Description

In a perfect world, we'd all be friends with Amy Poehler. Unfortunately, she's busy being a Golden Globe-winning actress, a producer, a director, frequent acting double for Meryl Streep and mother to two young sons, so isn't available for movie nights.

Luckily, we have the next best thing: Yes Please, Amy's hilarious and candid book, offering her thoughts on everything from her childhood to Hollywood, and from the demon that looks back at all of us in the mirror to her joy at being told she has 'a face for wigs'. A delight on every page, Yes Please is chock-full of words, and wisdom, to live by.

I liked this book. I realise that that sounds incredibly generic and boring but it's true. I gasped with surprise every time a celebrity name was mentioned (I mean who knew Amy knew one of the guys from The Beastie Boys?) and I had to suppress laughter while reading on the bus. My heart was warmed when I read about Amy's childhood and her children.

I have a hard time rating this book. It's funny (though more so in some parts than others) but you also don't learn a whole lot about Amy's life. It's crude but sweet - especially when she's talking about her kids. I listened to it in the car on my way home from work, which is what it was perfect for. I don't know if I'd sit down and read it, but I do recommend the audiobook version with its sidebars and guest readers. So thus it gets a 3 from me.
