1.0 out of 5 stars One of the worst books I've ever read, August 3, 2009

This review is from: The Divorcing Father's Manual: 8 Steps to Help You and Your Child Survive and Thrive (Hardcover)

This is one of the worst books I have ever read on any subject. It's good for an occasional laugh because it's so poorly written, not because the grammar or sentence structure is poor, but because from a substantive perspective it's just crap. Save your money. Look for guidance elsewhere.
