Not quite as funny as Go the F**K to Sleep, but it's up there!

*I received a free ARC of You Have to Fucking Eat from Akashic Books via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest and unbiased review*
ARC received on September 24th, 2104
Sarcastic wit, and the story rings true! My kids all ate everything we put in front of them, more or less, but I've seen kids who hardly ate anything at all for ages...

What can I possibly say about this book that hasn't already been said? Hilarious, timely, apt - and I'm not even a parent!
And having Samuel L. Jackson do the audio recording - brilliant.

So I just spent a good ten minutes trying to figure out how to shelve this book…it’s a Children’s Book, but you would never want your kid to read it. Anyway! By this point you’re all probably aware of the book called “Go the F— to Sleep” and the stir it caused when it hit shelves, well You Have to F—ing Eat” is a continuation of that same frustrated parent and stubborn child.
The great thing about this book is that the pictures are irrelevant. I’m not saying the pictures are not well done, they are actually quite lovely (and look the part of a children’s book) however I listened to this on audio and enjoyed it immensely…if not more because of Bryan Cranston. Bryan Cranston is the actor who played Walter White on Breaking Bad, and he has the perfect agitated voice for the role of the parent who wants their kid to just sit down and eat for once.
It’s not the most groundbreaking book or the most well written, but it is hilarious. Because seriously I don’t even have kids of my own and I’ve had to deal with this. I’ve had to help feed kids, who somehow think they can make it through the day without it, and I know we’ve all seen the parent who has to growl-beg their kid in the restaurant It’s nothing to be ashamed of, and that’s why it’s great to see a book that points out the humor without being preachy or giving out advice that probably won’t work.
It’s a fun one, and it’s even better on audio!

Like many of my friends, I bought and listened to this because of Samuel L. Jackson narrating it. And while I'm sure it's great on its own, but it is a prime piece of comedy gold with Jackson reading it. Highly recommend it.

Illustrations were interesting. I couldn’t bring myself to read this to my daughter. It didn’t make me laugh but I could see where some of it could be considered funny.

A children's bedtime story book... for parents. This is a perfect book for that night when your teething toddler or colicky infant won't stop fussing, won't stop crying, won't go to sleep.

Okay, I don't have kids, but my partner and I live with two otherwise awesome skinny, old cats who regularly go on hunger strikes, which is worrisome enough, but hunger strikes combined with begging for food that is promptly ignored, despite all attempts to vary kind of food, temperature of food, happy, please-eat-me songs with food--okay, stopping now. This made me laugh until I cried. That is all.
