Title: Fatherneed : Why Father Care is as Essential as Mother Care for Your Child by Kyle Pruett ISBN: 0-7679-0737-X Publisher: Broadway Pub. Date: 08 May, 2001 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $12.95 |

Summary: Father cheerleading
Comment: A very repetitive book which is amazing in its poor scholarship and very selective interpretation of research. The intent of the author is to show us all how very, very important fathers are, and he takes this chant to an extreme that is almost humorous in its degree of excess. The generalizations he makes about fathers and how they interact with their children only are true in a minority of the families I know; in most families, there is a mixture of styles depending on the personalities of parents and children. In my own case, I don't relate to his generalities at all, and don't see his pronouncements reflected in my own family.
Rating: 5
Summary: wonderful
Comment: I have read many books on the topic and this seems to talk directly to me. No mushy stuff, directly to the point. I also like the fact that it really challenges fathers to take more active role as everyday parent with children.
Rating: 4
Summary: Overlong, but good for trade
Comment: Pruett's attempt at expanding what could have been a chapter in an academic text into a self-help book for the masses is admirable. Yes, I think fathers and fathers-in-waiting should skim the book. Some sloppy work: doesn't the author know the difference between Penn and Penn State? But overall, makes a good case, if you can excuse the gratuitous fawning over "single mothers." The "as you'll read in the next chapter" stuff was annoying.
