Customer Reviews

Excellent collection of stories

I found some of the stories in this collection particularly poignant for my life. Sevarl of the stories "hit home" instantly, and others have become steadily more important to my life as my daughters are getting older. My oldest just turned 3, and the author's stories of his childrens' antics seem to parrallel events in our lives. This is a book I will, no doubt, return to periodically; reliving events in my life and the lives of my children.The author has a wry sense of humor and the book is permeated with his personality and wit. I certainly wouldn't recommend this book to someone looking for "dumb humor"; but if you are looking for an educated, humorous, and at times touching collection of stories about everday life occurances...buy this book.

Outstanding Book, talented writer like his father

Like Father Like Son, is a whitty and inspiring book that makes you want to laugh and cry even in the same paragraph. Well written book and has great potential to suceed like his father has in writing. Some times following in your father's footsteps isn't half bad!!!!!!!!
