Absolutely hilarious and refreshing after 100 other boring pregnancy books.

Supposed to be a parody of WTEWYE. I expected it to be funnier, but once you've read one pregnancy joke, you've pretty much read them all. Not that great at all. I just skimmed it.

HILLARIOUS!!!! This guide from one of the writers of Daily Show takes a fetus through all three semesters of pregnancy, with jabs at Moms and Dads, not to mention the whole baby industry. Get this for the woman who is expecting.

I bought this book because I saw the author on The Daily Show, and, well, we are expecting, so it seemed to make sense. David Javerbaum was absolutely hysterical on TV so I figured the book would be equally funny.
I found the book to be generally enjoyable, but I'm not sure where it fits. I've already read "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and the book does follow a very similar structure - taking you through each month, listing the changes that the fetus goes through and some other points of discussion.
While I found the book to be funny, and it did have some LOL moments, it wasn't as funny as I thought. It obviously isn't intended as a replacement for "What to Expect When You're Expecting" so I guess it's more of a funny companion. I think the book is best read as an accompaniment to that book, or maybe as a substitute if one of the parents isn't willing to read the 'real' book. Some of the language and topics can be coarse so it's not something you could read to an older child expecting a younger sibling. It does provide some laughs, so maybe it would be best as a way to take a break from the 'seriousness' of expecting a child?
I guess not every book needs a place, and this one was enjoyable enough to be worth reading anyway.

After all the seriousness of "real" pregnancy books, this one is good for a laugh. It reads a lot like the Daily Show books ("America" and "Earth"), no surprise given the author. There were several parts that had me laughing out loud. I recommend it as a reprieve from all the week-by-week and what-to-expect stuff that you end up reading during pregnancy!
