review 1: A pretty good collection of essays, although, unfortunately, several of them sounded rather bloggy. (Nothing against blogs, but when I pick up a book I'd like to read a book, not a blog.) There were a few essays that had a very disjointed feel to them, and a few others with a very self-important tone to them. But others were good. By far my favorite is the peas essay :) I may go buy this book for myself just for that essay (I gave the copy I read to my dad for Father's Day). It was humorous, and hit on some great insights on parenting. Worth the book :)
review 2: Collection of essays edited by Dooce author, Heather Armstrong. Much on fatherhood, parenting and being the child of a remarkable, good and bad father. Many were funny, some were poignant and a ... morefew were a little confusing. Sometimes blog writers don't translate to essay writers because there is such continuity with the readers who know and love you, versus the readers who just pull a book off a shelf at the library. Overall some interesting ideas on parenting and fatherhood and worth the read. less
