To laugh at himself and have Dexter mock him the way he did, shows this writer is a very down-to-earth person, only out to share a special little message. Men do have feelings and I guess this is what this book is really about.įor an author to write himself into a chapter of a book was very refreshing and funny too. What comes out of this book, is an eye opener, where it's easy to mention how very painful and hard pregnancy is for a woman, then how totally dick a man can be during it.
Never through my two pregnancies did I consider my partners feelings like this and when I asked him, I couldn't believe he actually admitted he felt the same way too. What saved the book for me, was the touching message at the end - The part about a mans fear. I'm not sure why a visit to a football match came into it, or whether or not a famous celebrity was needed to be written into the story, but let's just say it didn't ruin the thing completely. I don't know why I was surprised about this, considering the book is actually about two very different men and the way they act around others. The book was clever in the way sexist Dexter mocked everything about pregnancy, then was completely and utterly unsupportive of Marsha, yet Malcolm was the opposite. Nothing really different from the first one, except it gave a mans point of view through the journey of pregnancy. Again, it's a witty book of one liners, rude jokes and sex. Because this one featured pregnancy, and I've had two children myself, I thought I would try it. My only hope is that he writes a third one.Īfter reading the first Tudeski book in this series, I was left unsure whether or not I would enjoy another one.
I have never read a comedy like it and I'm sure it's going to bring this author great success. This book is very funny, charming and clever. Yes, Jimmy had to write joke after sexist joke to portray Dexter's unsupportive and witty character, but that message is clear if you look for it. It basically shows a man admitting women DO have it tougher through pregnancy, yet him asking for a little understanding too. I actually found myself double looking at quite a few of them ) The overall message of the book is hiding deep within the last few chapters and if I'm honest, could have been a little clearer. This book is not only funny, but it has some art work inside that will surprise readers too. I thought it was very brave to touch on a subject that causes so many fights between men and woman, but I personally think Jimmy nailed it. Yes Dexter continued with his famous MF outbursts, Candy still Duh'd quite a bit, but the book did feel refreshingly new. I'm not sure if I can say this, but to kill off a main character like Jimmy Tudeski did in the first book, I wasn't sure if this would live up to expectation or deliver the same jokes again. This is sure to be one I put on my "Read again" list.
