An interesting memoir from Nell Scovell, a writer for a number of well-known television shows, that adds another testimony to the growing list of stories about a male-dominated entertainment industry with all its limitations and abusive or sexist behavior. 

And this is, according to the author, 'just the funny parts', which is also the problem of the book. Even though she shares a couple of jokes that she wrote here and there, most of the book is written in a factual, serious tone of voice that doesn't deliver what the title of the book seems to promise. 

I enjoyed reading about television episodes or events that I only knew about from the outside, and I was sad to read that Hollywood and the entertainment industry clearly still has a long way to go when it comes to diversity, equality and respect for people's dignity. I just wished that there had been a bit more humor to counterbalance the serious side of the story.
