Disclaimer: do not read this book in public places, else people will be staring at you with their judgy eyes as you will be laughing out loud. Or on the second thought; it's all worth it. This book is downright hilarious with some crazy and real insights on the challanges and "fun" of being a parent.
It's got Football, The Undertaker, Zlatan and Samwise Gamgee in it as a teaching lesson. He really is a master of pop culture references and it's refreshing. I really didn't want this book to end alas, all good things do. If you really want to enjoy a light-hearted, funny yet enlightening book, give this one a chance you will fall in love with it. Can't wait to meet the writer.

I was called away for an emergency and the book was due back to the library.

It was a quick cute read. I think if I had children I would relate more to this book. I felt like I was inside Backman's head with all his thoughts that he didn't want to forget to tell his son someday which is adorable and the way he writes I just find so enjoyable and relatable.

This book is hilarious! Especially if you don't have kids and enjoy the suffering of your friends with kids. I'm a guy, so when chapter one started with a discussion about poop, I was hooked! Lol
But in all seriousness, the book smartly combines humor, with life lessons that any person would want to pass on to their children. It tugs at the heart strings in all the right ways.
