review 1: Il libro è un diario che il protagonista scrive, con tanto di date e ore...a tratti i suoi racconti sono risultati veramente noiosi...In più da donna, mi ha letteralmente dato fastidio il protagonista... infantile, maschilista, idiota...vuole essere un buon marito e un bravo padre, ma sa solo bere, fumare e pensare constantemente al sesso!Man mano che leggevo pensavo che se gli uomini la pensano veramente così c'è da ucciderli tutti -.-''
review 2: Why did I read this? There were some funny parts, but it was generally a waste of time. The main problem:Major lack of characterization. Here's what we know about the main character, Harry:He's a History teacher, but for unfathomable reasons (he doesn't seem particularly interested in History or educating youth).
... more He's not particularly interested in sports. He's not particularly interested in anything other than drinking and sex, either. (Not that there's anything wrong with liking those things, but have some other interests for crying out loud!) He wants to "be a good husband and father" but we get absolutely no clue as to why he fell in love with Emily in the first place. All we know about her is even less--she's fit and wants to be a mom. Of course, most of the book involves Harry trying to avoid the temptation of cheating on his wife with an ex (who does not deviate from the sexually-unsatisfied-housewife stereotype).If someone like Harry is what a woman these days can expect from a husband, please, someone, tell me where The Other Team does their batting practice.Harry and Emily were both so stereotypical, flat, and boring I found myself rooting for them as a couple because I cringed at the idea of either of them being thrust upon someone who actually has a personality.The characters over 60 were the only ones worth reading about: Granddad, Mrs. Crowley, and the Headmistress.They're not in it enough, and it's not worth buying or borrowing this book just to wade through page after page of stereotypes just for a couple of laughs. less

Non mi ha suscitato nemmeno l'interesse minimo per finirlo. Abbandonato.
