Babyhood

By: Paul Reiser

Narrated by: Paul Reiser

I'm going to be totally honest. This is not the kind of audiobook that can help you. It's not a "how-to," a "when-to," or a "what-to-expect." It's not even endorsed by anyone remotely connected to the medical profession. (Although a cousin of mine who sells carpeting to doctors' offices not only found it "insightful" and "informative," but felt that, "if properly vacuumed, it should last a lifetime.")

"A fine endorsement," you say. "But if I have only one audiobook to buy, shouldn't I go for the helpful one?"

Let's compare:

Those "know-it-all" books tell you how to have a happy, healthy pregnancy. My book mentions a squirrel.

Those books tell you how to care for a newborn child. My book describes how tired I am.

Those books give you essential information you can use in a life-threatening emergency. My book has some very amusing anecdotes about poop.

So really, it's up to you.

If you want to be prepared and well-informed, I understand. But if you enjoy hearing the words "pterodactyl" and "uterus" in the same book, you've come to the right place.©1997 Paul Reiser; (P)1997 Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Publishing, Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Publishing, A Division of Random House Inc.

great book

I loved it as always Paul is a gifted writer and comic too I personally enjoy all his works.

Funniest Book Ever

I practically couldn't breathe when reading this book. It was so funny! I laughed so hard. And I love it as an audio book. I've listned to it more than once. :)

Funny... if you like stories about babies

What did you like best about Babyhood? What did you like least?

Big fan of Paul who reads this book well BUT the content is not for me. The title should have been the give away but I was hoping for better stories.

Classic Paul Reiser goodness

Any additional comments?

This is a logical follow on to Couplehood and has the same humor and timing that you come to expect from Paul Reiser. I can't wait to listen to Familyhood next!

Love!

So funny and real all at the same time! Fun to hear him in his own words!
