Mindy’s obviously talented. The episodes she’s written of The Office are favorites of mine, and she’s a gifted comic actress as well. I’m just not sure her talents are as well suited for a book.
I smiled a lot while reading this, but I rarely laughed. On the other hand, I also wasn’t ever bored, so that’s something. And it’s so short, even non-readers can finish it in a few days and feel like they’ve read an entire book. Everyone wins or something.
I’m sure developing new shows for NBC and producing The Office pays a whole helluva lot better than writing a book, so that’ll likely be what she spends her time on in the future. My guess is that while she has the ability to write something funnier, I’m not sure we’ll be experiencing it in book format.
