Customer Reviews

Love it!

I've been listening to the What Would Rob Do podcast for quite a while and love the book. Quite a lot of good advice but also plenty of Rob Sachs' trademark humor.. I read almost the whole "flatulence" chapter out loud to my fiance, which had us both laughing out loud. 5 stars!

Very Funny!

This book is original and funny! You can read it in order or choose topics that interest you- I especially liked the part about how to deal with Dog Poop on your shoe. It is a great gift book- for a grad or for father's day. I got the book because I am a big NPR fan and was surprised how much fun it was to read!
