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.

Negative Review
This book is very crude. It's obviously from a son to a father, but the language is really bad. I'm Irish, so I'm used to being about F bombs, but this was outside of funny. It was just crude and in bad taste. Don't buy this.

my dad loved it
i have the type of dad who doesnt like anything, and has everything. i had actually never seen him crack open a book, in my 26 years of existance. so i figured, eh whats ten bucks? i went out on a limb and got him the book. he laughed his *** off. and randomly would quote the book. my bfs dad is the exact same way, a real guys guy. he laughed at the book too!! seriously... its worth it.

I just looked at the book briefly as I bought it for my father in law. Everything I read was funny, but may be offensive to some people.

Funny
This book is very funny, as of 1-11-11 I think they are making a movie/TV show out of the book. I would recommended for whenever someone is in a bad mood to read a couple pages. Great book if you know someone who acts or think like this, example: my father.
