HOME GAME An Accidental Guide to Fatherhood

Lewis recounts the daily happenings of parenting his three children—from household activities to school to vacations. It's not that they’re extraordinary or that he's some kind of superdad. It's that they’re so ordinary, so typical. Any parent can identify. Dan John Miller is well suited to the work. He varies his tone and pacing, making the narration more of a conversation than a straight reading. Miller delivers the humor naturally, without making it sound like some kind of stand-up routine. His juvenile voices sound a little cartoonish, but few narrators do carry off that bit of audio magic. In sum, Miller’s reading exactly suits the content and style of the writing.
