Sh*t My Dad Says by Justin Halpern

This book was just a quick, fun, easy read. I laughed a lot because so much of what Dr. Halpern says reminds me of a few things my own father might've said, though mine was less brash and never, ever cursed. The heart of the messages in Dr. Halpern's comments were similar to that of my own father, and perhaps that's why I grew somewhat sentimental over what loving parents do and say to their children.

I feel like I learned a little more reading these pages, and I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys laughing and thinks parents are sometimes funny creatures.

Fantastic! Justin's father's bluntness is hilarious, but also something I respect.

This has got to be one of the funniest books I have read! Too bad it is so short.

Funny, but usually not laugh-out-loud funny. Not surprisingly, it reads like a series of blog posts interspersed with collections of tweets. Best read in small bits in several settings, like you're reading the internet.

The TV show was *awful*, but this book is very, very good. Surprisingly heartwarming, this is a book written about a father who loves his son, and does his very best to impart wisdom and life lessons to him — as recalled and told by the son. Yes, there is a lot of bad language (that's how his dad talks), but if you can get past that, it's a really excellent read.

The twitter feed was funny but seemed a little mean spirited. After my wife bought me this book for Father's Day, I realize there is a lot more to the relationship.

It is a very quick read, and I recommend it. The title should give away that the language is a bit salty.

Interesting, you get what you asked for: experiences the author had with his dad. Some very funny quotes, and a nice story to end the book with. I kind of expected a little bit more out of it, but it did what it promised.

A truly hiliarious and lighthearted read. I can't decide whether I'm disappointed or grateful I didn't have a father like this.
