Title: Let me save you $12.95
Review: This is NOT a "guide," as the back cover suggests. It's an English teacher's attempt at comedy writing...cornball comedy. As in, If you love the TV show "Yes, Dear," this might be for you. The basic message is that dealing with a pregnant wife sucks, raising a baby sucks, but fatherhood has some nice benefits. Thanks, Dr. Spock. Consider this passage from the end of the book: "And now that you've almost finished this tome, I'll let you in on a little secret...Nothing can really prepare you for being a father. I hope you're not disappointed, but I had to put this earth-shattering statement at the end of the last chapter, otherwise you might not have read the book." I wish I'd read this page first, so I could have missed out on some of the half-truths and misinformation the author buries between half-assed jokes.
