Publisher's Summary:

In this classic parody, Thomas Hill presents the testosterone-inspired answer to the best-seller What to Expect When You're Expecting.

The third edition of the best, funniest father's guide to having a baby, What to Expect When Your Wife Is Expanding, is now thoroughly revised and updated, but it's still packed with information, advice, and attitude - distinctively for guys. Originally conceived as a little parody, just something funny and helpful for the expectant man, the audiobook is now a classic gift, passed knowingly from one generation of first-time papas to the next.

With this lighthearted month-by-month instruction manual on the care and nurture of a pregnant wife - the main role of expectant dads - he'll handle all the important milestones and topics: what not to say during the three phases of labor, what to buy, how many and when, maintaining work-life balance, and maintaining work-life-wife balance.

New features in What to Expect When Your Wife Is Expanding include:

What to Expect When Your Wife Is Expanding also features the latest trends!

gift idea

The book has a lot of humor. Buyer be aware if that isn't what you are looking for.

Good info.

My son actually reads this.....to make sure he knows what NOT to do to irritate his wife. Hilarious.

Five Stars

very good info for father who is expecting a child with wife or girlfriend

It's okay..

It's just okay. Looked at it early on but haven't looked at it again. Yeah there are some funny lines but it could of been funnier. I bought for me and my husband and he's actually picking up another what to expect book as well as researching online (or playing candy crush not sure exactly). The estimated costs at each month I felt were a little inflated so don't get scared. Just look online and you can find some great deals. Also, I wouldn't buy all the basics or you'll end up with a bunch of stuff you'll never use in my opinion. Hopefully someone I know will get knocked up soon so I can regift it to them.

This book is funny

I really like this book. I bought it for my husband when I was pregnant with our now 14 yr old. He was not impressed. But then again, he never read any of my pregnancy books. The book is a little informative and gets right to the point, but it does not have tons of info. The advice is good. I wish my husband read it though. He got in to an argument with me over our 14 yr old's name, while I was in labor! He had changed his mind! Not kidding! But the point is, I think the book is so much fun. I am 4 months pregnant now and have not even bothered to open any other pregnancy book. This book is fun enough that my older children have all even read it. My one child took the book to 1st grade for his reading book. The staff at the school got a kick out of it and apparently passed it around. (I did not know he was taking it to school, he just stuck it in his backpack, but even he liked it clearly). So, I highly recommend this book. If you want tons of serious info though, try some of your wife's books, She will have plenty most likely. But this book is still fun and I think more expecting women would enjoy it.

Title: Pussy

Author: Howard Jacobson

Narrator: Mike Grady

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 37 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-15-17

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Comedy, Satire

Publisher's Summary:

Pussy is the story of Prince Fracassus, heir presumptive to the Duchy of Origen, famed for its golden-gated skyscrapers and casinos, who passes his boyhood watching reality shows on TV, imagining himself to be the Roman Emperor Nero, and fantasizing about hookers. He is idle, boastful, thin-skinned and egotistic; has no manners, no curiosity, no knowledge, no idea and no words in which to express them. Could he, in that case, be the very leader to make the country great again?

Members Reviews:

Entertaining and amusing easy read.

This was a gift for my husband who'd read a review about it. He wasn't disappointed! Entertaining and amusing easy read.

Funny, scary

Funny, until you think of the possible things he could do.

A quick, pleasurable, and rewarding read

First, Amazon, if you want a thoughtful yet concise book review, stop demanding answers to multiple choice offerings that sound like points a third grade teacher requires from book reports from her students as the price of posting a review. Some of us have a workmanlike command of the English language and can get our thoughts across without your demands. They are insulting.

Jacobson's book may be remembered as being to Trump what 1984 was to Stalin. No character or group gets a pass, though some are less repellant, and more witty, than others. The first 150 pages of this book are the best, as Jacobson describes, and encapsulates with wonderfully compact language, the trends, left and right, rich and poor, progressive and regressive, that grow into an electorate that shares, across spectrums a "my way or the highway" frame of reference that bars reflection and dialogue, and encourages polarization, in matters political and cultural. It is a great mirror on Western politics in the last few years.

One advantage of the Kindle edition is the ability to, with slight pressure of a digit, to look up the definition or origin of an unfamiliar name, imaginary place, or word on Wikipedia or in a dictionary. Part of the pleasure of reading this book was quickly discovering the the meanings behind the names of the lands or cities or homes Jacobson assigned to them, as well as the not excessive amount of $3 words he uses to compress his narrative while coloring in a scene or thought.

Pussy: A satyr.

When a subject is beyond satire, there are really only two ways to go: make your audience laugh like drains or dip your pen in the deadliest of venom. Iâm a huge fan of Howard Jacobson â even, I would say, a little in love with him - but Iâm afraid that, for me, his timely satyrâs tale fails to trump real life.

He has some fun with names: Trump is Prince Fracassus, heir presumptive of the Republic of Urbs-Ludus, Sojjourner is the hat-check-girl-turned-political-rival and Vozzek Spravchik plays Putin. I chuckled at the mention of the Artisanal Bread Riots and enjoyed the renderings of the princely silhouettes - is that the devilâs tail or a long, dangling tie? But a sense of time and place is strangely absent. The year is 20** which could be past, present or future but in the absence of any new-fangled technology, one has to assume that this fable is set in present time; Twitter, rather boringly, remains the mass messaging platform of choice.

But then, Howard Jacobson does what Howard Jacobson does best and presents a pithy analysis of the dichotomies of our times: âA hunger for change. A dread of change.

A smart, funny, and essential survival guide that you didn't know you needed. But you do.

Title: And Then You're Dead

Subtitle: What Really Happens If You Get Swallowed by a Whale, Are Shot from a Cannon, or Go Barreling over Niagara

Author: Cody Cassidy, Paul Doherty

Narrator: Dennis Boutsikaris

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 58 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-04-17

Publisher: Penguin Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 81 votes

Genres: Comedy, Satire

Publisher's Summary:

A gleefully gruesome look at the actual science behind the most outlandish, cartoonish, and impossible deaths you can imagine.

What would happen if you took a swim outside a deep-sea submarine wearing only a swimsuit? How long could you last if you stood on the surface of the sun? How far could you actually get in digging a hole to China? Paul Doherty, senior staff scientist at San Francisco's famed Exploratorium Museum, and writer Cody Cassidy explore the real science behind these and other fantastical scenarios, offering insights into physics, astronomy, anatomy, and more along the way.

Is slipping on a banana peel really as hazardous to your health as the cartoons imply? Answer: yes. Banana peels ooze a gel that turns out to be extremely slippery. Your foot and body weight provide the pressure. The gel provides the humor (and resulting head trauma).

Can you die by shaking someone's hand? Answer: yes. That's because, due to atomic repulsion, you've never actually touched another person's hand. If you could, the results would be as disastrous as a medium-sized hydrogen bomb.

If you were Cookie Monster, just how many cookies could you actually eat in one sitting? Answer: Most stomachs can hold up to 60 cookies, or around four liters. If you eat or drink more than that, you're approaching the point at which the cookies would break through the lesser curvature of your stomach, and then you'd better call an ambulance to Sesame Street.

perfect for a precocious 9 year old boy

Road trip entertainment. It was captivating and fascinating. Who knew your eyeballs would boil on the moon?

It was a bit eerie that I felt haunted by American Gods while listening to this book. Couldn't put my finger on it. Then I checked: Dennis Boutsikaris: same narrator.

I think I would enjoy listening to him read a phone book.

Overall, an excellent listening experience.

9 year-old boy and 40-something Mom approved! 12 year-old daughter Meh.

So Great!

After reading "What If?" I saw this in my list of suggestions on Audible. I am so glad I read it. I wish the book was longer because it is so entertaining and informative, and I want more. Great writing style, wonderful reading, just perfect.

Very Interesting .

For the curious & inquisitive, a scientific breakdown of some very interesting "what ifs".

there were questions answered,that i had never thought of before and some i had.

Fun book!

The book answers many questions my crazy middle school students ask. I learned some science to boot!

I could not stop listening

The narrator was the perfect choice. I just was sorry that it ended so soon. The explanations of what exactly happens in each case make us understand the physics at play. Relating the various environments to the human body and its needs made them more understandable for me.
