Food: A Love Story

Short Review: I love Jim Gaffigan. I think he is a great comedian. I think he is an ok writer. The problem with his books (both Dad is Fat and this one) is that they are loosely connected series of jokes and stories, not cohesive books. So I really enjoyed a lot of the jokes, but it felt like reading a joke book. There was a hint in his chapter on Hot Pockets that he knew he could write about what it was like to come up with and tell the jokes about Hot Pockets. So I think there is potential for better books in the future. But honestly, I think your time is better used renting a DVD or going to a show instead of reading the book.
