amtours 's review for:
I'm really enjoying this book and forcing myself to draw it out (2-3 essays per sitting, generally). In contrast to Chabon's fiction (the first book I read by him was Kavalier...) this book is NOT predictable. It's human. There's no Jewish superstar in the wings, no mythical heroes, just his very human experience of being a father.
Being someone who is neither a father nor a mother, for that matter, I'm find myself identifying with Chabon's ineptitude and his triumphs... his memories, even though he's a spot older than me (maybe 5 years or so), ring true to my own childhood.
If you've read Chabon before and were turned off, give this book a read. If you're a fan of Chabon, give this book a read. If you're a parent, check this book out.
