Book Reviews of Questions For My Father: Finding The Man Behind Your Dad
Book Review: Reminder of what's important
Summary: 4 Stars
The questions in this book allow the reader to muse on their own relationships with their parents and others close to them, and hopefully to realise how important it is to make time to communicate within families. Buy it to read, think and keep it visible on your bookshelf as a reminder of what is important and that there is always time to talk to those close to you, however busy you think you are.Book Review: A dark ride
Summary: 5 Stars
At first glance I thought this was just another "quick-fix" book offering [bad] platitudes about the quest to reveal the mythical father-figure. I started to leaf through it and three days later I'm still excited and troubled by what "Questions" has revealed to me.
The questions are, quite simply, stunning in their originality and form. There's stuff here I wouldn't have thought of asking in a million years.
And then there's the narrative that is sprinkled throughout the text; a dark and troubled trans-America motorcycle trip during which the author has an eerie insight into the importance that his father has played in his life. Too late, of course. Staniforth returns to England just in time to watch his Dad die, and so begins the internal intellectual voyage of discovery about his father.
Read it, use it, buy it for a father or a child. This book can save families.

A wonderful book to learn more about your father and yourself.It's also a fantastic conversation maker. Don't miss out on
this jewel of a book.
Book Review: Asking both hard and easy questions
Summary: 5 Stars
This book asks both hard and easy questions. It gives the reader a chance to get to know the man with the utmost depth. Some of the questions are a little deep, but I encourage the reader to ask them all. Some of the questions may be superficial, but you might get some surprising answers. Good book. Great starting point for getting to know the man behind your dad.Book Review: Carthartic Self Discovery
Summary: 5 Stars
Great book for learning about yourself and passing along your feelings, foibles and future wishes to your children. Works well for those that had a great relationship with their own father and want to continue the tradition; works even better for those who weren't close to their own father and want to make the most out of that special relationship with their own children.
