Don't get this book expecting to find the same comedy as "Pumping Irony" or "Bald As I Wanna Be". This is a very serious book about the author and his wife's struggle with infertility. That said, it's an interesting a touching read, and I recommend trying to run down a copy.

And then read his other books to hear him complain about his kids (whew, he made it).

The best thing about this book, to me, was how open Kornheiser is about his own flaws, as he understands them. His behavior is frequently terrible as he and his wife endure infertility and endeavor to make an agonizing choice. Profoundly human.

Very interesting story of Tony and Karril's trials and tribulations trying to adopt a child. At times very funny and many times tear inducing, I found myself rooting for the couple.

Read this maybe 3 or 4 years ago and it is a great book. It is at times a humorous look at one couples struggles to have a child. To be honest, I only read it because Tony Kornheiser wrote it and even with the topic, I enjoyed it.
