Okay there is no doubt about it...Tina Fey is hilarious! This book was such an easy, enjoyable read! I found myself laughing at something on pretty much every single page. The good thing about this though is that the jokes didn't feel "forced." They fit perfectly with the flow of the story. The book did bounce around a bit, but it was easy to follow & didn't take away from the story itself. I'm not normally a biography/autobiography fan, but this really was an excellent read. I wish I'd read it sooner!

This memoir is the true story of Jessica Fishman, a young Jewish woman from the USA and her experiences when she moved to Israel to start a life there. In this book, Fishman details all the pitfalls of her learning Hebrew, getting into the army, finding a job as a civilian as well as the straw that broke the camel's back and forced her back to America (for a while). Read what I thought of this autobiography in my review here.

light hearted, fun, lots of information (0 more)
A good read, funny and insightful
With this being an autobiography of Ronnie Corbett i was fearful that it was going to be bad jokes and constant talking about random stuff....it isnt. Its a great account of one half of arguably one of the best entertainment pair ever. Its everything you could imagine asking in a q and a sessions. From childhood to going on his own after Ronnie Barkers passing. A great light hearted read that you will enjoy as much as i did :)
