Book Reviews of Fatherhood

Book Review: "Strong Families Raise Strong, Healthy Children"
Summary: 5 Stars

Bill Cosby's humor avoids the profanity laced tirades of many contemporary comics. While maintaining a focus on the value of the family, Cosby discusses the role of a father as an often neglected role in the family. In this book, I could see my father behaving in many of the ways Cosby describes. The students I have today are also no different than the way he describes his children's school expereinces. On this note, my favorite quote in the book has to do with his son not failing English so much as failing to hand in his assignments. It is no wonder this book has sold so many copies. Cosby's wit and insight had me laughing out loud several times.

While the foreword and afterword by Alvin F. Poussaint seems a bit obvious to me, it may not seem so basic to all readers. Poussaint strips Cosby humor down to give it a scientific basis. Poussaint supports the points made by Cosby. He is effective in making a point in concise terms.

This is probably the best book I have read by a stand-up comedian. I give Cosby the distinction as a stand-up comic because some the material in this book was in the "Himself" video. Despite being labeled as humor/comedy, the book has valuable insight for fathers and parents in general. Truly, this is a valuable book.
