THis is a fabulous book for non-fathers - a humourous look at life on the other side. You remember what it was like as a kid and the decisions you made "just because"! Buy it-you won't regret it!
Customer Review
Bill Cosby at his usual best provides laughter along with insight for anyone, especially fathers, of course! My husband and my father each have a copy. A fairly short read, you can open anywhere for a quick chuckle. I recommend it to all!! :)
Customer Review
Cosby applies his unique way of looking at everday situations with there inherent, funny, shortcomings to Fatherhood. However, this is not just a work of humor. Cosby makes an honest attempt at providing real advice cloaked in humor. A significant part of the book is also dedicted to the Afterward (not written by Cosby) which contains real parenting advice. Cosby covers a variety of parent situations and never fails to be humorous. Nevertheless, I only rated the book 4 stars because the humor rated only a smirk from me (maybe it's just my taste)and some of the book is starting to seem dated, but mostly because I thought the primary focus of the book was blurred between a work of humor and a work on parenting to the point where it compromised both with a lack of depth. I would also like to mention that the quality of paper used by the publisher proved a annoyance. I bought my copy in a bookstore (prior to my discovery of amazon) and the pages where warped near the s! pine. This was true of all of the copies of this book I have seen anywhere.

Cosby's observations on fatherhood are just delightful. He describes how he coped with all the surprises that come with the birth of a child. Moreover, he does it with such honesty and love that readers who have the good fortune of already been parents will identify immediatly and those who don't have kids may have the will to do it as soon as possible. Wonderful.
