Absolutely hilarious!
I have never laughed so hard or so much while reading a book! You will not be able to put this book down until the end and then you will be left craving more.
This is not a book for the faint of heart -- expect foul language and lack of political correctness. If you can't see past these things, then you won't enjoy this book, which in my opinion makes this book great!
There are also many touching moments that makes you see the love between and father and soon. A perfect gift for just about everyone.
Grade: A+
Synopsis [B&N]
This book is ridiculously hilarious, and makes my father look like a normal member of society.
Chelsea Handler
Read this unless you re allergic to laughing.
Kristen Bell
If you re wondering if there is a real man behind the quotes on Twitter, the answer is a definite and laugh-out-loud yes.

Tuesdays with Morrie meets F My Life in this hilarious book about a son s relationship with his foul-mouthed father by the 29-year-old comedy writer who created the massively popular Twitter feed of the same name.
After being dumped by his longtime girlfriend, twenty-eight-year-old Justin Halpern found himself living at home with his seventy-three-year-old dad. Sam Halpern, who is "like Socrates, but angrier, and with worse hair," has never minced words, and when Justin moved back home, he began to record all the ridiculous things his dad said to him:
"That woman was sexy. . . . Out of your league? Son, let women figure out why they won't screw you. Don't do it for them."
"Do people your age know how to comb their hair? It looks like two squirrels crawled on their heads and started fucking."
"The worst thing you can be is a liar. . . . Okay, fine, yes, the worst thing you can be is a Nazi, but then number two is liar. Nazi one, liar two."
More than a million people now follow Mr. Halpern's philosophical musings on Twitter, and in this book, his son weaves a brilliantly funny, touching coming-of-age memoir around the best of his quotes. An all-American story that unfolds on the Little League field, in Denny's, during excruciating family road trips, and, most frequently, in the Halperns' kitchen over bowls of Grape-Nuts, Sh*t My Dad Says is a chaotic, hilarious, true portrait of a father-son relationship from a major new comic voice.
