Good Points: Very funny, Women can now see what the man has to go through in marriage and kids. It's just as hard for them as us. Great Book!

Bad Points: Somewhat repetitve- but nothing else

General comments: John O'Farrell describes the life of a man who loves his wife...until his wife talks him into having 3 children. He can't handle the stress so despite his financial problems already, he buys an apartment across London with 3 other men. He has the best intentions throughout the book but each plan ends up becomming a problem.

A married man with 2 children leads a double life: family man and bum. he spends half his time with family and the other half allegedly working but infact spends all day in bed or down the pub with 3 other misfits in a flat on the other side of london.
a series of increasingly near misses occur between his 2 lifestyles until the inevitable happens - his wife finds out, with predictably disastrous consequences. the final part of the book deals with their reconciliation.
