Reviews
"Lauded by fellow comedians Jerry Seinfeld and Jim Gaffigan, Papa will send readers into peals of laughter... At times poignant, always tickling the funny bone, Papa's first book will brighten the most challenging days of toddler- and teenagerhood." -- Library Journal (starred review) " Your Dad Stole My Rake: And Other Family Dilemmas is a collection of essays with laughs on every page." -- Bookpage "A hilarious book about family, from crazy aunts and uncles, loud grandparents, parenting exploits and more. You might not have Tom Papa's relatives, but you'll probably recognize them." -- The New York Post "This book will have your father laughing louder than he does at his own dad jokes." -- Bustle "I have been a close friend of Tom Papa for 17 years. His lack of ability to perceive even the most basic principles of human functioning have made him an invaluable asset to me as a friend and colleague. Because he sees nothing, knows nothing and understands nothing, I always seek his advice for the most complex matters. Furthermore, I would definitely recommend whatever the name of this book is, because I know it comes from a place of pure nonsense without any knowledge of anything. He is really one of my favorite people." - Jerry Seinfeld, author of SeinLanguage "Finally a funny book about parenting. Great observations. Great writing. Actually funny. I've always known Tom was hysterical, now I know he is a great writer and a fantastic storyteller. Can Tom Papa write all books?" - Jim Gaffigan, author of Dad is Fat "After reading Tom Papa's book, I have come to these conclusions: No one is more put-upon than Tom Papa. Nobody constructs a story and builds a joke better than Tom Papa. Also, Tom Papa is exhausted. I'm very happy he found the energy to write this hilarious book." - Jane Lynch, author of Happy Accidents "This book is a miracle of alchemy; with his gift for observation and unique perspective, Tom Papa has spun his meaningless life into comic gold. Ours is not to wonder why--or how--he does this, but instead to rejoice, laugh, and keep paying him in American dollars." - Steven Soderbergh

    The Blu-ray was just as described: brand new and sealed. Had no issues with playback, and the package arrived safely. The price was fair and shipping was okay but took a bit longer than expected. Overall, I am a happy customer.
