Review of Yes Please by Amy Poehler

We chose this book since it has been talked about recently and thought it would be a hilarious read. Overall the book was fine, but not anything we would necessarily recommend to someone. Several of us have read Tina Fey's book and found that to fulfill the laughter factor compared to Poehler's. We appreciated Poehler's honesty and did learn more about who she is and her rise to fame. 

What we liked:
- There were some laugh-out-loud moments in the book
- It was real and didn't feel like Poehler held back or was dishonest about her life
- It provided more insight into Amy Poehler and how she became famous

What we didn't like:
- The book wasn't as funny as we hoped for
- Several read Tina Fey's book and found it to be funnier and a more enjoyable read compared to Amy Poehler's book
- Some parts of the book were slow or tedious, pointless to read - Example: All the names for Parks and Rec
