Story
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?

At last, the full story behind Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman's epic romance, including stories, portraits, and the occasional puzzle. How did they do it? They came from completely different families, endured a significant age difference, and were separated by the gulf of several social strata. Megan loved books and art history; Nick loved hammers. But much more than these seemingly unsurpassable obstacles were the values they held in common: respect, decency, the ability to mention genitalia in almost any context, and an abiding obsession with the songs of Tom Waits.

Story
Is it possible to write a sidesplitting novel about the breakup of the perfect marriage? If the writer is Nora Ephron, the answer is a resounding yes. For in this inspired confection of adultery, revenge, group therapy, and pot roast, the creator of Sleepless in Seattle reminds us that comedy depends on anguish as surely as a proper gravy depends on flour and butter.

Wong told the world her remarkably unfiltered thoughts on marriage, sex, Asian culture, working women and why you never see new mum comics onstage but you sure see plenty of new dads. The sharp insights and humour are even more personal in this completely original collection.

When Abbi Jacobson announced to friends and acquaintances that she planned to drive across the country alone, she was met with lots of questions and opinions: why wasn't she going with friends? Wouldn't it be incredibly lonely? The North route is better! Was it safe for a woman? The Southern route is the way to go! You should bring mace! And a common one...why? But Abbi had always found comfort in solitude and needed space to step back and hit the reset button.

Fans of Veep will love this audiobook. It is performed so perfectly by Selina and Gary. I actually can’t imagine it working as a regular book, because almost all the comedy comes in the delivery.

Hilarious satire for veep lovers
This audio book was just as funny as an episode of VEEP. Julia Louis Dreyfus and Tony Hale are so clever and funny I was crying. If you lived VEEP and miss it, I highly recommend this “book”.

Even Julia LD can't save this awkward fan fiction
As a big Veep fan I practically leapt out of my seat when I came across this - but sadly after six hours I'm mostly disappointed with it. While Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Tony Hale give some really good performances across the book and there're some occasional great lines, anyone hoping for a post-presidential rundown expanding on the people and events of Veep will come away wanting. Almost the entirety of the book is profoundly over the top new content sketching out Selina's childhood and pre-political life. There's almost no commentary on any of the major issues of the show or her team, it's real broad-strokes comedy about how dysfunctional the aristocratic 1% are and what a simultaneously monsterous and pathetic woman she was in college. Towards the end of the book, there're a few jokes about how it skips over most of what her audience is really interested in, which, hit too close to home. Far from the worst six hours you'll ever spend, but I was disappointed in the direction they took this one.

Go. Get it. Now.
I read the book about a week ago... and I wasn’t sure if listening to the audiobook would be worth it... oh was I wrong. Let me tell you, you in for a treat!!! 6 hours well spent, laughed the entire time, “Selina” and “Gary” do a spectacular job!!! I can’t get enough of my Veep. P.S. I was considering to leave the one star review so Selina can have someone write a book about her childhood...but just couldn’t help myself.

Simply amazing. It's 6 additional & delightful hours of Veep that are hilarious, interesting & filled with Gary chiming in. I finished it in 1 day & i'm gonna start listening to it again tomorrow. I demand a prologue to this book! Selina Meyer: The Early Years!

Thank You, President Meyer!
The book is an incredible account of the life of President Selina Meyer from our very own President Selina Meyer! From learning more about her family history to her times leaving the House for the Senate, it is a great story of our first female president. She even leaves the door open to another run — by not saying she won’t run for office again.

Why I returned, A Woman First
Reeling from Veep and not wanting it to end I used a precious credit for this book and I was happy until Gary started reading as Selina. That totally turned me off and I could not get back the good humor though I did like it when Gary interrupted Selina with his little blurps oops gurgles and so forth. Anyway this is why points were lost...….with all due love and respect. B.

Great one liners.
This is a must for any VEEP fan. The narration starts off slow, in that, JLD and Tony Hale don’t seem fully in character but they get there and until they do they likes are veep quality brilliant ‘One of those people that makes you want to deep throat a shotgun 40 times a fucking day.’ I can’t imagine that the book is as entertaining in the print version, however it is definitely hysterical in this form

a bit funny
I bought this thinking it would be a bit like a radio show version of the TV show VEEP, that was perhaps too high an expectation, although it didn't get that close. it started a bit boring, but got into it, there were some funny moments. That aside, it was a bit average.
