I loved this book! Finally, guys are getting their fair share of advice on child rearing; none too late and happily, before the next baby shower I have to attend. Definitely worth considering as a gift to the expectant father in the next cubicle at work.

I wouldn't recommend this book at all, since lots of the information contained is just to try to make you laugh. don't try to follow what the author says, because if you ask your doctor or read about those methods, they are actually not recommended at all

I bought this for my husband but it isn't that great. I guess it's better than nothing but not as humorous and not as useful as 'Be Prepared' for example. Some of the points were plain dumb or even offensive to me when browsing it as a new (hormonal?) mom, while I (and he) found the BP book much better all round. We gave this one away pretty early on.

These are the sorts of books where you really have to find one on your level, and this was really shoots way, way below my level. Beyond making antiquated and sexist assumptions about the relationships between husbands and wives, the book is light on practical advice and heavy on sports metaphors low-brow yuk-yuk humor. I'm going to spend some time thumbing through this book's competitors before I buy another "guide for dads."

I purchased 2 books from Thomas Hill , surprising but they are almost the same.. " What the heck u are expecting .." & "What to expect when..." just one of them is enough from Thomas... they are interesting , buy only the latests one.

This book is great. It really puts things in a new dad's perspective. The book is really funny and we all got a kick out of reading it.
