Good Info, Narration Trouble

I really did like a lot of the encouragement in this book. Some gems stood out that I can tell will mean a lot to me as a new dad. I don't like giving critical reviews, but this issue just kept happening.

I can’t understand what happened in some of the narrating. Or at least why someone didn’t catch it before releasing this audiobook. Either the script being read was bad, or the narrator would misread something. I’m sure I would stumble every now and then if it were me narrating, but the point would be to do another take on that section before releasing the audio.

Some of the phrasing is strange so you can’t understand what he’s saying. Also, some of the words are just wrong. For instance, in the section on the importance of delegation, he states, “you can’t do anything.” I am sure that the correct phrase here would be, “you can’t do everything.”

Another example. One section header advised dads to “love conditionally” ... after replaying a couple times I realized, no, they meant “love unconditionally.” Another spot mis-quoted the phrase as, “do I state, not as I do” (leaving out the word AS, “do AS I state, not as I do”).

Overall it was a decent listen, I just found myself confused in more than a few moments due to this issue, having to rewind and de-code. I eventually just had to put the book down.

There are definitely some common sense, you’ll fig

It had good tips and it was well written, however the author refers to your baby as "she" and "her". If you have a girl then it will just seem natural. But I had a boy and it was very distracting. I wouldn't recommend that they him or he, but rather change it to "it" or "the baby" to keep it more universal, no mater what gender the child is.

Review of the Good Father

This book was too disJointed. Kept switching characters and stories from one chapter to the other very hard to follow. I’m going to go back and read it from the beginning and see if I can do better the second time but actually I don’t think I would recommend it.

Religion Based Parenting

Great book for those who choose to use religion as a basis for parenting. Was hoping for more of a lessons learned and best practices for child rearing without the religious overtones.

Heartachingly good....

As a mother, painful to listen to, but I admire and respect a good father. I was so scared for this father and daughter I was afraid to finish the story, but in the end it was worth it. I loved the narrators and the story was well read. Through all the heartache, I did finally take a deep breath and smile in the end.

Simply Said

The introduction to characters was a bit confusing but once you finally understand, it all becomes quite impressive. The story has so many emotions and a beautiful set of personalities. The narrator's were brilliant. It's a short story, you can't put down. I finished it in 3 night's.

great info but not narrator

No narrator's monotone delivery made it difficult for me to actually get into and pay attention to the information. So I did a lot of re-listening as I went along. However, this book gave some great info nuggets as it went on. This made it worth my time.

Poor Quality

This book may be great, but due to the poor recording quality and narrator I can’t continue to listen to it. I should have listened to a sample before wasting a credit.
