shayneh 's review for:

Dad Is Fat by Jim Gaffigan
3.0

Enjoyable read, and while Gaffigan is funny, he doesn't do as well in essay form as in actual stand-up. I think the constraints of a book--even an audiobook--put a cramp on his style. Still enjoyable, just not as funny as either (1) Gaffigan on a stage or (2) a real essayist (Barry? Sedaris?) in a book.
