8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter: And other tips from a beleaguered father [not that any of them work]
Bruce Cameron is “the talk of parents nationwide” (People). He is “a brilliantly funny writer . . . in the tradition of James Thurber. He is so funny he makes you think that being a grown-up isn’t such a crummy deal after all” (Cathryn Michon, author of The Girl Genius Guide to Life); his observations are “warm and funny, exhibiting just the right mix of laughs and love” (Kansas City Star), and “rich with tongue-in-cheek fatherly wisdom” (Cincinnati Enquirer).

In this fascinating work, columnist W. Bruce Cameron describes the simultaneous descent of his life into chaos and his daughter’s trek through the teenage years. He covers the changes in his daughter’s relationships to her family and friends, her seeming loss of sanity, and her physical changes and disturbing interest in boys. The story is covered in hilarious detail, as many aspects of life in general (and life with a teenage girl in particular) are covered, and lampooned.
I must admit that I found this book somewhat disturbing. My eleven-year-old daughter and I have been reading some American Girls books together, and the thought that this loving flower will soon turn into a teenager has my blood running cold!
But seriously, this book is a hilarious, tongue-in-cheek look at the experiences of a father of a teenage girl: what he experiences, what he feels, and how he (unsuccessfully) tries to deal with it all. It is a must-read for any father of a present or future teenager. I highly enjoyed this laugh-out-loud book, and highly recommend it to you.

|I Loved This Book,
I’m 14, and I bought this book as an early Father’s day present for my dad. I flipped through it, and began reading it. I got hooked because Mr. Cameron is such a fantastic writer. His viewpoints are extremely funny, and interesting, because I know that my dad has felt the exact same way sometimes. This book would make a fabulous Father’s day/Birthday present for any dad. Just make sure they don’t take everything literally! 😉

|This book is great!,
I loved this book. My uncle who bought this book so he can better understand his daughter who is of my age, showed this book to me and asked me what I thought of it. Because my cousin is much more a rebel than me, I of course sided with the dad in the “arguments” that took place in the book. If you are a father out there that doesn’t quite understand your daughter, this would be a good book for you to try. It gives tips, do and don’ts, and the most important how to handle certain situations as smoothly as possible. This book is not just like that, but it’s very funny as well. If I could say one thing to Bruce, it’d be GREAT JOB! From a 16yr old.
