A review by daphelba
Love and Marriage by Bill Cosby
3.0
The first half of the book on "Love" was very repetitive as I am sure is the case in real life. We think we're in love like we've never been, "this guys the one", when we are 14, then 15, then 16, and 17. In fact, when you're that young, you might fall in love with someone new every couple of weeks. Life and infatuations feel so looong when you're young. Anyway, after reading the first couple of chapters, I felt like I'd gotten the gist. I skipped to the last chapter of the section, the one where he meets Camille and then devoured the section on marriage.
I know couples bicker, we see it in family and friends, in movies and on television...but the way Cosby worded it all really hit home. He and his wife certainly had their fair share of disagreements that at times could get downright nasty, but they have a very strong love. Just because they don't understand each other, they stick it out, and they grow together, because underneath the frustration is a deep respect and admiration for one another.
It was very funny and very inspiring. Much better than his more recent book which I rated two stars: "I didn't ask to be born".
