Biography & Autobiography. Essays. Nonfiction. Humor (Nonfiction.) HTML:The New York Times bestselling collection of humorous autobiographical essays by the Academy Award­â??nominated actress and star of Up in the Air and Pitch Perfect.
Even before she made a name for herself on the silver screen starring in films like Pitch Perfect, Up in the Air, Twilight, and Into the Woods, Anna Kendrick was unusually small, weird, and "10 percent defiant."

At the ripe age of thirteen, she had already resolved to "keep the crazy inside my head where it belonged. Forever. But here's the thing about crazy: It. Wants. Out." In Scrappy Little Nobody, she invites readers inside her brain, sharing extraordinary and charmingly ordinary stories with candor and winningly wry observations.

With her razor-sharp wit, Anna recounts the absurdities she's experienced on her way to and from the heart of pop culture as only she canâ??from her unusual path to the performing arts (Vanilla Ice and baggy neon pants may have played a role) to her double life as a middle-school student who also starred on Broadway to her initial "dating experiments" (including only liking boys who didn't like her back) to reviewing a binder full of butt doubles to her struggle to live like an adult woman instead of a perpetual "man-child."

Enter Anna's world and follow her rise from "scrappy little nobody" to somebody who dazzles on the stage, the screen, and now the pageâ??with an electric, singular voice, at once familiar and surprising, sharp and sweet, funny and serious (well, not tha

I found Scrappy Little Nobody to be a refreshing, entertaining and honest appraisal of the author's life to date. Anna Kendrick delivers a narrative with which most people can identify - at least at some point in their lives. It's a reminder to her fans and really to anyone who reads the book, that while the nature of celebrity life is different, it's no less hectic and typical in many ways. And it's a reminder that no matter who you are, growing up can be awkward as Hell! The author's writing style is enjoyable and makes the reader feel comfortable, no matter the subject matter.

I loved this as a audio book so much. It not only gives you a look into her life but also her experience in hollywood and just general life advice. I loved listening to her tell me story. It is so funny and the book made me laugh! Read it :) we could all use a laugh in 2016 :) ( )

2.5 stars

This had a few laugh-out-loud moments, particularly in the beginning, but overall it wasn't nearly as funny as I was hoping or expecting it to be.

What really dragged down my rating, though, was all the profanity and sexual content/references included. It was all very unnecessary and definitely not entertaining.

This book was disappointing and I would not recommend it (especially not to Christians). ( )

Going into this book, I didn't think I was going to like it. Honestly, the intro had me humming and ha-ing about whether I would actually enjoy the book. But, once I got into the actual biography and got to peek inside Anna's life as an actress, I really enjoyed it! The last few chapters didn't sit well with me, but I did finish the book.

I enjoyed Anna's sense of humour and a peek inside the entertainment industry. Reading that she's an introvert that's just in a very extroverted career was also very interesting. There is a lot of depth into this book about being an actor, and of course the odd swear word because it's Anna Kendrick. She's honest about her career and makes sure the reader sees both the good and the bad about being an actor in Hollywood.

Overall, this was nice read.

Three out of five stars. ( )
