Book Reviews of My Boys Can Swim!: The Official Guy's Guide to Pregnancy
Book Review: Great read for first time fathers!
Summary: 5 Stars
We are pregnant with our first child. I bought this book for my husband. He wants to be informed, wants to know what to expect, but does not want to be overwhelmed with each and every detail. He loved this book. Read it basically in a day. He said he would pass it on to any new fathers. It as small, simplistic and written from a guys perspective. Great!Book Review: Hilariously Funny, Laugh out loud book
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for my husband and I wanted to read a little bit to make sure it was the right book for him and I couldn't put it down. It has some funny stuff in it. He's very honest about things and I thought it would be very appropriate for my husband who's been wanting a baby for a couple years now. Totally funny, recommend it for any man who's about to have a baby or who wants one.Book Review: Not what we expected in the least.
Summary: 2 Stars
This book was a complete joke to us. My husband probably wasn't the prime target audience for this book - this book seems to be aiming at men who could care less about any aspect of the pregnancy and just want to read something to make their wife happy. Since my husband actually CARES about the pregnancy and wants to know what is going on, this was NOT the book for him.
This book held basically NO real information at all other than the most basic observations (maternity clothes cost a lot, you will be spending a lot of money, never tell your wife she looks fat, your wife may be gassy, don't pick a name that causes teasing). Seriously? This is the OFFICAL guide? /rolleyes/ My digital camera manual is more in-depth.
Yes, I get that it's supposed to be humorous - and I did laugh a few times. But it definitely wasn't worth the money. This book was an hour read (at most) and I was left feeling completely ripped off at having spent $10 on it - maybe $3.95 in the bargain bin. It should be called "A Guy's Humorous Pocket Guide to Pregnancy" - I didn't pay attention to the pages or the size (this thing is TINY - it could almost fit in my back pocket!).
This will be the last time I buy a book just by seeing the number of stars and without reading more of the reviews.
Book Review: My husband loves! We now give to all our expectant father friends!
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked up several books for my husband when we were expecting.. and this was the only one he read cover-to-cover (helps that it's super short).. and he loved it. Whenever he hears a friend is expecting he mentions this book to the 'dad-to-be'... we're handing these out to expectant dads this father's day.Book Review: for the reluctant father!
Summary: 4 Stars
a fantastic book to introduce reluctant fathers to the world of parenthood. If you can't get him to a doctors appt or reading "what to expect when youre expecting" this is the book for you.
