Rating: Summary: Great, for the price Review: ... this book is definitely worth it to read about babies from a real guy's perspective. Heck, you can only read about placentas and diaper rash so much before you go woozy and start playing "Once In a Lifetime" ("How did I get here?") by the Talking Heads non-stop. My wife is due in one month and I got some good advice from this book about things best known in advance (work to keep the romance alive). I'll read it again in a few months and I'm sure I'll get some more tips from it.

Rating: Summary: Clearly the essential book for fathers Review: Although we read other books on fatherhood, Mr. Barron's content and tone were the most accessible, realistic, and - in hindsight - accurate. His humorous delivery allowed us to discuss the issues of parenting in a more relaxed atmosphere than many other books inspire. We continue to refer to it as our marriage grows and changes. We now give this book to all our friends who are expecting.

Rating: Summary: Funny, sweet, yet real! Review: I am a mother of an 18 month-old daughter and just today read this book at a Barnes & Noble book store while she was napping in her stroller (which happens rarely.) The book made me laugh. It made me feel good about our own parenting: nobody's perfect! I bought the book for my husband as a Father's Day gift. I recommend this book to every new parent (daddy and mommy.)
Rating: Summary: Fathers-if you buy one book, buy this one!! Review: I saw Mr. Barron interviewed on the "Today" show. My wife will have a baby in one month and I was having a hard time finding a book for fathers. This book was the answer to my long search. This book was extremely insightful and had tons of great suggestions. I would definitely recommend this book to any new father...also look for his first book, which is just as great!

Rating: Summary: Good For Kindling Review: My sister gave me this book after the birth of my daughter. After reading a good portion of it, I started to wonder if this guy is a horse-toothed jacka$$ or the most effeminate male in America. Then I thought, wait a minute; he's probably both. What was the motivation for writing this book? To try and show everyone how perfect his life is or, to collect a shat load of money for doling out common-sense advice? After reading about him carrying his wife into the bedroom for the third time, I started to get annoyed. If you're the type of guy that eagerly waits for the new Volkswagen models to come in - then you'll love this book. Look, in all seriousness, you already know what to do; it's innate. Don't waste time with a silly book written by a guy with no credentials besides having kids.
