Good effort but did nothing for me.
Having just had my hip replaced one week ago I thought this book was too silly. An 80 year old in rehab might get a kick out it's attempt at humor but a 40 year old with a wife and 3 children trying to make it on disability needs alittle more insight on the real life mental aspects of hip replacement surgery. Paul's description of his days in the hospital were accurate but over dramatized. I believe a woman giving birth has it tougher that a hip replacement patient. But on the plus side reading this book may have inspired me to write my own book.

Informative and funny
Finding simularities between the book and my own experiences gave me a smile to my face more than once. Why live with the pain as I had both of mine replaced as soon as I could. Paul gave a lighter side to the operation and recovery. The book was, I believe, to give one persons experience with total hip replacement and was not to be the "do it yourself" type book that some wanted it to be.

VERY disapointing
I found the "yellow" pages of the book (which were the majority) to be vacuous and not humorous at all. In fact, I found much of it offensive.. The "white" pages were somewhat informative, but why write a book on this subject and say things like "but I will spare you the details of that" .... I want the details before I have the surgery !
