I found this to be a sweet and moving memoir, though I did enjoy Mr. Backman's other works more (Beartown, Us Against You). This was a fast, easy read and certainly relatable, being in the throes of new parenthood myself. I found parts of it to be a little boring, some of the little aside stories he would tell. But overall, fairly enjoyable and certainly the love for his family shone through.

Backman delivers his signature humor-poignant mixture in an effective memoir-style collection of essays to his son. It's everything you expect from Backman with fun anecdotes that help demystify one of the greatest writers of our time. While it's best for parents or parents-to-be, everyone has a little something to gain from this exploration into the parental psyche. Along the way, you might just catch a glimpse of the inner workings of humanity.

What a fun and whimsical book about advice in the form of letters to his then infant son. Fun easy little stories about life. Quirky. I love these short books from Backman
