About this listen

A collection of humorous autobiographical essays by the Academy Award-nominated actress and star of Up in the Air and Pitch Perfect.

"I'm excited to publish my first book, and because I get uncomfortable when people have high expectations, I'd like to use this opportunity to showcase my ineptitude and pettiness and the frequency with which I embarrass myself. And while many of my female inspirations who have become authors are incredibly well educated and accomplished comedy writers, I'm very, very funny on Twitter, according to BuzzFeed and my mom, so I feel like this is a great idea. Quick question: Are run-on sentences still frowned upon? Wait, is ending a sentence with a preposition still frowned upon? I mean, upon frowned? Dammit!" (Anna Kendrick)

Anna Kendrick's autobiographical collection of essays amusingly recounts memorable moments throughout her life, from her middle-class upbringing in New England to the blockbuster movies that have made her one of Hollywood's most popular actresses today. Expanding upon the witty and ironic dispatches for which she is known, Anna Kendrick's essays offer her one-of-a-kind commentary on the absurdities she's experienced on her way to and from the heart of pop culture.

What made the experience of listening to Scrappy Little Nobody the most enjoyable?

Anna's personality shines through, making all of her stories great to listen to. I enjoy her reading voice, and thought a lot of her thoughts and feelings reflected my own. I really liked her honesty throughout.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listened to most of the audiobook in one six hour train journey home. It kept me occupied and interested, and I was almost disappointed when the journey came to an end and I had to take a break.

Funny, interesting and I wish it was longer
