Tales from the Dad Side: Misadventures in Fatherhood

Tales from the Dad Side was funny!

I really enjoyed reading this book. Its an easy, enjoyable, light read. It made me laugh and reminded me of my own Dad and my growing up years. It made me wonder what my children must have endured growing up in my home. I think I'll pass the book along to them; maybe, it will help them see that those growing up years are where memories are made and what we have to hold onto once we are away from one another.

I totally recommend this book. It can be read in a day or two.

Tried to hard to be funny

My husband bought it to read actual tales from a father's point of view. Instead he got a wannabe comedy routine.

Want to change your mood. Buy Steve's book "Tales from the Dad Side". Bought it saturday at LSU. Really helped me get out of the dumps. I laugh so hard I was crying and that was just on the foreword and the 1st chapter. After the game instead of a beer to drain my sorrows I just picked up the book to get a good laugh. You will find yourself laughing out loud. Giving the book to my son. But I am going to get another one for myself for anytime I need a quick pick me up.

Not just for Dads!

Mr. Brady has nothing on Steve Doocy! I think he may just be the best father on earth after my Dad and Hubby of course. This book is a fabulous family must read. It is touching and yet humorous. I love how he has a humorous spin on life as as Dad. We are raising two kids of our own right now and it is wonderful to finally read things from fathers point of few. The best part of the book is that it is so real! I am happy to finally read a book from the Dads Side.

Steve's Book is a MUST READ for the Whole Family, not just Dads!

I did it to myself again - I bought a book authored by Steve Doocy and chose an evironment inappropriate for bursts of laughter when I cracked it open for the first time.

It was during the 2nd half of the last game of the World Series, while sitting on the couch with my husband suffering from a cold. We're Tampa bay residents and Rays fans; the picture is now complete.

Knowing Steve Doocy's entertainment factor from his first book, I read "Tales from the Dad Side" as a non-Dad. Don't let the title fool you: Steve's Doocy's book applies to practically every family member you know - including yourself!

The fits of laughter started with Steve's choice of activities following the birth of his son Peter (God bless you, Mrs. Doocy!) and continued beyond his experience at the spa/salon with his two daughters. The humorous and heart-felt recounts take the reader all over the world: from Steve's hometown, to a volcano in Hawaii, to Ireland and many stops along the way.

Sidenote, after reading this book, you will definitely take on a different view of parmesan cheese and the Blarney stone!

For me, Steve's book comes at a time when we need as much laughter and positive family experiences as possible in our lives. I quickly turned to Steve's book while our Rays lost the world series, the market continued to tank and the Presidential election kept us up for several nights leading to and including election night.

This book shows us the 'behind the scenes' Steve Doocy we watch every morning on Fox & Friends. If nothing else, we now know the greatness behind Steve's success (in addition to his hard work and humor): his family!

This is a must read - once you start, you will find yourself soaking in pages at a fast pace while reflecting on the quirks and laughs supplied by your own family.

Thank you Steve and THANK YOU Doocy family!

An Average Dad

Steve is a great story teller and just an average dad. He's a man that loves and defends his family, even to his own embarassment! (How many dads will go to the salon with his girls?)

The most touching stories of his book were about his father. Calling his own dad a legend and honoring him with a trip were stories that brought tears to my eyes.

This book was a fun, easy enjoyable read. Any dad will love the stories and will probably nod in agreement at the stories Steve tells.

Blissfully Funny

I just read this fantsticly intresting book about things from a slightly diffrent point of view...I don't want to give too much away but I will say this I hope you spend every morning with Steve Doocy on Fox and Friends (sky ch 509 for those in europe) and I hope you buy this wonderfully funny and inresting book and spend a good few nights snuggled up having a few laughs at Steves expence! Go on get out ur cards and start ordering...I kno I'll be ordering his other books right now!!

This is a wonderful book!

I read Steve Doocy's new book "Tales From The Dad Side" & just loved it. I couldn't put it down & hated when I finished it. It was very entertaining, funny & inspirational. I highly recommend it & have told others about it. I will be buying it for other family members for Christmas gifts. All dads, especially with children still at home, should read this book.

Finally! A Positive Book on Dads.

Watching Steve on the morning show Fox and Friends I learned about this fatherhood book. As positive books about fathers are rare as Acorn organizers at a Country Club, I was excited about this book's potential.

I was not disappointed. As a father of five that have now flown the coop, I could certainly relate to most of the tales. Steve wrote this in a very humorous and easy to read flow. I finished it in two readings and have now passed it to a friend of mine.

If you enjoy good, clean fun along with that rare positive view of fatherhood, I would recommend this book. If you prefer the dark side and think that all dads are deeply flawed, I "highly" recommend this book.

I hope you found this review helpful.

A must read for DAD'S AND MOM'S. Steve Doocy has done it again. HILARIOUS!

Both my husband of 44 years and I have read the book and thouroughly enjoyed the laugh a minute humor and family stories of Steve Doocy.
Don't let this one pass you by!!
