Quite funny; one gripe July 7, 2008 This was pretty darn funny. My only beef is that there were times when I wish he would be serious for just ONE moment, you know? (and in all fairness, there actually WERE a few, but they would last for one sentence or so. Reminded me of a guy I went to college with who was literally NEVER serious; people like that are hiding from something. Now, I know Nealon is a COMEDIAN, so my beef is sort of dumb). Overall, it was really funny.
yes your pregnant but what about me July 4, 2008 I would recommend this book to anyone who has or will be having children! It really does give you heads up on what is important to you before and after children come into our lifes. This book will have you laughing out loud til your in tears. It reminds you as a parent how children are the most important part of our lives and they should not be taken advantage of. All they want is you in there life til they reach that age where there friends kick in and you wonder where it all went. You get to live again through their eye just for alittle while. Keep them close and you will miss out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GET THIS BOOK
More about Nealon than the baby June 29, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
(from the review at gametheorist.blogspot.com) I used to watch Nealon on Saturday Night Live and I think he occasionally pops up in movies. But I chose this book primarily because I was sitting at the next table to him in an LA airport lounge last year and he looked pretty much like the picture on the front of his book. Interestingly, he had bought a Sony eBook reader just as the Kindle had come out and I was puzzled about this. Maybe it was for the flight only to discover he was going to need a computer to get at those books.
His book is about his experience in pregnancy -- not his really but his wife's. He is 53 and so is older than the average parent and also, his celebrity lifestyle defined much of what he was going through. There was lots of angst about having children and feelings about life in general which gave him an excuse to recount previous non-parenting incidents with random abandon. It had its moments but there was not alot that I found easy to relate to. Nonetheless, I suspect that if you are pregnant (or close to one who is) this would be a good read.
A good funny book June 13, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Kevin Nealon wrote a very good very funny book for 1st time expecting dads. I highly recomend this book for all dads, wether you are expecting your first child this book will keep you laughing (and scared) while actually giving decent tips on what to do or how to handle a pregnant wife, If you already have kids this book will bring back some memories for sure, both good and bad, with a few " I wish I'd thought of that " moments thrown in. By the way, my pregnant wife loved the book too.
Kevin Nealon at his best June 13, 2008 I knew when I purchased this book it would be a roller coaster of sorts for me as I'm a father of two and went through many of the feelings and emotions that Kevin wrote about in this book... I highly recommend this book for people with a twisted and comic view of life !!
