Full of toxic masculinity and misogyny. Not even remotely funny.

After finishing the trilogy of Pocket's explorations, and enjoying Lamb, I decided to dive into this piece. Absolutely hilarious, the nervousness of the main character in his new found role in life, and the comedy from his daughter. The voices are read wonderfully by Fisher Stevens. Would like to thank my local public library for bringing the works of Mr. Moore to my attention. Highly Recommend!

Had to read it for book club. Thought I would still finish, but after discussion, decided it wasn't worth it when I had books I was looking forward to

If I never hear the phrase "beta male" ever again, it'd be too soon. Plot wise, it feels like it took literally forever for anything to develop which is unfortunate because the premise was promising.

There were plenty of laughs and some eye-rolling. At times the jokes/humor were at the expense of stereotypes and personally, it left me feeling uncomfortable. An example are the references to one of the Chinese elderly neighbors and disappearing animals making their way into her kitchen pot. Other times, the humor I think would best be appreciated by 13yo boys or among guys.
Half way through the book, the story started to drag and soon I lost interest. I set the book aside for several days before returning to it again. It didn't make a difference. The jokes were just as lame and the snail pace of the storytelling sapped the joy out of me. But wanting to find out how things would end, I plowed through it.
