Summary: Great starter book, humorous and funny
Comment: this was the first book I recieved as a gift when we found out that my wife was pregnant. the book looks at fatherhood in a great way, not to scare you but to start the guide. It prepped me for the more serious books that are out there on parenting, but to start sometimes you need a laugh to get going. I found it to be a easily read book with things that you always thought about but were afraid to ask. I would reccommend this as the first of many books to start

Summary: If you know nothing about babies - this book's for you!
Comment: A mate gave me Peter Downey's book after my wife and I found out we were pregnant, we were in a restaurant and (much to the consternation of those around the table) I started reading a bit of it. Talk about laugh! For the next few minutes I kept interrupting the conversation by reading a few lines from the book. Mercifully, all the other people found Downey's humor pleasing.
As I got into the rest of the book, I found that as a bloke who knew virtually nothing about babies I understood what was going on. The book is written for the average bloke, who has a fairly dry sense of humor. It does not put off prospective fathers with a whole lot of technical jargon that no-one outside the medical field understands. It just tells it like it is. And yes, Peter Downey - those nappies that start when the teeth break through the gums are quite simply, unbelievable.
If you are going to be a dad, but are a bit nervous about what lies ahead, get this book and read it. When you've finished, you'll know a little more than you did when you started, although in reality, nothing prepares you for what you are about to see (provided you are conscious for the birth), or experience as your baby becomes an infant; your infant a toddler and so on. And on the way, you'll have a dammned good laugh, even moreso when you read it again when your baby is three and you are reminded of all those wonderful (smelly, putrid, nay, rancid) things you have seen and done in the last few years.
I would recommend this book to anyone out there who wants to read of a typical bloke's experience of impending fatherhood - and who doesn't mind a good laugh along the way.

Summary: Juvenile
Comment: I found this book neither helpful nor humorous. It crams three pages of useful information into 190+ pages. The humor is childish and the advice is useless. It reminds me of a bad teen exploitation movie or a poorly written National Lampoon piece.
At least, I didn't buy it, but got it as a gift. Unfortunately, my wife was the one who gave it to me, so there goes money that could have been better spent on diapers or something useful.
