I was introduced to Jim Gaffigan's humor during a very intense Wilderness Medicine training. Prior to our exam, we watched his skit on "camping". I promptly went home and watched it again on YouTube. I ordered Jim Gaffigan's book "Dad Is Fat" because I so enjoy his comedy. As a maternal child health nurse, I also appreciate his support of home birth, breastfeeding, and attachment parenting. His humor is fun, and clean enough for the kids. I am sorry to say that I did not feel the quite as enthusiastic about his book. I think it would be enjoyable to someone who has not seen his acts, but I found a couple of the chapters verbatim from his videos, which kind of took the "funny" out of it for me. So, I don't want to discourage anyone else who needs a good laugh, because I know you will find one there, but I couldn't bring myself to finish this one.
This book was provided to me free of charge by Blogging for Books in exchange for an unbiased review.
