I actually preferred listening to this book over watching or listening to one of Gaffigan’s stand-up routines because it came across as more intimate to me like we were sitting at the kitchen table sharing stories. For example, dealing with family during the holidays, ugh. The reason I liked the book was because there were many times where it validated what I already knew to be true about being a parent. When I heard that the next chapter was going to be “You win, McDonalds”, I knew that I was going to be agreeing with what he was about to be saying.Īnother reason I appreciated the book was because it helped me to see more humor in the parenting situations that aren’t always humorous. Since Gaffigan narrated his own book, Dad is Fat came across as a series of stand-up comedy routines or essays on various subjects related to parenting. Of all the comedians, I enjoy Jim Gaffigan because he is a relatively clean comedian and his topics don’t cause me to cringe. As a departure from my usual fiction novel, Dad is Fat was a good book and an even funnier book to listen to.
