Jessica Reviews Yes Please by Amy Poehler (Audio book)

    I am an SNL junkie. I love old episodes with Dan Aykroyd and  Gilda Radner, through Chris Farley, Molly Shannon, Will Farrell, and all the way through to Kristen Wiig, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon and even the current cast. So, when I figured out how to use my credits on Audible.com (I had racked up 5 book credits) two of the books I got were written by SNL cast members.

    Amy Poehler is my favorite of the Amy/Tina duo. They are amazing as a team, but head to head? I'd pick Amy every time. This is one time when I would suggest the audio book over the paper/ebook versions. Amy reads her own book with some additional famous voices thrown in for effect and her parents even make a guest appearance.

  Amy is a great story teller and I feel like we are totally friends now. She sat in my car with me while I drove to work for 4 days and told me about her life and gave me advice. She made me laugh...a lot! She was touching and warm and I loved every minute of it.

    The last chapter of the book was recorded in front of a live audience at the Upright Citizens Brigade, which adds to the performance in a huge way.

    My favorite part of SNL is when the characters break. When they are trying so hard to stifle a laugh I am usually cracking up to the point of tears. The live reading at the end has Amy laughing and that laugh is contagious. There are audio clips of some SNL skits, which is a total bonus.

    Amy is real and honest while still being funny and entertaining. I highly recommend this audio book. It is just too good to pass up. I would even venture to say that if you are not already a member of Audible.com, you should sign up for your free trial and use your one free book credit to get this book.
