Very good book about becoming a dad. It is written in a down-to-earth style that is not daunting to read. I learned a lot from it, especially that I'm not the only one to be terrified to become a dad. I would recommend it to anyone that is expecting children.
This was a fantastically funny look at what happens during pregnancy and birth. I laughed so many times as I read through it and I still laugh as I catch myself doing things he talked about a new dad doing. From beginning to end (even the glossary at the end) I found myself laughing. This is a must read for any soon to be dad!
Felt I had to read this when my wife was pregnant the first time. Glad I did as it was very useful-especially when explaining women's pregnancy mood swings, which by he way, get more frightening as the weeks roll on. Dads- well worth the read.
Freak!! Felt like someone shoulda told me to read this before we decided to have a kid lol... one quote "I've been fiddling w/ my words and was trying to find a good time to tell you this, but.. Ummm yeah... You're life is over!!"

My husband actually read this one which is saying a lot as he's not big on the self-help genre. Helpful and funny for both of us.
A good no-nonsense book for expecting dads. Pretty funny with some reassuring commentary: everything is going to be fine.
This was a good first book to read for a soon-to-be dad. Funny, insightful and not overly complicated.
One of the best books I have read in a long time the author is funny and the book reads like conversation (i like that).
Simple, lighthearted and easy to understand. I got some good laughs!
