Love and Marriage

Rating:
Summary: The funny pratfalls of falling in love and being married.
Review: Bill Cosby shares his humorous and disaster strewn search for amour as well as all the silly lessons his longtime marriage to Camille have taught him. There really isn't much `advice' he can give, as he admits, so he just shares his observations and experiences (some of which are from his comedy routines) and that, it turns out, is quite enough. A quick, sweet and very funny read.

Summary: We all can learn from the love life of Bill Cosby
Review: Bill Cosby, yet again, writes another amusing classic. Filled with amusing highlights (and lowlights) from his first dating experience until his 25 year marriage. There is enough wit in the book to make anyone who ever saw a married couple cry with laughter, yet enough wisdom to make the married, or soon to be married, think a little. As always, Cos delivers his comedic timing and insight on a barage of subjects to make everyone who reads this book laugh out loud and be glad they picked up the book

Review: Cosby's insights about "the only subject no one has ever been able to study for" are bound to provoke happy tears, constant smiles and delicious laughs on every reader. You won't be able to put this book down and, after you've read it, you'll want all your friends to read it as soon as possible. It's that good.

Summary: Love and Marriage
Review: Having recently read "Fatherhood", I had high hopes for "Love and Marriage". In "Fatherhood", some genuine parenting advice was presented. After reading the first chapter of "Love and Marriage", I was expecting similar tidbits to be present in this book. I was disappointed.

The book really falls apart after the first few chapters. These chapters give an enlightening look into the youthful period when we discover the other sex. After this analysis, the book goes into Cosby's dating disasters that rage on until he meets his wife. The remaining chapters discuss his marriage. These chapters digress into jokes about the differences between the sexes and other humor. While these diatribes are moderately entertaining, they lack the wisdom I have come to expect from Cosby.

Because the trademark wit did not accompany the wisdom, I found myself to be disappointed with this book. While I would encourage you to read the masterwork "Fatherhood", I do not have high regards for this book.

Summary: An enjoyable journey in the quest for love
Review: It took me a while to get accustomed to Cosby's writing style. His writing voice is very different from his speaking. I admit, this is my first endeavor into reading Cosby's wit, but I found it quite enjoyable. As I read more, I found it very insightful. I would definitely recommend this book.

Summary: Love and Marriage go together like and horse and carriage
Review: The late Frank Sinatra sang in his 1955 hit song of the same title,"LOVE AND MARRIAGE go together like a horse and carriage." In this book the Doctor Of Comedy tells about romance and his personal romantic non-sexual experiences. One of them is his 1964 wedding to Camille Olivia Hanks in Olney,Maryland. Bill and Camille Cosby are still husband and wife today. Sorry,there is no mention of the marriage of Dr. Heathcliff and Clair Hanks Huxtable(Cosby and Phylicia Rashad on NBC's The Cosby Show). The Cosbys have adult children who have married themselves(not all of them). Take note of Cosby surrounded by dozens of beautiful red roses on the cover. Hey,who knows more about LOVE AND MARRIAGE than the college-educated Cosby? Many people who read this book also read TIME FLIES and FATHERHOOD.
