[Raymond · Rating 3 out of 5]

An easy lazy afternoon read. I finished the book in about 4 hours.

Did not learn amything new about Bill Cosby, except that he's not quite the laid back personality his characters have displayed. His passion for education is noteworthy, and he can express some displeasure with idiotic reporters and foolish critics.

The most admirable thing about Dr. Cosby Ph.D is that he has stayed true to his principles.

Difficult to read at first as it read like a bad research paper. But once Bill grew up I thought this was really interesting. I didn't know the difficulty Coz went through. I also enjoyed reading the bits of routines that I still know by heart.
