To be fair, I only read the first couple of chapters. That’s because it wasn’t funny, and was not written very well. I know he’s a funny comedian, but he should stick to that, or have help writing. Honestly, from what I read, the cover, and the title, where the funniest part of the book (yes, I didn’t read the whole thing)

SO…I hope the remainder of the book does get better. It’s a fun concept for a book.

(from the review at gametheorist.blogspot.com) I used to watch Nealon on Saturday Night Live and I think he occasionally pops up in movies. But I chose this book primarily because I was sitting at the next table to him in an LA airport lounge last year and he looked pretty much like the picture on the front of his book. Interestingly, he had bought a Sony eBook reader just as the Kindle had come out and I was puzzled about this. Maybe it was for the flight only to discover he was going to need a computer to get at those books.

His book is about his experience in pregnancy — not his really but his wife’s. He is 53 and so is older than the average parent and also, his celebrity lifestyle defined much of what he was going through. There was lots of angst about having children and feelings about life in general which gave him an excuse to recount previous non-parenting incidents with random abandon. It had its moments but there was not alot that I found easy to relate to. Nonetheless, I suspect that if you are pregnant (or close to one who is) this would be a good read.

Yes, You’re Pregnant, But What About Me? by Kevin Nealon

Have you ever been watching a television “comedy” and suddenly

realized that you’re not laughing at all? Either you don’t get the

jokes that members of the studio audience find so hilarious, or –

more likely — the alleged comedy is just not to your liking. That’s

pretty much how I felt about this book. Kevin Nealon tries

desperately to wring a laugh or two out of what has the potential to

be a goldmine of funny stories, but he fails miserably. Part of the

problem, I think, is the meandering, stream of consciousness style he

uses when he writes. For some people, writing the same way they talk

is a good thing. For Nealon, it’s not. You would think, for example,

that the book would start with a discussion of his wife’s pregnancy.

It doesn’t. We have to sit through chapter after chapter recounting

Nealon’s fairly uneventful upbringing and the events that led him to

being a first-time father in his 50s. Despite his best efforts, or

what I assume are his best efforts, the stories just aren’t funny. As

a reader, I could tell where Nealon intended the funny parts to be,

but I didn’t so much as chuckle even one time. That’s not a good

thing for a book that is supposed to be funny.

This humorous memoir has potty humor that even women will enjoy. Seriously, I don’t want to give anything away so I’ll just say that Kevin Nealon shows us his vulnerable side as he recounts the time his girlfriend/future wife came to his aid in the bathroom. The result is hilarious and surprisingly touching. Nealon’s entire memoir is goofy and zany. The content circles around getting older, facing the fears of fatherhood, and pregnancy sympathy pains–all told through a ludicrus and neurotic point of view. Sometimes I didn’t know he was setting me up for a joke until I was laughing out loud, delighted to be caught off-guard. The pace and timing has the mark of a talented professional. You might recognize Nealon from his current showtime series, Weeds, and as a former cast member of Saturday Night Live (Pumping up with Hanz and Franz). Good-looking in an average, unostentatious way, Nealon gives off the impression of being just-a-regular-guy, an image that he perpetuates in this book, playing down the glamorous aspects of his life (despite his celebraty status and being married to a Hollywood actress) and playing up his dopiness. Just look on the book’s cover, where a disheveled, pajama-clad Kevin wears the same expression you might find on a lost puppy dog.

Recommended for people who like DaVe Barry.

This book was an excellent read. A friend of mine gave it to me in the 8th month of pregnancy. It’s funny, informative and puts a lot of things in perspective. I highly recommend this book.
