Review of The First Time Father
[Following is a volunteer review of "The First Time Father" by Thomas Alfie.]
Parenting is not an easy job, and fatherhood is not an easy duty. Thomas Alfie gives the reader an insight into what fatherhood entails and the challenges that will spring up when expecting a baby in his book titled The First Time Father. This book is steeped in family, love, and responsibilities.
This 150-page book tells of the journey of the author into parenting. The author shares his experience of what he encountered as a man who became a father. The book contains tips to guide new fathers in tackling the changes that will occur due to the arrival of a baby. The importance and essence of a baby having an available father are also discussed in this book. Is there a set standard for being a parent, especially a father? How do you balance your home and work life? The answer to these questions and more can be found within the pages of this book.
The book is partitioned into ten chapters and is written in a conversational manner that allows the reader to be an active follower of the message the author is trying to convey. The simple choice of language used by the author and how he delivers his message making the reader have a smooth reading experience is admirable. Images were employed at strategic places in the book, which served to place more focus on the subject matter in view. The book is a beautiful piece that meets the author's purpose in writing the book. It is comprehensively detailed. The author took his time to carefully point out the obstacles that new parents might encounter during pregnancy and after delivery.
I love how the author fuses his experience and advice to form a whole message. The shared experience helps the reader relate to what the author is saying. I admire the author's openness in making everything plain, even his areas of weakness. For instance, in the fourth chapter, he talked about being a Twitter geek and how he had to reduce it for the benefit of his daughter. My favourite part of the book was when the author talked about meeting his daughter in her crib during the night. It was enthralling to imagine the author's feeling at being a part of such a wonderful moment.
I disliked nothing about this book; I loved reading every aspect. While reading the book, I observed two errors that did not impede my reading process. Therefore, I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because it is well edited. Also, the lessons are practical and inspiring to all men.
In conclusion, I recommend this book to potential fathers who are still determining what to expect as they face this new phase of their life. It will educate them and give answers to any unasked questions they might have.
