This book was funny and interesting. i loved the way the author portrayed his journey.. I laughed and reflected on my own weight loss journey and enjoyed the book overall

O'Callaghan is definitely not for everyone. He can be preachy, he can be a bit of an arse, but he is steadfast in his beliefs and for that I can commend him.

Fat Gay Vegan is everything I expect from O'Callaghan. This is not a book for carnivores. If you enjoy eating meat products or buying products made from animals, skip this book, it is not for you unless you are considering changing your diet and lifestyle.

The title is the thing that drew me to this book. A book with a title like this was sure to be an interesting and funny read. And it was. I liked it, it did make me laugh a few times and it was certainly interesting enough to keep my reading on. 

As a relatively new vegetarian I have thought about becoming vegan a few times, even trying out a solely plant based diet out every now and again. This book did help me to understand the  reasons for choosing a vegan lifestyle and the ways in which to handle the change. It did however make me feel like a bad person for not being vegan, that my efforts as a vegetarian were not quite good enough. 

That said it was a thought provoking book that explained veganism in detail and I'd recommend it to anyone thinking of making the change. I also made the pesto recipe which was delicious.
