Yes Please / Amy Poehler / 329 pages / Celebrity Challenge

I don't watch very much television, so I had never heard of Amy Poehler.  When she was recommended as a celebrity author on the blog, however, I requested and checked out this audio book.  I now have a pretty fair idea of who she is and I do remember seeing her impression of Hillary Clinton.  Most of the book recounts her show business career and many of the star she met and/or worked with along the way.  Unfortunately, Carol Burnett was about the only one I knew.  (Remember, I am not a TV watcher.)  I'm sorry to say I didn't laugh much, but I was impressed with Amy's humility, her multi-faceted skill set, her determination to succeed, her obvious love for her family and especially her sons, and her willingness to share it all.
