Dads vs. The World
If you're not him, you know him.
He's challenged the grocery store. He's confronted the HOA. He's even taken on Santa himself. He doesn't usually win. These are the tales of the Dumb White Husband and they are all available here in this collected edition.
This handsome volume includes:
Dumb White Husband vs. the Grocery Store - John would rather sit and watch the game, but his wife needs some things at the store. Can he complete the list and get back in time to see the end of the game?
Dumb White Husband vs. Halloween - Every Halloween, Chris has the scariest house on the block and gives out the best candy. But, this year, someone is showing him up and he'll stop at nothing to find out who.
Dumb White Husband vs. Santa - Erik has planned the perfect Christmas for his family. The plan is foolproof, bulletproof and flame retardant. Nothing can undo the hours of planning and preparation. Nothing except maybe odd-shaped packages, ill-timed fruitcakes or an errant neighborhood Santa Claus.
Dumb White Husband vs. the Tooth Fairy - Erik always has a plan and he's sure he would have figured out the whole Tooth Fairy thing eventually. But, when his three-year-old son takes a frisbee to the mouth, he's forced to speed things up. Between neighborhood kids with big mouths and unhelpful dentists he's going to need to improvise. Will he bend to the pressure of inflation? Will he get caught in the act? And, what do you do with those teeth anyway?
Dumb White Husband for President (A novella) - There comes a time in every man's life when he must stand for the things he believes in. John doesn't believe in bagging his grass. So, when a new allergy-prone neighbor gets the HOA to require it, there's only one thing he can do - run for President of The Creeks of Sage Valley Phase II.
John, Chris and Erik put aside most of their differences to run a campaign that they hope will see John elected as President and end the meddling of the rule-loving new kid on the block. Will they succeed? It's doubtful.
Note: Previously released as Dumb White Husband for President & Other Stories.

A bunch of white dads do daily tasks for 4 short stories, and fail miserably, ending in success. Then, one tries to run for HOA president in a short novella. They curse, they hate people, and they hurt themselves only a little. What’s not to love?
The short stories and novella were all fun reads from start to finish. I recommend this book!

Another fun book from Benjamin Wallace
After reading the apocalypse books thought I'd give this series a go, it is brilliant and funny the characters are very relatable. Quite often I would laugh to myself thinking I do that 😂

Excellent!
Not a sequel of Dads vs Zombies, but a collection of of novels, a kind of prequel (without the zombies). Really funny. Loved it!

An hilarious slice of life
The everyday man has a lot to put up with and this book is dedicated to that man that we all have within us. Although this is based in USA we can see the situations we have and like a good comedian we all laugh aloud at the foibles of life and how even simple everyday things seem to bring out Murphy's law and q the National Lampoons scenarios. Warning this book may cause periods of hilarity, sore jaws, stomach and strange looks from the general public who have missed out on the jokes.

Super lame. At least it was only $0.99.

Ben Wallace gives a great narrative to the life of suburban males as only he can. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Snap to reality
Enjoyed it, could definitely relate to most of the CRAP . Writer evidently has experienced a lot of the CRAP of which he speaks. Fun read.
