Reviews

[Ivan Stefanovski · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting, easy and practical read :)

[Stephen Theaker · Rating 1 out of 5]

With apologies to the author, this is a load of rubbish, a random grab-bag of unfunny jokes and useless advice (e.g. how to make a snowman - roll some snow into a ball) wrapped up in a shiny cover to make it look like a quality present - and it isn't.

It did make me laugh once. One page (quite reasonably) dismisses the idea that twins have a psychic link, saying that there is no evidence for it. And then the very next page? Get to know your children better: understand their star sign...

[Evan Micheals · Rating 1 out of 5]

Suitably aimed to be a never read novelty present to new Dad's. I actually read it, shamelessly advice for British Dads, could have expanded the market with more international advice. Not even engaging enough to be brain chewing gum and more shallow than a urine puddle. Can I have the three hours I spent reading this back?

[Shelle Perry · Rating 5 out of 5]

A book of dad advice that doesn't take itself too seriously. It is the perfect gift for a new dad or dad to be who probably needs a fun break from the serious literature and how-to books that accompanies most pregnancies these days.

[Miran · Rating 2 out of 5]

I really don't know how to rate this book. As I'm already a dad, most of these things sound stupid, but few things are worth remembering and few are funny.
It is more for first time dads and for just relaxing.:-)

The most clever thing about this book was it's marketing . . .

[Paul Steele · Rating 1 out of 5]

Pretty lame. Some bits of it were fun, but much of it was dated content and some of it was even wrong.

[Dexter]

i think this book is for more of a soon to be dad not a freshmen in english class

[Robert · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book was the literary equivalent of muzzak: bland, mostly inoffensive, but devoid of feeling, humour, or originality.

[Raving Redcoat · Rating 5 out of 5]

A combination of practical advice with the tongue-in-cheek humor that makes this series an absolute delight to read. A must-read for any father!
