I really expected this book to knock my socks off. Fetus's Guide to the First Three Trimesters? Written by one of the writers for The Daily Show? Co-author of America: The Book? This was going to be a total win.
Meh.
Don't get me wrong, this book has some seriously funny stuff in it. David Javerbaum has some moments of sheer genius. I mean, he DOES write for The Daily Show, after all, and of course I love that.
But this book is really profane. I'm not one who mi More...

I bought this book because I saw the author on The Daily Show, and, well, we are expecting, so it seemed to make sense. David Javerbaum was absolutely hysterical on TV so I figured the book would be equally funny.
I found the book to be generally enjoyable, but I'm not sure where it fits. I've already read "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and the book does follow a very similar structure - taking you through each month, listing the changes that the fetus goes through an More...

I was going back and forth between two and three stars for this one. I "like" a lot of the books I read, but don't feel compelled to read them again (which is when I would give something 4 or 5 stars), and I decided I liked this book at least a little less than most other books I read, which is why I gave it two stars. If there had been less liberal use of the f word to describe sexual intercourse and other profanities strewn throughout the book, I may have rated it higher. I just don'

Hilarious, profane, and brutally honest. Forget "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and all the other paranoia-inducing books that cover pregnancy that are out there; you need a book that will have you laughing your ass off from start to finish when you're about to face motherhood. I'd recommend this to fathers-to-be and even people who either aren't having kids yet, or those who have already had them.

I selected "read" because I've read all I plan to read. The idea was somewhat clever -- pregnancy and birth from the perspective of the fetus. The problem was that the idea got old by the second section of the book (not the second chapter, the second section within the first chapter).
Damon bought it at the airport. He thinks the book is hilarious.

HILLARIOUS!!!! This guide from one of the writers of Daily Show takes a fetus through all three semesters of pregnancy, with jabs at Moms and Dads, not to mention the whole baby industry. Get this for the woman who is expecting.

This is such a hilarious book! I hardly EVER laugh out loud when reading and I was doing that almost all the time with this one. Even if you're not pregnant, nor have ever been, it's a great read! Although, I think you'd get more out of it if you have gone through a pregnancy once before reading;-)

I had high hopes for this book after reading the forward (I swear I was rolling on the floor laughing) but the rest of the book wasn't nearly as funny- had its moments but over all was a dud.

Supposed to be a parody of WTEWYE. I expected it to be funnier, but once you've read one pregnancy joke, you've pretty much read them all. Not that great at all. I just skimmed it.

Very funny, ranging from the NSFW-humor to the silly. Great for parents or parents-to-be who like humor from "The Daily Show" or "Colbert Report" or the like.

I was bored by the end of the first chapter. It may just be me - I never enjoy crude parody.

This is a parody of What To Expect When You're Expecting. It's supposed to be a humorous look at pregnancy from the baby's perspective. The only problem was... it wasn't that humorous. Sometimes, I chuckled, but that's about it.

After all the seriousness of "real" pregnancy books, this one is good for a laugh. It reads a lot like the Daily Show books ("America" and "Earth"), no surprise given the author. There were several parts that had me laughing out loud. I recommend it as a reprieve from all the week-by-week and what-to-expect stuff that you end up reading during pregnancy!

Funny, but the gag gets a little tired and forced at times. Not bad to flip through while on the john.
