Summary: Not very informative
Review: This book is good if you're looking for a good laugh, but if you're really interested in what is going on with your pregnant wife and the development of your baby, this book is not for you. I didn't learn anything about pregnancy or the development of the baby from this book. Don't waste your money. If you want to learn about pregnancy, read "Pregnancy for Dummies".

Summary: One of the better expectant father books
Review: This one is OK. The others are boring. So if you are going to spend the money on an expectant father book this one is it. It is short enough to read in a couple days. This is about how long you will have before every person on earth tells you everything you ever wanted to know about your wife's pregnancy. If you want to save a few bucks, wait for the word of mouth. Or just go to your wife's OB appointments with her and ask the Doc.

Summary: VERY SHORT-VERY SMALL
Review: I bought this for my hubby early in my pregnancy. Hubby liked it and thought it was funny and I could tell he was happy reading something from the guy's perspective but compared to all of the encyclopedias I am stuck with this book is a pocket size book with funny (not mean) anecdotes and that is about it. I thought it would have a lot more info.
Rating: 
Summary: Fun, light and entertaining
Review: As a lamaze instructor, even I got a kick of this book (despite some good natured shots at my profession!). It is also just the right length for men to digest. As I've seen time and time again in my classes, information that is direct, to the point, and mixed with levity is about the only way to keep guys interested in this topic. And that's what I liked about this book, and why I've been recommending it to my students.

Summary: Second Best of the bunch, but good
Review: When it comes to "Guy's Guides," this is a good one. But it's a) a little too thin, and b) stuck in a weird zone between actual advice and humor. I preferred "Breathe!" It's by a National Lampoon'er, so it's got no useful advice at all, just laughs. As for all the other guides to expectant fathers whose wives are expanding, etc... I say if you want to know the facts about what's really happening with your wife, read HER books. Otherwise, get some quality laughs and enjoy the ride.
Rating:
Summary: Funny, but not essential
Review: I found this book very humorous and very useful if you are looking for some kind of "close-male-friend-advice", but if you are looking for a detailed guide including very useful tips, practical solutions and advice take a look at "The Expectant Father".

Summary: Can't believe I actually read a book on pregnancy
Review: And I've never written a review on Amazon.com before. But when my wife gave this book to me, and told me that the author wrote it for the typical guy who "won't spend more than four extended trips to the john reading about pregnancy," I thought I'd have a look. Truth be told, it took a bit longer for me to read than the author predicted, but it is a GREAT bathroom book. I kept reading a few pages at a time, which worked out perfectly since there really is something to laugh at on just about every page. No one is more cynical than I am about Lamaze classes, baby books and other general baby stuff, so it really surprised me that I not only read this entire book, but I actually enjoyed it...and even learned a few things in the process. So, if you're profile is "anxious husband wanting to be helpful but no time or inclination spend hours reading hundreds of pages pregnancy material," this book is worth picking up.

Summary: Too short!
Review: Pretty funny.
But soooo short!
I liked the darker, National Lampoon humor of "Breathe! A Guy's Guide to Pregnancy." And I also liked the fact that it felt like a book. "My Boys Can Swim" felt slightly longer than "a guide to the care and operation of your new digital camera." To be fair, though, "My Boys Can Swim" was much funnier than that, and was entirely in English.

Summary: Amusing, but not much info.
Review: I got this as a gift for my husband, and it was amusing, but not particularly informative. It does give some ideas on what the man should expect from his wife as she goes through the million physical and mental changes that come with pregnancy. Overall, I'd recommed getting this from the library rather than buying it.

Summary: This is the only book I could get my husband to read
Review: This is the only book I could get my husband to read about pregnancy. But this is written in a style that kept him interested, and I even heard him lauging several times. Very well written!
