“They say the best things in life are free.”

From Tim Hawkins’ Diary of a Jackwagon.

A Christian comedian, Tim Hawkins uses his book to provide his (hilarious) opinion on marriage, kids, aging, religion, and so much more.  Nothing is super serious, but Hawkins’ personality and heart definitely shine through on each page.  This family-friendly comedian walks readers through lots of areas of life that are often ignored (especially in the Christian community) in a way that truly highlights the hilarity that the mundane can provide.  Definitely not afraid to use his personal life as an illustration, Hawkins proves that there is always something to laugh at in the world, even if that something is himself.

Fans of Tim Hawkins’ comedy will be thrilled to read his journal/sorta-biography that feels like reading through one of his shows, with funny “tweet” ideas and even some of the lyrics of Hawkins’ original songs to add that extra level of fun to any given topic.  Short chapters allows for Hawkins to cover a wide variety of topics, but also provides a quick and easy read for readers of all ages and skill levels.  While Hawkins’ faith is clearly a major part of his life, motivation, and writing, it is not overbearing in a way that makes the book exclusive to Christians; those with a religious background may have more to laugh at, but each reader will find the comedy hilarious, regardless of religion.  Diary of a Jackwagon provides a blend of subtle and laugh-out-loud humor that will leave readers smiling long after the book is finished.
