'Small children are ungrateful; to do one a favour is, from a business point of view, about as shrewd as making a subprime mortgage loan'. Here, with his remorseless eye for the truth, the bestselling author of "Liar's Poker" turns his sights on his own domestic world. The result is a wickedly enjoyable cautionary tale. Lewis reveals his own unique take on fatherhood, dealing with the big issues and challenges of new-found paternity: from discovering your three-year-old loves to swear to the ethics of taking your offspring gambling at the races, from the carnage of clothing and feeding to the inevitable tantrums - of both parent and child - and the gradual realization that, despite everything, he's becoming hooked. "Home Game" is probably the most brazenly honest and entertaining book about parenting ever written.
