Questions For My Father: Finding The Man Behind Your Dad Author: Vincent Staniforth Binding: Hardcover from Atria Books/Beyond Words Editorial Review: What do you wish you had asked your dad? What did you feel the first time you cradled me in your arms? What was your proudest day as a dad? A little book that asks big questions: some serious, some playful, some risky. "I had ample opportunity to ask Dad these questions when he was alive. But it seemed that a million reasons not to do so could always be found. It was a waste of everything Dad had ever seen, done, and thought about not to hear his answers, and I regret not finding out more about him when I had the chance." This book was borne of that regret and has one underlying objective: to develop a blueprint for discovery so that children of any age can start to build a clearer, deeper picture of the man behind the word Dad. "So this is for my dad. And for all dads, past, present, and future. And for their sons and daughters. And for the simple pleasure of talking to each other."--Vincent Staniforth Avg.

• A dark ride
  At first glance I thought this was just another "quick-fix" book offering [bad] platitudes about the quest to reveal the mythical father-figure.

  I started to leaf through it and three days later I'm still excited and troubled by what "Questions" has revealed to me.

  The questions are, quite simply, stunning in their originality and form. There's stuff here I wouldn't have thought of asking in a million years.

  And then there's the narrative that is sprinkled throughout the text; a dark and troubled... more info

• Questions for My father: finding the man behind your dad
  A wonderful book to learn more about your father and yourself.
  It's also a fantastic conversation maker. Don't miss out on
  this jewel of a book.

• Asking both hard and easy questions
  This book asks both hard and easy questions. It gives the reader a chance to get to know the man with the utmost depth. Some of the questions are a little deep, but I encourage the reader to ask them all. Some of the questions may be superficial, but you might get some surprising answers. Good book. Great starting point for getting to know the man behind your dad.
