Great read

This book is very funny but it also covers real topics. I have been blessed with a husband that fell so naturally into "Mack Daddy" Fatherhood that I am going to pass this book on to others. This book is a good purchase for those who are not falling into fatherhood so gracefully.

This book is truth!

I became a dad a few months ago. Along with all the bibs, bottles, pj's and other baby stuff, a friend gave me this book. I'd already thrown two other how-to dad gift books away (after glancing at the dorky covers -what crap!)but this one looked fun. It's damn funny and gives really practical advice. If you're a gas-brained space shot who lets your wife raise the kids and run your life-- you'll hate it. If you want your kid to kick the world into another galaxy - this book's for you. Best of all, this author flips a screeching bird to all the politically correct wonks who are clueless and raising sub-wonks who will one day wash my kid's car.

Dads have their scribe!

You're going to start laughing as soon as you pick up "Mack Daddy." But you may be half-way through before you realize just how insightful and wise the author really is. Sure, it's funny. But it also contains some of the most important advice a man could ever receive: not about how to climb the corporate ladder or improve a golf score, but how to be a better father. What's more important than that? Anybody who knows an underappreciated dad should make his day by having him read this.

Like talking to a friend

The last time my husband read a book was high school. So when we were in the book store and he couldn't put this book down and kept reading me passages from it, I said, let's just buy it. He read the whole book in 2 days and was laughing out loud at parts. The author writes like he's your buddy. We both enjoyed this book and actually learned some things too. It was a great addition to all of the pregnancy books we read. I highly recommend it for all the Mack Daddy's out there that are going to be dads soon.

hysterical and smart

I bought this book for my husband (we're expecting our first child next month), thinking maybe at best, he'd glance at it (like he's done in the past with all those parenting books--What to Expect, etc.) But he couldn't put it down! He read it over the weekend and was laughing so hard, I had to see what was so funny. So I read it too. It is hilarous and informative. It offers smart, edgy advice to dads and moms--expecting and already with kids. The author understands fatherhood as well as the joys and the insanity that go along with it.
