Dad Is Fat I actually enjoyed quite a bit more than Food (3. I found both books perfectly amusing and breezy to read, but rated them both around 3 stars because of the recycled material (also, frankly, it’s really hard to get 5 stars out of humour books from me – they tend to be very short, loosely organized, and light-weight). Jim and his wife Jeannie have five young children who they are raising in New York City, which you probably know because he mentions it in every stand up special, interview, book, and tweet he releases. So while Food, shockingly, mostly borrowed from his food-related stand-up jokes, Dad borrows from his parenting jokes. I read his second book, Food: A Love Story, first because I went through a phase a few years ago where I’d buy pretty much anything that was on sale for Kindle at less than $4.99 (I’ve since gotten this mostly under control, and my wallet and cloud storage are both very thankful), and Food went on sale long before Dad Is Fat. He just didn’t highlight them (like I just did on my kindle har har) or make them part of his stand-up.īut this is a book review, so let’s review the book. When Gaffigan had his Twitter outburst a few months ago, some people were surprised at his politics, and some were pissed that he didn’t speak up sooner, but he’s never really hidden his more progressive leanings.
I find his humour comforting and low-key, and I also eat like a toddler and enjoy it/hate myself for it, so there’s that. I like Jim Gaffigan, and I’m not apologizing for it.
