I came across it looking for audiobooks, and I know Shatner did the TV adaptation.
Where I got the book
Greeeeenwich!
Expectations
Someone's crotchety old dad saying funny things.
So how was it?
The book is based on the twitter account Shit My Dad Says, which (as you’d expect) consists of funny and insightful quotes from Halpern’s dad. But the book itself is less “funny shit my dad says,” and more “life lessons from my dad, who often says funny shit.”
It’s fairly good, as far as humorous essays go.
Recommendation
I imagine this would mostly appeal to young men, and to people who are close with their fathers (err… not that I’m not the latter).
Feels
Coming-of-age, family bonding. What I imagine Everybody Loves Raymond is trying, and utterly failing, to be.
