The Dad's Book: For The Dad Who's Best At Everything Reviews


  • Stephen Theaker

    With apologies to the author, this is a load of rubbish, a random grab-bag of unfunny jokes and useless advice (e.g. how to make a snowman - roll some snow into a ball) wrapped up in a shiny cover to make it look like a quality present - and it isn't.

    It did make me laugh once. One page (quite reasonably) dismisses the idea that twins have a psychic link, saying that there is no evidence for it. And then the very next page? Get to know your children better: understand their star sign...

  • Evan Micheals

    Suitably aimed to be a never read novelty present to new Dad's. I actually read it, shamelessly advice for British Dads, could have expanded the market with more international advice. Not even engaging enough to be brain chewing gum and more shallow than a urine puddle. Can I have the three hours I spent reading this back?

  • Shelle Perry

    A book of dad advice that doesn't take itself too seriously. It is the perfect gift for a new dad or dad to be who probably needs a fun break from the serious literature and how-to books that accompanies most pregnancies these days.

  • Miran

    I really don't know how to rate this book. As I'm already a dad, most of these things sound stupid, but few things are worth remembering and few are funny.
    It is more for first time dads and for just relaxing.:-)

  • Adán Virrey

    Lo leí en español, pero no encontré la versión en goodreads esta muy bueno.

    The most clever thing about this book was it's marketing . . .

  • Paul Steele

    Pretty lame. Some bits of it were fun, but much of it was dated content and some of it was even wrong.

  • Robert

    This book was the literary equivalent of muzzak: bland, mostly inoffensive, but devoid of feeling, humour, or originality.

  • Raving Redcoat

    A combination of practical advice with the tongue-in-cheek humor that makes this series an absolute delight to read. A must-read for any father!
