Dad is Fat


Title: Dad is Fat
Author: Jim Gaffigan
Genre: Humor
Pages: 288
Rating (out of 5 stars): ***1/2
Reviewed by: Ben
Description: Humor from Jim Gaffigan about being a dad of 5 kids in New York.
Thoughts: What can I say?  This book is basically like reading a Jim Gaffigan stand-up routine.  So, if you like him, you'll like the book.  Especially if you have kids.  As a father of four, I found myself relating to basically every single chapter, and laughing out loud often.  Which was bad because I read this between the hours of 11:30 and 4:00am as I rocked my newborn.  The one thing I didn't love about the book is that it seems like he is basically complaining about being a parent the entire time.  It's funny complaining, but if I read too much of it at once it kind of got on my nerves.  So take it in small pieces.
