When I read the title and description of this book, I expected a comical take on what it means to be a man today. What I got was comical in parts, but was overall a more serious look on what being a man really is. Heimbuch speaks of his feelings freely and at times I even got choked up reading about his struggle to define his manhood when basing on the definitions of the men in his family. The book had a lot more heart than I was expecting, and that was nice surprise. I am recommending it to my husband and I would recommend it to any young husband/father who is a little unsure of his manhood.
