Didn't go down well with me

Food a love story
by Jim Gaffigan

Wow. Did that get old!

Even a very funny comedian should be taken in sound bites. A series of twenty-minute comedy routines would be perfect for this guy. He's very, very funny--at first.

I especially enjoyed his description of the regional cuisine of the United States. It consists of bugs (Northeastern States), steak (Texas and the Midwest), Mexican (the southwest), and coffee (Northeast). At some point he got bored with this endeavor--or else my IPod glitched--and he launched into a description of his favorite foods, favorite fast-food restaurants, holidays, and meals. And so on and so on. Ad nauseum.

I'd recommend the comedy act, but not the book. Unless possibly you're a person who has a very short attention span and listens to a book in ten-minute snippets. That might work.
