I got this as a fun read for a road trip, and it was a fun read, with a bit of Simpsons insider trivia. I think it was written mainly for fans who keep asking Cartwright the same questions about how the show is made or which guest stars are assholes. (She never calls anybody that, but it's pretty clear who was cool and who wasn't).
I would have loved to read more about her training with Daws Butler and her younger years in general. There's something so amazing about a person who decides at a young age they want to do something unusual, and set about to do it. Will Shortz is the only other person like this who comes to mind right now.
The other thing the book could have use was a ghost writer! My gosh, every other sentence ended with an exclamation point! It was really annoying!

Gave up reading this around page 70. While some anecdotes are mildly amusing, the story is not interesting; it describes Cartwright's quick rise to fame without any notable setbacks and then just focuses on namedropping celebrity guest stars who have appeared on the Simpsons. I was hoping for some cool background knowledge on the Simpsons, but none was forthcoming.
Cowabunga! I really liked this book. I'd recommend to anyone who wants to read this, to listen to the CD. She puts in the Bart voice when appropriate as well as imitates her co-workers. Recorded a couple of years after she wrote the book, she added a few footnotes of updates. There is so much to learn about putting on an animated series, plus all the stuff she did before the Simpsons.

Part of me expected the book to be more about Nancy than Bart. I really enjoyed the first chapters as Nancy bursts into the scene and I now appreciate more the job of the world of animation.
But then she started pulling things from her journal ... *gasp* I'm far from the biggest Hollywood fan, so it came across as immature and superficial.
This book should only be read by a die-hard Simpsons fan.
After reading a biography (or auto biography), I often use the "Would I want to hang out with this person?" as a measuring stick. For Nancy, she didn't offer a whole lot for me to admire. She's not an evil or even a bad person.
She just seems out of touch. She acts as a ten year old boy ... maybe she acts like a ten year old in real life.
