4 - If you DON'T have kids, expect to be a little baby-crazy by the end of this book. A lot of the joke delivery might seem off, especially when he recycles a joke from one of his shows (that happens a few times). It's Jim Gaffigan reading a book by Jim Gaffigan. The book took a lot more focus than a normal book. There were times when I would look up to read a street sign, and all of a sudden, Jim Gaffigan was talking about something completely different, and I barely had time to digest what he just started talking about 3 minutes ago. The chapters are very short, and the result is a very jarring transition between chapters. Each chapter ends with a joke, which is usually a callback from earlier in the chapter - and then the next chapter just starts. 2 - There's a rhythm to this book that is a little jarring in an audiobook format. There are a few chuckles in here, but you won't identify with them. If you're a college kid that likes jokes about Hot Pockets, you might be able to skip this one. I know that seems obvious, but if you aren't a dad, or aren't thinking of becoming a dad, then you might not really like this book. The book is really great, but I feel like there are a couple of things Gaffigan fans should know before they start listening/reading: 1 - This is a book about being a dad. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? What about Jim Gaffigan’s performance did you like? This sounds a lot like his stand-up, but at times, it's pretty obvious that he's trying to read word-for-word. I haven't listened to a book, but I've listened to his stand-up. If you’ve listened to books by Jim Gaffigan before, how does this one compare?

I would have been reading in his voice anyway, so why not cut out the middleman? Gaffigan edits a lot of the passages to be unique to the audio book, and his voices are a big part of his standup routine. Would you consider the audio edition of Dad Is Fat to be better than the print version? Good for Gaffigan fans - better for expecting dads
