Review: A post-stick-test guide to pregnancy as only JD Mader could write it
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 03 23, 2013
JD Mader shoots and scores with this raw, honest, and hysterically funny book of essays designed to prepare expectant fathers for not only the nine months of pregnancy but for the humbling occupation of fatherhood. Now, I am not nor have I ever been pregnant, nor have I been a father, but those who reproduce would be well served to take Mader's experience and advice to heart. Some of these essays, written while his wife was pregnant with their first child, even made me tear up a bit.Warnings: Do not read this book while ingesting liquids. They will end up on the screen of your e-reading-type device. If you wither at language frowned upon in some places, like, say, at tea with the Queen Mum, beware. There's a lot of it. Some involves banana slugs. I can only assume that no banana slugs were harmed in the writing or editing of this book.
