words of Amy Poehler that she believes can get you anywhere. I heard this book as an audiobook in the voice of the author. But I believe its reading wouldn't have been bad either. Amy Poehler is an American comedian, an improv actor, and a person with a sharp intellect. Hence, this book isn't about three simple steps to becoming a comedian. No, it isn't about becoming an overnight improv actor and this book is certainly not called HOW TO MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH! This book is a memoir. It is the journey of Amy Poehler from dawn to dusk. It's her ideas and observations glued together. It is funny ... hilarious at certain points but it is also emotional. Frankly, it is a roller coaster ride. I mean that woman is just amazing!
Sometimes you will relate to Amy like hell yeah! Go girl! I totally get that. Then there are moments like... Amy come on! You know better.. Then there is... Amy what the fuck?!? I love you. Finally, it's like... Amy, I am lost... Her book isn't a chronology of her life. It isn't sequential. It goes up and down and everywhere. Obviously, you haven't read it so you will have to take my word for it. Amy's take on life is quite unique. It's humorous. Her advice is really good. It is something we realize early in life the better. She has a habit of telling a simple story with a little pepper, some jalapeno, and a teaspoon of cinnamon that makes you laugh your ass off. She has a strong character and an undeterred personality. She is resilient and fierce in nature. Which is quite a driving factor to continue this book despite the fact it has parts like... Amy, I am lost.
Amy's advice on sex, treating your career like a bad boyfriend, and the idea that time travel is possible is just damn! Her ideas for a book on divorce are crazy! Bizarre actually! She knows thinking about the thing is not the thing. Doing the thing is the thing. Which is equivalent to nincompoop if you haven't read the book! So READ it already. Even better... hear it! Her way of talking just adds to the funny.
Rating... A solid 4/5
Some shows featuring her...which I haven't seen cause I only watched Saturday Night Live... I may see them...someday if I don't forget.
