Very repetitive and not funny at all
|
|
This is a brilliant idea for a book. The heading 'What Your Wife will be Complaining about' for each month sold it to me. What a shame the rest of the humour is completely lame (the jokes wouldn't make it into an ITV sitcom), relentlessly repetitive and utterly uninformative. I didn't make it past page 20. For a funny and well-written book for fathers-to-be I'd recommend The Baby Owner's Manual, by L and J Borgenicht.

Unbelievably Funny!

I sat down in the food court at the local mall and started reading the book and I laughed so hard that people stopped and stared at me. My husband is going to love this. I'd give it a million stars and recommend this book to any expectant father.

A very, very funny book
|

Brilliantly done comic relief for the overstressed expectant father who is a little burned out on pregnancy info. Each month of pregnancy has its own chapter, and each chapter begins with "what she'll be complaining about this month". The book probably doesn't have tons of useful info, and shouldn't be approached that way, but it is very funny and does serve to get you into the right mindset. If you're a newly-pregnant woman, and your partner is resisting the harder reading, start him off with this one. THEN give him the hard stuff...

Highly informative

|
Men, when your wife asks if you've been reading all the pregnancy books she's bought you, this book gives pithy quotes which will set her at ease. Of course, you'll have to hide your face in your pillow to cover up that smile! I give this to all the pregnant dads I know.

OK but Repetitive
|
|
This book does provide some relevant info, but overall is OVERLY humourous and gives repetetive info. on what to expect month-by-month. I read it in one sitting and haven't used it for reference again.
