Story
Once in a generation a woman comes along who changes everything. Tina Fey is not that woman, but she met that woman once and acted weird around her.
Before 30 Rock, Mean Girls, and 'Sarah Palin', Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV. She has seen both these dreams come true.

Anyone who saw an episode of Saturday Night Live between 1999 and 2006 knows Rachel Dratch. She was hilarious! So what happened to her? After a misbegotten part as Jenna on the pilot of 30 Rock, Dratch was only getting offered roles as "Lesbians. Secretaries. Sometimes secretaries who are lesbians." Her career at a low point, Dratch suddenly had time for yoga, dog- sitting, learning Spanish - and dating. After all, what did a forty-something single woman living in New York have to lose?

Story
All too often the focus of mainstream feminism is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. Meeting basic needs is a feminist issue. Food insecurity, the living wage and access to education are feminist issues. The fight against racism, ableism and transmisogyny are all feminist issues. White feminists often fail to see how race, class, sexual orientation and disability intersect with gender. How can feminists stand in solidarity as a movement when there is a distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others?

If I'm going to tell the story of a life, my life, then I need to tell it warts and all. If the tale is too saccharine sweet then what can the reader take away from it? What do they learn about you? I've written everything down. The shit, the death, fun, naughtiness, addiction, laughter, laughter, laughter, some tears and lots of love and happiness. That, to me, is a better reflection of a human's life.

Editor reviews
Hilarious in its delivery and stunning in its honesty, best-selling Yes Please is the much-anticipated biographical audiobook by American comedy queen Amy Poehler who narrates through her book with a cast of superstar guest appearances. Poehler will share intimate memories of her life and her rise to stardom, along with charming advice and delightful life lessons guaranteed to provoke side-stitching laughter. You will hear Poehler as she truly is – a comedian, actress, mother, daughter, lover and eternally likeable woman leaving a legacy behind her. Available now from Audible.
Summary
In Amy Poehler's highly anticipated first book, Yes Please, she offers up a big juicy stew of personal stories, funny bits on sex and love and friendship and parenthood and real life advice (some useful, some not so much).
Powered by Amy's charming and hilarious, biting yet wise voice, and including a star-studded guest list of vocal appearances from Carol Burnett, Seth Meyers, Michael Schur, Patrick Stewart, Kathleen Turner, and even Amy's parents Yes Please is chock-full of words, and wisdom, to live by.
Critic reviews
"Life advise, personal anecdotes and a touch of sex all beautifully handled by the warmest US comedy goddess. Actually adorable." (Grazia)
"The SNL behind-the-scenes stuff is gold" (Glamour)
"We love Amy Poehler" (Red)
"Our favourite agony aunt. Expect witty, real-life advice" (Vogue)

Not the giggle fest I thought it would be...
What would have made Yes Please better?
More structure and more laughs! She did actually pre warn that there would be many random tales, but halfway through one story she would digress onto another and I find myself getting quite annoyed with this. Also I expected Amy to have talked through more of her journey to becoming a Saturday Night Live performer, but it didn't go much detail at all. I had expected it to be laugh out loud hilarious in places but I just didn't find the selected memories all that funny either!
Has Yes Please put you off other books in this genre?
No, I have enjoyed several memoirs and autobiographies, this one just didn't hit the right note with me.
Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favourite?
As it's a memoir Amy is the main feature in the audiobook, but it was good to hear snippets of Will Ferrell in his Saturday Night Live days.
You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Amy Poehler's narration of the book is perfect - which makes sense as she's the author, but even so it's very engaging. I also enjoyed the guest speakers which added an extra dimension for Audiobook listeners.
Any additional comments?
I don't think that this is neccessarilly a bad book, my low score just reflects that it didn't meet my expectations for what it would be. It's not side splitting hilarious and doesn't give an insider look into Amy's life, it's simply a collection of random tales and thoughts.

Amy is my queen
I love, adore and worship Amy Poehler so have been waiting for this audiobook excitedly ever since it was announced. Of course, I wasn't disappointed. Of course I wasn't. Amy would never disappoint me.
Opinionated, sometimes angry, not always "nice" and always hilarious. It's refreshing that she is never self deprecating in order to be likeable. Amy is open about her ambition and hard work and I like her all the more for it.
Does Amy do a good job of narrating her own book? Are you kidding me? From her specially built recording booth by Mt Rushmore, she is awesome and the guest voices are AMAZING. I do appreciate it when the audio version of a book has added value from the print version. It wouldn't be the same without Patrick Stewart reciting haiku or Kathleen Turner as the evil voice in your head putting you down.
The stuff about Parks and Rec is great but if you haven't watched it all, there are some spoilers.
In case you didn't get the message, I really, really, really, really liked this book.

Funny but not insightful
Poehler is a very funny lady and she proves it in this book. So glad I listened to the Audiobook as I think it offers much more than the written version. She tells you herself she doesn't want people knowing her business which is fair enough but leaves you wanting to know more. I just feel if you're going to write an autobiography it should be fully open and honest. It's read brilliantly with great input from the guest readers. Definitely worth it if your a fan or someone with a passing interest in her work.

Yes please to Yes Please!
Would you listen to Yes Please again? Why?
This is a true example of how the Audiobook format can be used to enhance the experience of interacting with a book. Poehler's humour comes across in spades but there's also a great degree of poignancy. Her wit, sharp when written, is given an extra crackle of fun when delivered as a one-liner. The guest readers all played the game with panache, and it's a true pleasure to listen to.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I loved the chapter written and read by Seth Meyers, but it's the many incarnations of Amy Poehler that make this so brilliant.
Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I love Amy's comedy and she's always on point, but it bears saying that the very personal nature of this memoir makes it probably one of my favourite things she's ever done.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me laugh A LOT but some of the more poignant segments - when Amy touches on her divorce, when she speaks about the difficulty she had breaking into the world of comedy - also provoked a sniffle.

For New Yorkers only
I'm only halfway through this title and already I'm really struggling. problem is it isn't aimed at me. I'm a 50-ish Londoner; this book is aimed squarely at New Yorkers, and is based on the following 3 premises:
1: New York is the greatest place on earth
2. Saturday Night Live is the greatest comedy TV show ever made
3: Everything Amy Poehler and her chums say is thigh-slappingly funny
I'll not voice and opinion on (1) as I've only been to New York once so what do I know, but 2 & 3 are definitely questionable. The problem with SNL is that it's so insular, and is based completely on how star-spangled awesome New York is. For anyone living outside of the city you're just not included, man. Ask anyone who doesn't live in the USA or Canada about SNL and they're likely to mention Chevy Chase and John Belushi. Nobody else sees this show.
Like most comedy these days you have to be in at the start or you just won't understand the in-jokes or why certain people saying certain things gets a laugh. But on the few occasions I've caught SNL I really can't see what the big deal is about, and yet the cast are so full of themselves, forced laughter at the most mundane of comments.
And then Ms Poehler adds to the pain by trying to turn every chapter into an SNL sketch, and this falls flat almost every time. Her long drawn-out piece about her forthcoming birthing just goes on and on and on, and for some reason she thing the word 'vagina' is hilarious.
I dunno, this one just isn't aimed at me; and for the record the best TV comedy ever written is, and always will be, "Dad's Army"

So much fun!
Review: I was so looking forward to reading this book and let me tell you, it did not let me down. I have found that I enjoy reading autobiographies in audiobooks form and so I downloaded this one using one of my audible credits and settled back for an entertaining listen on my commute. Gosh this book was such fun. I highly reccomend listening to this one on audiobook because you feel partly like you're just having a good old chat with this fabulous lady, and party like you are being entertained at some wonderful stand up comedy event.
The book isn't linear in structure, it jumps around from time to time covering various aspects of Amy Poehler's personal life and her career. I sometimes prefer this form of writing to a chronological report of someones life, i found the anecdotal style very easy to listen to and I would imagine that it would make a good read as well. The stories that she told were interesting and you could tell that she was just sharing them with her readers, not putting them out there just for sympathy or just for laughs, it was really as if she were just telling you stuff about her life whilst you were both on a long bus journey or something-i really liked this!
The really fab thing about this audiobook was that there was definitely extra content for those of use who had elected to buy the audiobook. Obviously when you buy an audio version of an autobiography, you miss out on the pictorial content that you would get in the hardback edition, but because of this, Amy has added some guest readers and a whole section which she did ,Ive to an audience so you get just as much of a 3d experience as if you had picked up the hardback.
I know this will be a big xmas gift this year and it came out just in time for all the seasonal gifting but i really recommend you not only buy this book as a gift but also read it yourself because there is something in this book to entertain anyone and everyone. You will laugh, you will be made to think and you will definitely storm through this book just as quickly as I did. This was a fabulously entertaining read but now you'll have to excuse me whilst I find more funny clips of SNL on YouTube!

Tina Fey did it better
What would have made Yes Please better?
Couldn't finish this. This is Bossy Pants delivered through amateur theatre Jazz Hands. Impossible NOT to compare to Bossy Pants by Tina Fey, which is an excellent read. Amy's stories are ho-hum, the delivery cheesy.
Has Yes Please turned you off from other books in this genre?

I could not love this book
This book had been on my wish list for years. I so badly wanted to love this book. I just couldn’t. I returned the book after the apology chapter. It broke me illusion that this would be good book. It is well narrated and an interesting concept. But that’s about it. I am devastated. It’s like being in love with the idea of something and realizing that the reality is nothing like what you thought you were getting into.

Yes please!
Amy Poehler is amazing. There is no shock that this book is also amazing. Her reading it aloud (along with other guests) makes it that much more extra amazing. How many more times can I fit amazing into one review?
Definitely definitely recommend.

Amy Poehler is beautiful
Honest, and hilarious, and relatable. Apart from the whole loads of celebrity friends thing, I don't have that.

Who is Amy Poehler??
I have never had the attention span to read books.... My friend suggested audio books.
I loved listening to this, I didn't even know who Amy was or ever watched an episode of Saturday night live!
She is awesome, funny and relatable to listen to!!! I now know who Amy is!!!

Great First Audiobook
I really liked this book and loved the fact that it was narrated by Amy herself. Although I didn't understand a lot of the references and celebrity names, I still really enjoyed it and recommend.
