Customer comments on this selection.
 Wife Approved!!
We bought this book for my husband and I read it as soon as it arrived. It is HILARIOUS!!! He wasn't too jazzed to read a pregnancy book, but he sat down to read it and I heard him GIGGLING! Wonderfully and respectfully written.
 Funny, but light on material
I did enjoy reading the book, it was a light hearted account of pregnancy, but was expecting a bit more substance. Some of the more intimate details of the whole experience could have been expanded upon, such as sex (or lack of?) and the full spectrum of childbirth.
Still, it was an entertaining read.
 Poor, uninspiring and a waste of money
This book is exactly what the author claims it to be: the story of a man who never wanted to be a father and to whom this seems to have happened accidentally. Until then, we're ok. Soon we realize that the author has no or very little education on pregnancy, child education or any sort of academic background granting him the right to claim providing fathers-to-be with a "surviving guide".
In reality, the macho and insensitive approach to the book makes one feel that pregnancy is a burden and that, whatever you do as a father-to-be, just do the bare minimum to survive and hope for the best.
I guess in this day and age, everyone believes they have a right to express themselves and publish a book. In our capitalist mind, it's OK, but all this book is doing is taking space on a shelf in some bookstore.
I strongly disadvise reading this if you want to learn anything about how to help your partner, wife or girlfriend to get through pregnancy. And mostly, I strongly disadvise reading this book if you want tips on how to deal with your new role and responsibilities as a father.
A Must Have
This book is a must have for a first time father. Funny yet educational with a down to earth twist!
HILARIOUS BOOK--GREAT GIFT FOR NEW DADSs
As a mother of 2 boys, I absolutey LOVED this book. It's real, raw, and at times excruciatingly honest. As a mom, it's nice to get inside a dad's mind and see what the other half is thinking about the pregnancy/birth/baby process. Michael Crider takes you there with ease and humor. This book is a MUST have for expecting dads and should be available beside every "What to Expect When You're Expecting" as it's whitty counterpart. If you haven't read it yet, then stop reading this and purchase it. You won't be sorry.
