Sh*t My Dad Says

Justin and his father will leave you in tears. I bought the book after being advised to pick it up by a friend. I grabbed a copy and thumbed through it after work. I ended up reading the entire book in one sitting, reading aloud to my dad for half of it. If you enjoy this, be sure to check out his newly released book, I Suck At Girls.

In the beginning of the book we learn of the events that led to the creation of the Twiter account, the book, and the television show. Introduction, page "x": "...all day long I dealt with people...who never really said what they were thinking. The more time I spent with my dad...the more grateful I started to feel..." Throughout there are expamples of his father expressing himself as thoughts come to him...stream of consciousness commenting, if you will. The more of the book I read, the more I laughed. Loudly. Many times... This is a book that can be read for short periods of time. It's great for those times when you have a break in the action. But, not if you're in areas where you need to be quiet and maintain control over outbursts: it may cause moments of grinning and laughing.

This is an easy read, i caught myself laughing out loud at times. And it reaply does hit close to home, not sure if that is the best thing, but the last chapter gave me some good prespective and helped me figure out a few thing in my own life.
