When he became a father, Michael Lewis found himself expected to feel things that he didn't feel, and to do things that he couldn't see the point of doing. At first this made him feel guilty, until he realized that all around him fathers were pretending to do one thing, to feel one way, when in fact they felt and did all sorts of things, then engaged in what amounted to an extended cover-up. Lewis decided to keep a written record of what actually happened immediately after the birth of each of his three children. This book is that record. But it may also be the funniest, most unsparing account of ordinary daily household life ever recorded from the point of view of the man inside. The remarkable thing about this story isn't that Lewis is so unusual--it's that he is so typical.--From publisher description.… (mais)

Let's see, what did I learn from this book?

1. Fathers feel like they are not as important in childrearing as the mother.
2. Small children enjoy using foul language, without understanding its social repercussions.
3. Vasectomies don't always "take".
4. Having kids means accepting long periods of sleep deprivation.

Overall, a quick and entertaining read, but I certainly think this was written for dads. I am not a dad. ( )

Michael Lewis wrote The Blind Side and Moneyball. I expected a lot more from him about this memoir of becoming a father. Ironically, I'm writing this review with a 4 week year old in my lap, and I thought that I would find some laughs or golden nuggets of wisdom from him. This is fool's gold.

Recommended for Fathers. Very funny story in the intro. Author set out to describe how his life was changing during the first 6 months after each kids birth. Ends up being mostly humorous stories about fatherhood. ( )

An unsparing observation about the disparity between social expectation and the actual experiences of new fathers. Shares stories from the author's life after the births of his three children.

Michael Lewis’s “Home Game” is meant for the man who has everything — including a grudging attitude toward raising his own children.
