This is a really great book that I recommend every young person to read. The author is a young man from Taiwan. His dream was to become a real soldier. In a bid to pursue his dream, he joined the French Legion in the age of 19. He didn't know much French language. He also didn't know much about the Legion before he joined. But he overcame everything and completed a full tenure. The book composes of different episodes of his training and experience. Albeit a book about being a solider, the author is in fact a sentimental person. In between his training, there was romance with a Japanese girl whom he briefly met at a French course. He depicted the romance and his story in a delicate way. The book is inspiring in the sense of pursuing your dream and overcoming challenges. The training he had was intimidating and inhumane. The deployment was dangerous and life-threatening. With faith, he completed them safely. This young man has my respect and it is a book I highly recommend to young people.

最初買此書的原因，主要是因為支持朋友，「毒男夫婦」是多年好友，十多年來見證他們拍拖，結婚，生孩子，亦不時分享了他們的育兒的快樂及困難。 但看完這本書後，覺得它是一個很值得新手父母吸取「毒爸」的育兒經驗的平台。作者有很高的聯想及描繪能力，輕鬆有趣地分享他8年來的育兒經歷。在他描述一件件的經歷，完全感受他對家庭的愛，在此時的香港，及全球在疫情的陰霾下，絶對是一鼓清泉。 這本書值得推介，是因為「毒爸」很成功地將一些育兒生活中可能大家覺得平平無奇的軼事，又或者一些極艱難的經歷，描繪成一場場很生動有趣的場面。而我多年前亦經歷過同樣的艱難時刻，如「健康難求」一章護士幫細佬插入導管吊鹽水，我也親身經歷過，所以看這書時亦喚起不少暖心的回憶。經歷過這些事情的父母，看完一定會發出會心微笑，未經歷過的父母，亦可從此書取經，作出準備。 最後，想跟「毒爸」説：其實毒男此名是一個misnomer: 「第二胎的感謝信」便是很好的證明。讀完這章，真覺得十分感動，毒男其實是個超級曖男： 毒男老婆：小心毒男因此書惹來狂風浪碟！
