 I think they're confused about the audience. June 24, 2002

See, those of us who don't have children usually don't precisely because we see what a wreck they have made of their parents' lives. And the scariest thing is that the parents don't even realize it. They are the ones who coo over spit-up and bowel movements. They cart their infants along to see The Mummy and Blade II. They let them howl and throw food at the other diners in fine restaurants. The edginess of this book is lost on them.
 Cute, but dissappointed anyway January 23, 2003

This book was quite dissappointing. As soon I opened the package it came in my heart sank when I saw how small it was. There is no room for photos, although I understand it is not really that kind of book. It is more for comedic value, not as a baby memory book. It definitly is not for single parents (which I am) and I found that I can't even fill out half of the book because of the categories such as: "Name of cab driver/police officer who helped deliver baby", and other silly questions that make up the book. It is cute, perhaps as a gag shower gift but not to buy if you want a nice book with meaningful places to record milestones and such.
However, I was impressed with the cute illustrations (small but cute) and in the back of the book theres funny reads like "what parents talk about with their friends now" (among the list is 'analyzing baby poop' and 'breast-feeding the gritty details'.) Which I found very funny since it is SO true! and on the next page, "what they used to talk about"
4 stars for humor, 2 stars for memoribilia, 4 stars for creativity and uniqueness.
This book is for the young, old, and humorous at heart! March 7, 2003

I have read some of the reviews of this book and I was disappointed at the number of people who were not enjoying this book. My sister-in-law received this book from a friend, so I went out and bought it for my friend. I feel modern parents, or the younger parents will enjoy this book more. I wrote a little insert on my friend's front cover saying, "I hope you never have to use this book. I thought it was cute and I wanted you to know I was excited about the birth of the baby." It's true. I hope no one has to actually write down half of the things in this book. It's a nice conversation starter. It's great reading material. The authors made this book one of a kind. More and more people are looking for books and shower gifts that make a statement. This will do it!5 stars for orginality.
5 stars for funny.
5 stars for thank god I don't have to use this on my children!
For those who "get" it...get this book October 8, 2003

The mark of a really choice comedic book is when someone who isn't even in the target demographic picks it up and can't put it down until after reading it all the way through. I first saw this book at a Best Buy, laughed hysterically, then after wiping away my tears, recorded the title into my Palm Pilot for future reference. Right now, there's an unsuspecting pregnant friend of mine out there about to get this book...and she's going to LOVE it! There seem to be a couple reviewers here who think this book is actually supposed to be a record keeper or something to read a million times over. Someone mentioned that the book doesn't contain evergreen cultural references. (Gee, if that were a sign of success, then Stephen King would have been in big trouble a long time ago.) This is an "in the moment" book for a time that is best lived, well, in the moment. Great job.
