Home Game An Accidental Guide to Fatherhood
>> A Vindicating Book for Fathers
I laughed out loud as I read this book I am a big Michael Lewis fan and have found humor in all of his books even though he writes to educate and inspire Home Game meets all the standards of its predecessors
A new father I appreciated his downright brutal some mothers might say antisocial honesty He makes fathers feel safe having doubts and regrets but redeems his taboo thoughts with stories of genuine humanity
For example on an urban camping trip with his daughters they all discovered together that the author was no good at camping he of course embodied the daughters disappointment but related the tale with a self deprecating humor that makes the reader feel smarter and more fulfilled
My wife endorsed the book too probably because it puts fathers in the role of lovable dimwit when compared to the female parent The read can be cathartic even vindicating
Fair or not fathers have a role whose conventions are changing faster than we can define them Lewis comes as close as I ve read to describing the expectations emotions and realities of that role
>> Should be required parental reading
Michael Lewis should be the baseline requirement for parenting Anyone not smart enough to laugh constantly at Lewis insights should not be allowed to breed I m a parent and a grandparent and I m amazed at how much more about child raising he understands than I will ever comprehend This is a terrific book even if you are dumb enough to want to have kids after reading it
>> Hilarious
Michael Lewis is a natural storyteller After I heard my husband laughing out loud and reading passages from the book to me I just knew that I had to read this book
