I love Tim Hawkins! I got to go to one of his shows and got into meet him. When I found out he wrote a book, I knew I had to read it. It was so funny and a great Christian read. I highly recommend this book especially for Christians.

It was amusing, not necessarily rollicking the whole way through, but I left some tears on page 102 laughing hard enough in public tears came to my eyes as I tried to keep from annoying people around me. The fact that he got me to LOL likely a handful of times is saying something since I rarely do. A light read. I do find Tim funnier in person because there's just something about the exaggerated delivery that makes things funnier than on paper.

This was fine. I think his comedy style just doesn't translate well to the page. There's a lot of content here that's also in his stand-up, which I've seen most of, and it's not nearly as funny in print. There are also sections of almost stream of consciousness rambling that at times is almost incomprehensible, to be honest. There were a couple of laughs, but for me, I was pretty disappointed.

Tim's funny, genuinely funny, and this book is a hoot. Literal lol moments abounded for me especially because Tim's narration of the audiobook is outstanding - it makes the book feel like a personal stand-up routine (including some of his incredible songs). Very fun.

(full disclosure: the agency I work for represents Tim and this book)

I had to read this book when I was alone, otherwise I was getting funny looks due to all the snorting and snickering I could not hold back. If you are familiar with Tim's humor on YouTube you will find more of the same in this book.

Tim Hawkins is so funny. I love his clean comedy, perfect for the whole family! If you are familiar with his routines, most of this will be stuff you've heard already, but it's still funny to hear again. I would highly recommend the audiobook so you can hear some of his songs, not to mention his inflections are such a big part of his comedy.

A fun way to read Tim's comedy but if you've seen him or heard him in person this is sort of a re-cap with some new material thrown in.
