The problem with this book is a problem with Parks and Recreation, in that you think that Leslie Knope is Amy Poehler, and that is just not true. In real life, Poehler's humor is crasser and ruder than Knope would ever be. So going in with Leslie Knope expectations and getting Amy Poehler humor made this book a disappointment to me. Really the only good part of this book was the chapter on Parks and Rec in which Poehler and Parks producer/writer Michael Schur talk about making the show. Otherwise, "Yes Please" comes nowhere close to the masterpiece of "Bossypants."
