 Assume you are an idiot, then build from there June 22, 2008

Wow, I just couldnt belive my eyes when I opened this book. Quote from first page (Second of the top ten things every father should do) "Dont deliberately try to screw up all of the jobs you are given to do, just so you wont be asked again. It might get you out of doing more work, but it might get you out of a relationship with your family." It just gets worse from there. The first chapter is a proposition on changing your whole life, considering that you have been nothing but a dirt bag husband from the start. The chapters after that have decently easy explations in the basics of raising a baby, but the content is probably easily found through a brief check on the internet or a call to a friend or family member who has had a child. Further, the information is so vague that the explanations lack any useful content or simple sketches that could help you understand. An example would be that the author bullet points lists of presumably important information and then expects you to do further footwork to learn on your own. Maybe, this book is useful to those who lack the skills necessary to actually read a book with content, but in that case those people probably wont read through a book in the first place. The M.D. who writes this book may have some extensive knowledge on being a pediatrician, but far lacks insight in how to construct, organize, and write a book as well as completely lacking the social skills necessary to deliver that information without offending the readers.
 Practical and easy to read! June 1, 2005

I purchased this book for my brother, who is about to become a new dad. This book was very easy to read with practical advice from both the pediatrician's standpoint, but more importantly, the advice of a father with real life circumstances and experiences. I highly recommend this book to all new fathers.
