This is the second Fowl Language book I have read and I still laughed at many of the jokes because I could identify with them. This book was a little different as after the joke, there was another panel that wasn't as funny, so I enjoyed the other one much better. I did see myself and my children on many of these pages and love that my son is going through this now with his own children. The fact that the characters are ducks makes it just a little cuter. I think the funniest pages for me were the meal one and the healthy snack one. I could hear those words coming out of my mouth. There is also mention of social media which is so prevalent in our society. A cute book for soon to be parents or for those fearing empty nest syndrome.

This comic always manages to crack me up, and I'm not even a parent!

I don't recommend trying to eat while reading this book as you are going to make a mess from laughing so hard and I do speak from personal experience! All I can say is that someone has clearly been spying on my family and those two ducklings are absolutely my kids. If we cannot laugh at the insanity that is parenting then all that is left is to cry and laughing is so much more fun.

I found a few of these comics funny or amusing, but mostly I didn't really enjoy the book. The author spends some of the time talking about how children are the greatest thing ever, but most of it treating his kids as annoyances rather than people. I guess it's just not my sense of humour.

A funny little book about the struggles of parenting. And, yes, it does use foul language throughout. Light read, recommended for new parents.

I received an advanced copy of Fowl Language: The Struggle is Real from Net Galley in exchange for a fair and honest review.
I’ve always been a huge fan of Brian Gordon and his sense of humor, so it came as no surprise to me that I enjoyed Fowl Language: the Struggle is Real. It’s a quick and fun read, and for those of you that haven’t been following him before now, I highly suggest you look up his webcomic (which is where the comics in the novel pull from).
Gordon has a knack for making his comics endearing and relatable – even to people who have not been in the circumstances he’s talking about. For example, I’m not a parent but I greatly enjoy his parent series, as it’s hard to miss the human elements he uses to tie everything together. I’m sure parents also find his work hilarious, likely shouting “me too!” or “been there!” at particularly whimsical moments.

This is a fun look at parenthood told by a family of ducks. While it looks cute a fluffy, it's really, funny, and contains a bit of foul (hehe) language. It's full of chuckles, and things so true you can't help but laugh.

I do not have kids and found myself hysterically laughing aloud at all of the strips compiled in this collection. Embarrassed, I finally had to show them to the people next to me with tears streaming down my eyes. I shared a handful of panels with my friends who are parents and they wholeheartedly related with them as well. I highly recommend this one to everyone, whether or not you are or have been a parent, I guarantee you've known these people.

Fowl Language: The Struggle Is Real follows a duck parent and shows scenes from his life raising his kids and the struggle of doing so. Brian Gordon, the author and illustrator, did a really great job illustrating the book. The ducks actually looked like ducks, not lopsided bird things. The comics in this were funny, and they had me laughing hysterically quite a few times. I think this book works for both parents and children (though the former group always is included in the latter). This fits with my image of what parenting will be like. My favourite comic was the one discussing baby-proofing (hint: best way is to become a monk).

Fowl Language is truth in a comical form, allowing those with children to laugh at themselves, their children, and their situation.
Brian Gordon looks at both the bad and the good sides of parenting allowing parents of any kind to connect with his ducks and understand the feelings of these fowls. Each comic hits home with truth but like life, you must laugh so you don't cry. Gordon brings out the laugh instead of the cry.
A fun collection, Fowl Language: The Struggle is Real is a perfect gif for your weary parent friend.

A very real look at parenting through a humorous lens. Fowl Language is full of funny and loving moments, something every parent can relate to. Gordon hits up all sides of parenting, and isn't afraid to tackle the tough subjects either. I highly recommend this book!

Love the web cartoons, this was very similar and equally enjoyable.

Overall a pretty funny collection of comics. As a new father, I definitely relate to the baby-related comics and still could enjoy the ones about children as well. Some jokes definitely landed better than others, but as a whole I laughed or smiled throughout. Definitely enjoyable and worth picking up, especially for readers with babies or young children.

This is truly a funny adult comic, what with all the fowl language and all, I get what the author is saying and I have to agree with them it’s a novel way to look at the things we have said and done at one time or another. I would love to say the fowl language could have been omitted but I don’t want to be a hypocrite here, let's be reasonable we have all at one time used such language in the same situations or like before we came to our senses. So folks let's have a laugh about our past antics if you dare to brave the fowl language, it’s truly a funny comic book, so read without remorse it's just pure fun with a sharp learning curve that opens our eyes to the facts.

I see these comics on Facebook often but I've never seen so many altogether. As a parent of a two year old I can totally relate to many of these. I think my favourites were "What small children are like when they're a little tired" & the baby monitor making your child look like something scary.
I did think the author could tone down the profanity as I did find it excessive at times.
All in all a very fun, quick read.

I don't have kids myself, and thanks to this book I will never even think about sex in my life.

Granted, you do not have to buy this book. You could just go to the <a href="http://www.fowllanguagecomics.com" target="_blank">Fowl Language</a> online. But if you go there, and find yourself chuckling at the comics, then you should go buy this collection.

If you have been a a parent of young kids, and if you remember what it was like, if your kids are long grown, you will find this series funny. This is light humor about the bumps along the road, of raising kids. This, like <a href="http://www.lunar-baboon.com" target="_blank">Lunarbaboon</a>, these little bits of parenting are from the male, father point of view, which gives it a little spin we don't usually get with parenting cartoons.

This is the second collection of his strips, and just as funny a the first one.

Thanks to Netgalley making this book available for an honest review.

Parents of all stages and ages will laugh out loud as they instantly connect to this hilarious comic collection, Fowl Language: The Struggle Is Real. The illustrations are simplistic, yet the humor is perfectly on point and relatable. Fowl Language gets its name because the characters in the sketches are drawn as ducks. Of course, those familiar with Gordon's work will also recognize it as part of the author's schtick. It's a pun or a play on words as well because Gordon often times expresses himself in words with bite, aka foul language. And while this may not bother some readers, it doesn't really add anything to the overall humor. Meanwhile, for some, it may actually detract from it. This reader, however, appreciated how each comic truly captured the moments of parenthood, the ones that aren't so picture perfect and make you want to bash your head against a wall. It's this true to life, I'm am not alone, portrayal that promises to leave you nodding your head and grinning ear to ear.

Thanks a bunch to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for providing me with an early copy of this brilliant book for review. Now, everyone go buy a copy as soon as it hits your local bookstore's shelf!

Oh my gosh! As a non parent I absolutely love these comics. They are hilarious, and sometimes really sweet. And make me remember why I don't have children.

Like many of the other comic artists that I have read lately, I first discovered Brian Gordon on Instagram. The work is great, combining the ups and downs of parenting with well-drawn comics that just get it. Though not a parent myself, I've experience quite a few of these instances with children, and they are spot on. A fun book to read as a parent or to buy as a gift for parents who are in the middle of all the crazy things life with children brings.
