I picked this book up on a whim because I thought the title was amusing. little did I know that it would present very sound, well-thought advice on parenting wrapped in an enjoyably fun-to-read package. I love Beckwith's style and humor, and her insight is amazing! I don't just recommend this book to people who have children, either. If you do have kids, or are planning to have kids, or are thinking of getting married: this book is awesome. Additionally, if none of the above categories apply to you, but you were born in the seventies, have any obsessive tendencies, or have nieces and nephews: read this book! I also have to mention that, if you are a fan of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series, you will really enjoy Beckwith's stories about growing up. In short, I highly recommend this book!
