Summary: This book is a blast, but not for the politically correct!!!
Comment: One of the nurses in my OB's practice recommended this book to my husband and I. She warned me not to read it in a public place, unless I wouldn't mind the embarrassment of laughing out loud spontaneously in front of total strangers. My husband read it on the train ride home from work. He said the nurse was right...this book was hilarious and kept him laughing, sometimes out loud, for the full ride home. He actually read the book cover to cover in about an hour, which the author notes is about all the time men will dedicate to reading about pregnancy. Sad but true! Even though this was a guy's guide, since I could fill a section at a library with the books I have read on pregnancy in preparation for my first, I figured I might as well read just one more. So I did...and I loved it. Now, I must admit some of the cartoons are a bit over the edge and I found myself asking my husband repeatedly "is this how you think?" (to which he answered on most occasions, "yes"). But as long as you have a sense of humor, you'll really enjoy this unusual treatment of the subject of pregnancy. I'd highly recommend it.

Summary: Definitely Read this around your wife...
Comment: I read this book when I was pregnant...and promptly gave it to every one of my girlfriends, who promptly gave it to their husbands...they ALL LOVED IT!! You will laugh out load, guaranteed! This is a Humor book, with a capital "h." And it's for couples, not just "the men." It is not a medical book, not a substitute for your doctor's advice (can't believe, in a review for a humor book, that I have to include that disclaimer, but alas...), and not a definitive guide to all things baby. But if you're a soon-to-be dad (and mom), you'll recognize the simple truism that in all good humor lies a grain (sometimes a whole shaker!) of truth. When pregnancy blues get you down, this will pick you up. Buy this book--you won't regret it!
Disclaimer #2: If you were born without a funny bone and healthy sense of irony, don't bother. Hopefully there's a comedian or two contributing to your family gene pool!

Summary: A Deep Breath for the Expectant Father
Comment: I got this book from my wife shortly after we discovered we were expecting our own little bundle of joy. First, this book isn't going to enlighten anyone about the ups, downs, and pitfalls of pregnancy. What it does do is take a light hearted look at the subject. There were a few bits that were informative, but for the most part, it was just a breath of fresh air.
As the author put it, if you want a lot of details about pregnancy, consult your wife/partner's ever growing library on the subject. This book is just fun. After reading about how fragile women supposedly become during pregnancy (and I acknowledge that it is an emotional period fueled by harmonal mood swings--and thank God it doesn't happen to me), this is a nice change, written from a guy's point of view.
Davis hits about everything, just not thoroughly. So far, I can vouch for his description of the exhiliration one gets when finding out he is going to be a father. As George Costanza said in that one episode of Seinfeld "My Boys Can Swim!"
This is a great gift for an expectant father, especially for one that will be a father for the first time.
