   I have this book from a neighbor yesterday (he insisted) and read most today. Okay – not great, not horrible, with some sentimental nuggets here and there – but what is so annoying is how Armstrong is shameless in promoting itself (both its website and this book dull). During the last week in his blog, which my neighbor is like the Bible, has brought more than ads newspaper articles and television interviews about her, complete with dates and times for all of America can tune in inches and this book is just another example of that. Hello – she did not write 95% of this book – a collection of essays edited others wrote. For everyone calls him “your book and join in the frenzy Dooce running his bookstore is madness. Do you know how much work it takes to edit a bunch of 2-3 trials on a page? Not much. My nephew’s third-grade class made a similar collection last year, and it was like at the level of this book, sweet and harmless, but then he only 9 years old. Overall – a soft, mediocre book that is very overpriced, like everything else involving this strange woman really seems to have some personality problems narcisstic. Rating: 2 / 5

   For respondents who are destroying this book, please stop to consider that each of these essays was written by someone whose father was too stupid, careless or drunk to ensure effective use of birth control. That these people could move on to lead productive lives is a testament to the tenacity of the human spirit. Rating: 5 / 5

   I really like this compilation. I capitalize that because several other critics do not seem to realize that before reading the compilation. Of course it is uneven and that all different voices. That’s really what I like about her. I do not have much time to devote to reading so I like the idea of picking up a book and read a chapter and put it down. I lost my father a little over 4 years. We never had a better relationship now that I’ma mother and I have gained much insight into parenting. This book offers even more from the perspective of a padre.Además, for people who want Dooce stop self-promotion – there are many people out there who want to know when they can recover on The Today Show, or if you can find articles on it same. WE LIKE HER! Rating: 5 / 5

   I enjoyed the essays by other authors Heather’s essay. My favorite was the essay written by the author [. . . ] It was inspiring and life changing. I would buy this book just for the privilege of reading your essay. It was a jewel in a book of mediocre writing inttermitent. In general, it was worth. Rating: 4 / 5

   It was a quick read. It was a slow and dangerous to read, reading dark and twisty and sentimental. A collection of stories invoking all kinds of parents, parents Goofy, angry parents, parents suffering from dementia and conservatism, parents, and overwhelmed as mothers, fathers, mothers prepare for divorce, parents reliving their whims of Star Wars with their children. Parents Ernesto. Scared parents. Loving parents. Human parents. The collection reminds me of Deadwood bar in Iowa City, one of the cabins of the dark earth, horrible coffee and back Christmas trees. Thick and smoky with a fresh draft. People who were comfortable there will like this book. I loved the Deadwood. Rating: 4 / 5
