It seems all the reviewers exposed to the audio version had the same reaction I did. Mr. Roker self-narrates with only occasional hints of embarrassment all the banal details of getting to be a father, leaving absolutely nothing out. I tried to hang on until he actually gets into the kind of parenting situations alluded to by the title and cover photograph, but I just couldn't make it. One-third the way into the presentation, The baby's still not even born, and he and his wife are deciding how to decorate the nursery (they ultimately chose to sponge-paint the walls). That's where I bailed, feeling ashamed with myself for sticking with it for as long as I did. I've never felt so abused by an audio book in my life.
