I Didn't Ask to Be Born (But I'm Glad I Was)

Few entertainers have achieved the legendary status of William Henry “Bill” Cosby, Jr. His success spans five decades and virtually all media-remarkable accomplishments for a kid who emerged from humble beginnings in a Philly housing project. Now the world’s most beloved funnyman is back with his first humor book since the bestselling Cosbyology. In this hilarious new collection of observations, Cosby brings us more of his wonderful, wacky insights into the human condition, holding forth on everything from a game show contestant’s confusing origins to a grandchild with a Godzilla infatuation, to his first love Bernadette, and many more delightful digressions. Bill Cosby may not have asked to be born, but we’re sure glad he was!

I didn't ask to be born
December 29, 2012

This would be funny if hearing it from him...his expressions etc., but it did not translate into a book. I found it hard to read and follow.

Reviewer: Susan

If you want to boost your mood this is a great book....I grew up with Bill Cosby and just when I thought life has done it to me again ...He would somehow make me laugh..If for no other reason order this book to get you through the hard times

Love Bill Cosby, but he (like too many others who've written books lately) seems to be just getting something out to have a book out. There's not a lot of substance for the price of the book, more a rehash of comedy routines. I want to learn about the life of the person I'm reading about, what they think, things they've done. This is just a random, stream-of-consciousness sort-of conversation. I was disappointed. Sorry, Bill!
