Summary: Good for a Laugh
Review: As a teenage boy, I can definitely see the humor in this book. It's nice to know that most Dads make life hard for the guy dating their daughter, and that I'm not the only one who has to run the gauntlet. It's also interesting (and disturbing) to know what I have to look forward to should I one day have a daughter myself. To all the young lads like myself: If nothing else, this book lets you know that there's always someone out there who has to deal with worse. Just thank God that it's not you.

Summary: Great book
Review: Having a teenage daughter of my own, I found this book to be not only hilareous but to really hit home. How you have to let your daughter out of the car early so she won't be seen with you. How you really aren't allowed to ask her friends questions on the phone. Really a great book. Excellent!!

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: Absolutely hilarious!
Review: I am amazed that there are people out there with teenage daughters who have not read this book! This hilarious work could have been sub-titled, "I feel your pain." Not just a series of jokes, Cameron has compiled a thorough examination of all the aspects of having a teenage daughter--Dating, Braces, Phone Calls, Curfew, Prom, etc. And in the end he ties it all together with love and caring for his daughters, so that I found myself actually crying (not from laughter, as I had with all the previous chapters, but with an outpouring of emotions that I felt about my OWN father.)
I cannot recommend this book more highly. You really need to read it even if your daughter (or son!) is not yet in the teen years. It is a wonderful book about families and parenthood.

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: This book is great!
Review: I loved this book. My uncle who bought this book so he can better understand his daughter who is of my age, showed this book to me and asked me what I thought of it. Because my cousin is much more a rebel than me, I of course sided with the dad in the "arguments" that took place in the book. If you are a father out there that doesn't quite understand your daughter, this would be a good book for you to try. It gives tips, do and don'ts, and the most important how to handle certain situations as smoothly as possible. This book is not just like that, but it's very funny as well. If I could say one thing to Bruce, it'd be GREAT JOB! From a 16yr old.
