Reviews

[Lior Alexandre · Rating 3 out of 5]

Too much of it was quite obvious. The style was also a bit too laddish.

[Doug Roehler]

rating: TBD.

[Martin · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book really isn't very helpful. The sort of advice you get at your local pub.

[Vijay · Rating 3 out of 5]

Was good to get excited about being a dad. Easy read. Later realized there were much better books that condensed the core info which was better for me.

[Ryan Gibson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Why are all books written for expectant/new dad's so patronising? Some useful info here if you can get past the laddish "banter".

[James Dewes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Useful information with a dash of humour for good measure.

[Martyn Perry · Rating 4 out of 5]

Both insightful and funny. Recommended!
