The Diary of an Expectant Father

The Diary of a Father Book 1

By: Pete Sortwell

Narrated by: Will M Watt

Not only is Graham Peterson unlucky in his choice of careers, he's also been terrible with women throughout his adult life. That changes when he meets Alison on a work night out. Unfortunately for Graham, however, things change so drastically that within a month of dating Alison, he gets the news that he's about to become a father for the first time.

The Diary of an Expectant Father charts the months leading up to what should be the happiest day of a young couple's life, but with a relationship so new and a career so bad, can Graham keep everything together for the sake of his unborn child?

With all the pitfalls and worries of an expectant father charted, this book is for all those who have been through pregnancy or just want to know how a man deals with all these things internally.

Expectant Father is the first in a series of diaries by Graham Peterson, who sometimes thinks he's writing to an alien warlord from the future. The next in the series, The Diary of a Hapless Father: Months 1-3, charts those first three terrifying months of parenthood.

brilliant

Any additional comments?

I revieved this audiobook in return for an unbiased review.

This is a highly amusing short story,( 2hours,18 mins) the title explains it all, Graham suddenly finds he is about to become a father .
It is told in diary form but this does not at all spoil the plot/story.
If any of you men are in doubt as to whether you want to enter fatherhood or not , you should listen to this book, if you are not put off - then you are ready !!

perfectly narrated by Will M Watt, siuted the comical style without sounding rediculous

Hilarious!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this as a great laugh reading, regardless if you've ever been a parent or not. As I am a parent I've been in this position, even though I am not the father, but my husband was kind of like Graham Peterson in our first child and it reminded me of those days. It is the first of the series and I am really looking forward to seeing what's going to happen next.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Graham Peterson of course, unlucky in his jobs, unlucky in love until Alison, but I think his 'bad' luck follows him even in this wonderful turn of events.

What about Will M Watt’s performance did you like?

His British accent made it even more hilarious and I really liked his performance a lot.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, all in one sitting laughing out loud most of the times.

Any additional comments?

I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. I hope this review was useful to you and helped your decision to read or not read this book. I love reading and sharing my opinions with other readers. Thank you very much Pete Sortwell for this book and of course Will M. Watt.

Fun read about a young man & a surprise pregnancy

Where does The Diary of an Expectant Father rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

THE Diary of an Expectiant Father is the first novella in a series about Graham, a hapless young man who perhaps impregnated a young woman during a one-night stand. The author protrays Graham as sweet, dedicated, and naive, The character is written well, with good humor,and narrated nicely by Will Watt.

What other book might you compare The Diary of an Expectant Father to and why?

The book reminded me of .a less sophisticated version of the Shopaholic series, and form the male perspective

What does Will M Watt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I thought Will M Watt was perfect as the narrator. His voice lended youth and sweetness to Graham and he really helped me visualize Graham.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I enjoyed the cliffhanger ending to the story.

An entertaining book

I thought this was a pretty good story. Being a father myself I went through many of the same things that he is going through.

Fun!
