Book Reviews of So You're Going to Be a Dad
Book Review: A total waste of time.
Summary: 1 Stars
This book was given to me as a gift, and I was anxious to read about many things that I didn't know about. Maybe some tips on how to be a good husband; maybe some ideas about how to plan for a child; maybe some good stories about other soon-to-be-dads helping out their pregnant wives. I got none of this. I read the story about a man who seems to be put out at the fact that he has 4 children. I feel as though the author thinks he is making headlines when he tells you that binge drinking until 2am isn't going to happen for you any more. I felt as though the whole book was telling me, "My God, what have you done...Your life is over." Well, I can say that a month after bringing my wonderful son home, the journey has just started and its been the best month of my life. If you've already read this book, don't let this jerk fool you. If you haven't read this book, DON'T. There is nothing that is of use, and it will only try to discourage you.
