Summary: Not what we expected in the least.
Comment: This book was a complete joke to us. My husband probably wasn't the prime target audience for this
book - this book seems to be aiming at men who could care less about any aspect of the pregnancy and
just want to read something to make their wife happy. Since my husband actually CARES about the
pregnancy and wants to know what is going on, this was NOT the book for him.

This book
held basically NO real information at all other than the most basic observations (maternity clothes
cost a lot, you will be spending a lot of money, never tell your wife she looks fat, your wife may
be gassy, don't pick a name that causes teasing). Seriously? This is the OFFICAL guide? /rolleyes/
My digital camera manual is more in-depth.

Yes, I get that it's supposed to be humorous
- and I did laugh a few times. But it definitely wasn't worth the money. This book was an hour read
(at most) and I was left feeling completely ripped off at having spent $10 on it - maybe $3.95 in
the bargain bin. It should be called "A Guy's Humorous Pocket Guide to Pregnancy" - I didn't pay
attention to the pages or the size (this thing is TINY - it could almost fit in my back
pocket!).

This will be the last time I buy a book just by seeing the number of stars
and without reading more of the reviews.

Summary: My husband loves! We now give to all our expectant father friends!
Comment: I picked up several books for my husband when we were expecting.. and this was the only one he read
cover-to-cover (helps that it's super short).. and he loved it. Whenever he hears a friend is
expecting he mentions this book to the 'dad-to-be'... we're handing these out to expectant dads this
father's day.

Customer Rating:

Summary: for the reluctant father!
Comment: a fantastic book to introduce reluctant fathers to the world of parenthood. If you can't get him to
a doctors appt or reading "what to expect when youre expecting" this is the book for you.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Not worth your money or time spent reading it
Comment: I bought this book for my husband thinking it would be a cute, funny read for him. It is funny in
the beginning but overall ends up sounding sour and rude. The author doesn't seem to be very
sensitive toward his own wife or the whole pregnancy experience. I think he tries too hard to be
funny and comes off sounding like a jerk who doesn't really care. I have a very high tolerance for
stupid humor but this book crosses the line. Save your money and buy something cute for your
husband.

Summary: You rock Ian !! (my husband's words)
Comment: Ian Davis is fantastic! This is the most hilarious pregnancy guide for men (and believe me- my
husband has a few of them)- I bought it for him because I thought 'we're on our third-don't want him
to adopt the been there, done that attitude' especially as he's one of those very involved men and
takes it all so seriously. What a fresh take!! He loves it- we've even purchased them for friends
who are expecting as well.
Thanks Ian, it's a great book!!!
