Reactions:
“Jim Gaffigan has done it again. What a great book. I found this very funny and heartwarming. I would never be afraid to buy anything that had Jim Gaffigans name on it. I am from Wisconsin and listened to this book with a brat in one hand and some sharp cheddar in the other.” – K. Shoemaker
“Lightweight observations surrounding most anything related to what you put in your mouth. Very enjoyable!” – Andy
“Do not let the title mislead you: this is NOT an erotic cookbook. In the entire oeuvre, there is only one recipe; though, mercifully, it is for a very sexy hot dog. Hilarious!” – Christine
“This book misses the punch and pace of “Dad is Fat” – which I loved. It needs to have more zingers, less rambles. Maybe this was too broad of a topic for a 7+ hour book. I will listen to Jim Gaffigan again, but hope for a better result.” – Margaret
“If you are going to read a comic’s book, you should get the audiobook if they are narrating. Comics understand delivery, even if they are not professional narrators. There were a few places where it was clear that Gaffigan was reading, but most of the time the delivery was good and more similar to a stand up show than a narrated book. That is also part of why I did not enjoy the book (and Dad is Fat) as much as I thought I would. Yes, there were lots of funny moments. And I still definately recommend it if you are a Gaffigan fan. The problem is that Gaffigan is a comic, not a writer. As a comic he is focused on one liner and short funny stories. So the book really wasn’t structured as a whole. It all loosely connected around the theme of food. (And Gaffigan is good talking about food.) But it lacked cohesion.” – Adam Shields
