Babyhood

Rating:
Summary: I loved this book.
Review: When I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down. It was so funny, I could relate to everything in there because most of it happened to me at one time or another...I think thats what makes it so good. I would definitely recommend this to everyone, especially those who have kids or a baby on the way!!!

Rating:
Summary: Accurate, insightful, and hilarious
Review: "Babyhood" is a great, lighthearted read. If you are a parent (especially a father), you will find yourself nodding in agreement and laughing out loud at most of Reiser's anecdotes and observations because you will have lived them. Knowing that Reiser is Rich and Famous makes the book even more fun as you realize that the pitfalls and joys of having children know no economic or social boundaries.

Summary: Without a doubt , the worst of Reiser's "hood's".
Review: From start to finish Reiser's cynical book on life were an excellent cure for my insomnia.

Summary: Light fare, but fun
Review: I bought Reiser's Babyhood on a whim, when my husband and I began to talk seriously about having children. I found it amusing, at times moving, and occasionally, it really rang true for me: I certainly remember "the power of a two inch paper stick," as I am now pregnant! I enjoyed reading bits to my husband as well. I find pregnancy wonderful - but weighty - after all, my life will change for always after the birth of our child. Books which treat pregnancy, childbirth and marriage with irreverance, humour and sheer silliness really help!! If you like Reiser's show, Mad About You, you will most likely really enjoy Babyhood - it is a fun counterpoint to the many weightier tomes on pregnancy and childbirth! (And you will find yourself buying at least one of these, as Reiser points out!)

Rating:
Summary: A RELAXING AND ENJOYABLE PIECE OF WORK
Review: Certainly not "An out-loud laugh on everypage", but you read it with a smile on your face. The book definetely increases your respect to your father, while making you think twice before having a child. It can offer you a pleasent evening after a very tired and excessively serious day.

Rating:
Summary: Sit back, relax, and put your mind on hold with this book
Review: Frankly, I have found both of Paul Reiser's books to be like bubble gum. Easy to read, not extremely profound, but pretty darn funny and enjoyable. When reading this book, I got the weird feeling that he was right there, looming over my shoulder, narrating his anecdotes up close and personal. Methinks he finds himself to be humorously witty, so let's "humor" him. Buy the book, take a break, and laugh it up. Try it, you'll like it.

Rating:
Summary: Just marvelous
Review: Reiser exceeds himself. This book is as funny, moving and well-written as "Couplehood", his previous effort. If anything, it's even better. Whether you already have kids or haven't even decided if you'll ever want to, you're sure to enjoy this book.

Rating:
Summary: No kids, and I still howled!
Review: This book is one of a kind. Even if you don't have children this book will almost have you wanting them! Paul's recollection of his and his wifes thoughts about having a baby, to having a baby, is without a doubt being some of the best reading and humor I have seen in a long time! Thanks! The world owes you one!

Summary: Belly-Laugh Book
Review: I love this book! I really didn't think it would be as good as it was, but I'm glad I read it in my room because I let out some loud guffaws. Babies nicknamed "Steak", peanut butter and lamb chops, this book has it all!

Rating:
Summary: Comical, True, so very True, Honest
Review: I had a hard time keeping the giggling to myself. This book is a must, especially if you are having kids. Mine are teenagers, but I remember when... and the book brought back a lot of the remember when's. This book is light and honest. The father's tend to have no clue, but this book proves it.
