Review: Go The F**K To Sleep – Adam Mansbach

I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Go the F**k to Sleep by Adam Mansbach
3.5 Stars

Go the F**k to Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don't always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland. Profane, affectionate, and radically honest, California Book Award-winning author Adam Mansbach's verses perfectly capture the familiar--and unspoken--tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night. In the process, they open up a conversation about parenting, granting us permission to admit our frustrations, and laugh at their absurdity. With illustrations by Ricardo Cortes, Go the F**k to Sleep is beautiful, subversive, and pants-wettingly funny--a book for parents new, old, and expectant. You probably should not read it to your children. - Amazon

Review

I’m a big Samuel Jackson fan, so when I heard he was narrating a bedtime story named Go The F**k To Sleep I knew I had to read it. I listened to the Audible version since it was offered free to members.

I can’t say I fell out of my seat laughing, but I found it amusing. I would say this is a bedtime story for adults, because I don’t know many parents that will tell their kids out loud to GO THE F**K TO SLEEP. Even though I am aware a lot of parents may have those thoughts in their head.

  1. I would love to hear the author read it.. LOL

    I bought the book from Barnes and Noble.. my first adult bedtime story.. even though I was never read a bedtime story as a kid.. I can read myself one now.

    Thanks for commenting Mac..

  2. Samuel Jackson does an amazing job reading this book! Great delivery. I think the book is hilarious- but definitely NOT for kids- for parents or adults who have had a long day with kids! Great review!

    I found you through Book Blogs and signed up to follow you. When you have a chance- please stop by and follow the blog for my middle grade novel that I am hoping to get published. http://thesecretdmsfilesoffairdaymorrow.blogspot.com/

    Take care-
    Jess- although I may show up as Fairday, the main character from my novel. I can’t figure out why that happens and I can’t fix it. 🙂
