I must admit that I knew the author many years ago while he was a "lazy bachelor," so consider this a biased review. Apparently the author died unexpectedly last year. RIP Pat.

The book is short and easy to read, and should be appreciated by anyone who has eaten too much canned chili at some point in his life. The book has a whole section devoted to reviews of fast food restaurants, another on preparing frozen pizza, another on the virtues of aluminum foil in cooking. I recommend this to those who want a book that is light, quick, and pleasant--the literary equivalent of a grilled cheese sandwich.

At first glance I thought this book was geared towards a male audience. I never realized that I was a lazy bachelor myself until I read the book. I guess laziness is the great equalizer when it comes to the kitchen.

A fun and practical read, the author's writing style reminds me of one of my favorite humorists, Dave Barry. So I hope this book does well enough to enable him to continue his writing career. If he does, he should write something like "Lazy Bachelor Haute Cuisine" - all the better to fool my friends into thinking I'm the next Martha Stewart.
