I read Jim Gaffigan's other book, Food: A Love Story a couple of years ago and loved it because I could completely relate to the love a foodie can have for good food. I had already experienced Gaffigan through some of his stand-up comedy, especially his food-related sketches. His jokes concerning Hot Pockets, bacon, and cinnamon rolls are some of the funniest bits of comedy I have ever seen.
So, I was going into this with high hopes, but not really knowing if the humor was going to be a general nature or not. Unfortunately, the humor was only about parenting. As someone who is not a parent, I could not relate as well to the jokes. That said, the humor was still pretty funny and I found myself enjoying the book, but probably not as much as I would if I were a parent.
If you are a parent and need to laugh a bit about raising kids, then I highly recommend this book. If you've never read anything by Jim Gaffigan before, then please check out Food: A Love Story!
