About this listen
Academy Award nominee Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction) rocks this mock bedtime story, capturing a hilarious range of emotions as the voice of a father struggling to get his child to sleep.
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. California Book Award-winning author Adam Mansbach’s profane, affectionate, and radically honest verses perfectly capture the familiar - and unspoken - tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night. In the process, he opens up a conversation about parenting, granting us permission to admit our frustrations, and laugh at their absurdity. Beautiful, subversive, and pants-wettingly funny, Go the F--k to Sleep is a book for parents new, old, and expectant. Due to its explicit language, you probably should not play it for your children.
"I was anxious to do the audio read of this book because my agent has twins and he gave me the book and I read it and I fell out laughing. And I remember all those times when I did read to my daughter when she was that age and everybody tells you that reading stories will put kids to sleep, but it never works. It didn’t in my house. Actually if I picked her up and made up a story it worked a lot better. But I did say ‘Go the F--k to Sleep’ to her a lot, and I think at some point she would look at me when I would come into her room, and she would look at me and say ‘Go the F--k to Sleep, Daddy!’. And I would say ‘Yeah, go the f--k to sleep'." - Samuel L Jackson

Short and straight to the point.
Truly a bedtime story that should be told every night to restless children that won't go the fuck to sleep.

Best audible credit I’ve spent.
Like the audience of parents and fans alike that listen to this book it could not be narrated by anyone other than Samuel L Jackson. - However I was anticipating for him to throw in the phase of Ezekiel 25:17 from pulp fiction at the end if the child in the book wouldn’t sleep.

Classic
Great book and even better narration but I think every parent probably thinks their version reading the book sounds most genuine:p

Straight to the piont!
I don't think that I am a bad parent, but maybe not a good one either. I too have heard myself say this even though I have tried to keep it together. I feel so much better hearing it from another parent. It was very funny and I actually enjoyed this book/audio as it is every tired parents nightmare when you just want to sit and relax.......and well you know you just can't as your little one just won't go to sleep. Well put Adam Mansbach and excellently read by Samuel L Jackson. Fantastic.
