Halpern's father doesn't play as prominent of a role in this book as his last one, but it is still a pretty good read. The stories are quick and neatly packaged and there is enough humor to keep from being dull. Not something I am raving about and recommending to everyone, but entertaining.

I didn't find this one as touching as Shit my Dad Says but I really like the style of these. Funny, fun reads with an appealing honesty running underneath all the banter and humor.

A easy-read coming of age story made humorous mostly by sh*t his dad says

I read this book after I realized it was based off the TV show Surviving Jack, which we thought was hysterical. The language is quite coarse, and the subject material was edited quite a bit for prime time tv. The book tells the story of all the author's experiences with women as he contemplates proposing to his girlfriend. The show was more enjoyable for me than the book.

4.5 stars: 4 stars for the book, and an extra half star for the incredible voice talent of Sean Schemmel. I read Justin's first title, though after listening to this one, I am certain I missed out by not hearing Schemmel narrate it. His voices are so different (and he nails the dad voice!), if I didn't know better I would guess they were multiple voice actors. Supremely well done!
Now then, the book. Halpern is funny, and writes in an approachable, laugh-out-loud sort of way. My favorite parts were any time his dad was present, though the rest is good too. I didn't care for some of the analogies, but they weren't anything that ruined the story for me.
I watched the first (and only??) season of Surviving Jack, which is based on this book, and me and my sons loved it. It's honest and funny with a dash of sweet, just like the book.

I never read Mr. Halpern's Sh*t MY Dad Says. After reading this book, I am going to check it out. I was laughing my head off at this book. I barely picked it up to start reading and already I found hilarous lines by Justin's father. I was reading them to my husband. It took like forever to get to page six because I would stop and read a line or a conversation that Justin had with his father.
The things that would come out of Justin's father's mouth, had me wanting to crack a beer or two with him and bring up random topics to get his opipions. He gave you the uncensored life lessons. I feared that things would not be as funny when Justin grew up and went away to college but never fear as the laughes still kept coming. Justin's experiences with the opposite sex was sad. I felt for him. I am surprised that he did not get chewed up and spit out. Luckily for him, he found his perfect match with his wife, Amanda. From what I did get to learn about her in this book, she sounds nice.
One final word of advise. So remember when your mother tells you to call every few weeks and you respond that you don't know if you will always be around a phone. you're not leading a fucking expedition to Antarctica. Find a phone and call your parents. (Courtesy of Justin's fatehr). This was one of the funniest autobiographies that I have read. You need to pick up a copy of this book. You will not regret it.
