What a perfect book for my first official review! A "children's book" with a big ol' Fuck right in the title. Alright, so it's not technically a children's book, and technically, technically, you shouldn't really read it to your child. But you will want to. You will be quoting this little gem to yourself, at 3 am, when your little shit is screaming and all you want to do is get yourself back to fucking bed.
This book is an anthem for exhausted parents everywhere. It is a quick 32 pages, with cutesy drawings of pain in the ass kids who refuse to rest their dopey little heads, and it is written to emulate those bedtime stories we read ad nauseam to our kids. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will sympathize with the author. Also, if you are not an actual, full-time parent, you might think you get it...but you bloody well don't!
As a side note, I should mention that I learned the hard way that this book is not an appropriate baby shower gift. Stuck up pregnant bitches...
Should you feel inclined here is Samuel L. Jackson's reading of the book. However, you should read the book yourself first, it's best in your own voice.
How many fucks do I give about this book? 5 out of 5 fucks are given! Buy it, read it! Now sluts!
The author (Adam Mansbach) has also released a second book "You have to Fucking Eat". I haven't read it yet. I would like a version of this book devoted to all the husbands out there called "Get the fuck off me, I'm trying to fucking sleep!".
