Summary: A great, funny little book....
Review: Having watched the TV show every week with my 13 year old daughter (one time a week we are actually entertained together), I had an idea this would be a funny little book. But I just couldn't stop laughing. My wife would look at me like I was crazy when I read a few passages to her. Made me realize that it's truly for us dads. There is so little in the media that we can identify with as fathers of daughters that this is an oasis of "yes, there are others going through it as well, you're not alone". It helps you to understand it's nothing really personal, just the normal cycle, the way of the world. This is truly a "User's Manual". Hang onto this book during the storm, then pass it on to the next sailor as he comes up the pike.Oops, gotta go pick up my daughter at the mall now, better run....;)

Summary: Bravo!
Review: I just couldn't stop laughing at this book. The life Bruce chronicles with his kids is absolutely hilarious. Even though it's written from a father's point of view, as a mother of a preteen daughter I could relate and sometimes I laughed so hard tears came to my eyes. Bravo Bruce Cameron! Can't wait for your second book! Debbie Farmer, author 'Don't Put Lipstick on the Cat'

Summary: Instant reassurance for frustrated fathers
Review: W. Bruce Cameron depicts teenage girls to a T in this easy-to-read masterful description of modern adolescent life. He has somehow managed to crawl into the confused, everything-is-a-crisis minds of teenage girls to help frustrated fathers better understand where they stand in the lives of their estrogen-driven daughters. As a father of three teenage girls myself, I commiserated with his hilarious descriptions of radical mood swings, theatrical expressions, rolling eyes, exaggerated sighs and "that's not my job" attitudes. The conversations he chronicles with his kids will keep you in stitches. Written for specifically for fathers, I wound up reading many of the passages aloud to my wife and my righteously indignant daughters. My wife and I laughed so hard tears came to our eyes as we saw our own girls aptly described in this hard to put down book. Eight Simple Rules was so funny, I purchased copies for other DODOs (dads of daughters only) that I know. This book is a must read for any man who already shares bathroom space with a teenage girl -- or for some poor soul who may someday try to raise one.
