Wow, that's a lot of sections[edit]

The synopsis seems too long, in part because it's broken up into one section per chapter. Anyone feel strongly that the article needs to be this long and this detailed? Rks13 (talk) 17:57, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did a quick review of a few other pages related to biographies (The Autobiography of Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, A Moveable Feast, Experience (Martin Amis), Life of Samuel Johnson, The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin). Most of them have (at most) very short synopses of the books, and most of the articles devote most of their space to other aspects, such as origin and creation, or critical response. This article should not be a substitute for the book, or for the biography article Tina Fey, so I plan to prune the synopsis down to a tidy paragraph or two, unless someone has a compelling argument for keeping it the way it is.
