I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy this book. I found the book very entertaining. I agree with other reviews that men need to be careful in letting their wives read it too. It's very irreverent towards pregnancy. I am unable to give it a full 5 stars because I was hoping for a book that was more educational. This is not the book to read if your looking for sincere knowledge. This is 100% for entertainment.

Even I thought this was funny and I am the pregnant wife... though pregnant women may want to wait to read this til AFTER they have been through pregnancy... otherwise you may have to hurt your husband:)

My wife and I are about to have our first kid, and we've done our fair share of research, but this book is definatly the one worth reading out of all of them. It really has two things going for it, humor and information.

The read is easy. It's almost flows as easily and humorously as the sunday comics page. Now, I know I definitely have the easy part of pregnancy being a man and all, but it is still pretty rough on both of us. This book brought that perspective to light for my wife and made it easier to convince me to do things for her.

Overall, I cannot recommend this book enough to expecting parents of both genders. But if you already know everything and have no sense of humor, you may not get anything out of it.

Your wife is pregnant. Congratulations! Now it's time to buy this book, because life as you knew it is going to change--big time.

The Dudes' Guide to Pregnancy, in spite of the very long title, is aptly named, because a woman does go through major changes, physically and mentally, with the news of an upcoming baby. The Dudes' Guide to Pregnancy will take you, a dude, though the entire pregnancy (and if you are one of the ones who are planning to get your wife or significant other pregnant, then the authors will talk you through that part too). And then they'll tell you about the ways your life will change after the baby is born.

The Dudes' Guide to Pregnancy promised to be funny reading, which is why I requested to review it. It didn't disappoint. However, there is a warning toward the beginning of the book that this book is not written for females, and under no circumstances let a woman read it...there is good reason for this. The language used is very graphic, and they use straight guy-talk, with no beating around the bush.

Over all, the book is pretty accurate about what a pregnancy might be like. I found some of the situations a bit (okay, a lot) overdone, but they were funny to read. They also include sections about myth/fact where they can dispel myths--or not--with humor.

I enjoyed reading The Dudes' Guide to Pregnancy, even though I'm not a dude and I am a female, and can see where it would be helpful for male reading when they get the news "We're having a baby!"

Armchair Interviews says: Guidebook for guys...

The first thing which must be said is this book is only for guys. This book is off-limits to opposite gender.

Yes, this book is crude, irreverent, unapologetic, and full of testosterone (also known as guy humor.) There's also swearing in the book <shh>. There are also three sketches of possible sex positions (WOO-HOO) of a dude with a hairy chest and a huge bushy mustache. The censored blocks are in place to prevent any dude from seeing any line art erotica. If you are offended by this you are most likely NOT A DUDE! (Refer to the first paragraph.)

This book is blatantly honest with a heaping helping of sarcasm mixed in.

The "Dudes" discuss every aspect any soon-to-be dad would be interested to know (or at least be comforted to realize they're not the only ones going through this.)

I'm looking forward to any sequels such as: Dude's guide to vasectomy, toddlers, teenagers, etc...

This book is a must have for any man who is expecting their first child. I literally laughed out loud while reading it.

Any GUY looking to know the truth about what to expect should read this. Very true and not sugarcoated.

I too ordered this book for my husband and we both ended up reading it. It was hilarious, I laughed out loud many, many times. My husband enjoyed it as well. The thing is you need to be open minded and have a little since of humor. Yes, it might be offending to some people but I loved it so much that when my girlfriends get pregnant I am ordering them this book and the girlfriends guide to pregnancy, one for each parents. I have recommended it and I will continue to. Because even though brutally honest - it's funny and well, honest. In fact I enjoyed reading these two books more then what to expect when expecting.

It was hilarious a great read you should just buy it. not a ton of facts but you will get enough of that on your own and it all you want is facts not any humor just hit google.

The bottom line is this, without the book, I would have been up that creek with no paddle. I learned more in three seconds of reading then I did in high school.
