protoman21's review against another edition
3.0
Halpern's father doesn't play as prominent of a role in this book as his last one, but it is still a pretty good read. The stories are quick and neatly packaged and there is enough humor to keep from being dull. Not something I am raving about and recommending to everyone, but entertaining.

I didn't find this one as touching as Shit my Dad Says but I really like the style of these. Funny, fun reads with an appealing honesty running underneath all the banter and humor.

I read this book after I realized it was based off the TV show Surviving Jack, which we thought was hysterical. The language is quite coarse, and the subject material was edited quite a bit for prime time tv. The book tells the story of all the author's experiences with women as he contemplates proposing to his girlfriend. The show was more enjoyable for me than the book.

4.5 stars: 4 stars for the book, and an extra half star for the incredible voice talent of Sean Schemmel. I read Justin's first title, though after listening to this one, I am certain I missed out by not hearing Schemmel narrate it. His voices are so different (and he nails the dad voice!), if I didn't know better I would guess they were multiple voice actors. Supremely well done!
Now then, the book. Halpern is funny, and writes in an approachable, laugh-out-loud sort of way. My favorite parts were any time his dad was present, though the rest is good too. I didn't care for some of the analogies, but they weren't anything that ruined the story for me.
I watched the first (and only??) season of Surviving Jack, which is based on this book, and me and my sons loved it. It's honest and funny with a dash of sweet, just like the book.
