Eh. That's about all I can say about it. This book is a collection of essays by different writers/bloggers. A few were very good; thoughtful, touching, or downright hilarious. Most were flat, boring, or non-sensical.If you live the rest of your life without reading this book, you can die happy. You haven't missed anything. ( )

A great collection, though like Heather's other book, I felt the title didn't do the writing inside justice. ( )

Compiled by Heather B. Armstrong, award-winning publisher and uber-mistress of the phenomenally popular dooce.com®, this hilarious and heartwarming celebration of "everything dad" features original stories from some of the country's most celebrated bloggers, including Alice Bradley (Finslippy) Doug French (Laid Off Dad), Maggie Mason (Mighty Girl), Matthew Baldwin (Defective Yeti), Sarah Brown (Que Sera Sera), and more.

I didn't know what to expect when I bought this book. I hadn't previewed it and only knew it was "Heather's Book" and really? That's all I needed to know. I've read enough of her work via her website to figure that I would enjoy it if it was all written by her.

It turns out only one of the essays was hers, because this is a collection of essays (which it states in the subtitle, and I had not read it. I simply ordered it based on very sketchy high level information.) written by several different people. But the essays are all written by humorists with a writing style that in some way is similar to Heather's. Honest. Heartfelt.

And I've read several of them before through their blogs and in several cases, I subscribe to them because I enjoy their writing style, too.

I enjoyed the book. It treats the subject of fathers with humor, honesty and love. And how else should we look at our dads?

I give the book four stars and recommend it to others. ( )
