Professional Review:
Finally—A Pregnancy Book That Won't Put Men to Sleep
My Boys Can Swim! tells real men everything they really want to know about pregnancy, such as: How much is it going to cost? Why does your wife primp before seeing her doctor when she hasn't put a stitch of make-up on for you in months? And, most important, what's it going to do to your sex life?
This rollicking, laugh-out-loud book is for expectant dads in search of bottom-line pregnancy information, without all that boring touchy-feely stuff you find in those books written for women. Inside you'll discover helpful—and hilarious—information and insights on such topics as:
The Maternity Wardrobe: "A key part of the maternity wardrobe is maternity underwear—parachute-like undies big enough to fit an NFL defensive lineman."
Baby Names: "Don't give your kids mockable names like Thaddeus, which is Greek for 'I'm a dork and should be beaten up.'"
The Birth: "No one told me it's normal that babies' heads can be misshapen at birth. I was convinced that my wife gave birth to Veldar, the conehead."

   Summary: You rock Ian !! (my husband's words)
Ian Davis is fantastic! This is the most hilarious pregnancy guide for men (and believe me- my husband has a few of them)- I bought it for him because I thought 'we're on our third-don't want him to adopt the been there, done that attitude' especially as he's one of those very involved men and takes it all so seriously. What a fresh take!! He loves it- we've even purchased them for friends who are expecting as well.
Thanks Ian, it's a great book!!!

   Summary: The Author is not as funny as he thinks he is
I read it in about 2 hours. There is no real clinical information here. It is more of an autobiographical account of this guy having a kid. You can ask any of your friends about their pregnancy and get more insight.

 Rating 2   Written on April 15, 2008
   Summary: Dumb down version
If you don't want to understand much about the pregnency, then this is a great book for your. It has very little detail and talks in very very general terms about things. If you like information i would strongly recommend another book that has much more detail.

I was very disapponted and returned it after 1 hour of reading the book.

   Summary: Husband LOVED it!
My husband absolutely loved it! I dunno why exactly, it was kinda short, and I didn't laugh anywhere NEAR as hard as he did, but he loved it. It explains things in a man's perspective I guess. Certain guys will love it, others not so much. My hubby is a bit rough around the edges, so if you have one of those I think he'll like it.

   Summary: Don't waste your money!
This book is a waste of money! No useful information at all. This book is definitely less than I expected.
