review 1: If you don't have a grandpa (or grandpoppy) and want to experience what it's like, here's a book for you. Interesting, sometimes rambling stories is what you'll get. I'm torn with the use of smartphone tags at the end of each chapter; they slowed me down a bit, but the extra video tidbits from Mr. Cosby are good. Thanks Mr. Cosby (@billcosby) for another good respite between my regular reading, though I still think you're wrong about Cabbage Patch dolls -- mine are truly adorable, especially compared to dolls of today (well, except maybe American Girl dolls). ;)
review 2: I found the book to be as humorous and down to earth as you would expect from Bill Cosby, and I enjoyed it. However, as I typically read books that are more on the serious side, it was difficu... morelt for me to read through some of his "spaghetti" passages. I use the term "spaghetti" to describe conversations or writing that start in one place, move in a multitude of different directions, ends up in a completely different place, and you aren't quite sure where it started or ended or how it got there. All that said, though, I enjoyed the book and I would recommend it to someone who was looking for some light reading. I appreciate Cosby's humor because it is clean, it's relevant, and it's subject matter is stuff nearly every adult can relate to. You can't go wrong! less
