Great book. Helpful to read as a dad after a few months of baby-raising.

The main character/narrator was a rather annoying/pretentious/hipster type. Sometimes I just wanted to shake some sense into him. On the whole, however, I enjoyed reading about his adventures caring for his new baby - though he could be *so* oblivious. Describing a baby as a 'handbag' that they 'spilled olive oil on' at a fancy restaurant because they forgot she was there? Please.

It was so great to read a book about parenthood from a father's perspective! This book chronicles the author's adventures as (essentially) a stay-at-home-dad while his wife completed her PhD. His writing style is frank and funny, but he doesn't hit you over the head with it - he has a light touch.

Do read this if you're interested in hearing what a smart, sensitive, literate guy has to say about being a new parent.
