Bill Cosby, "Time Flies"
After reading approximately the first half of this autobiography, I am surprised that it has not quite met my expectations. Don't get me wrong, Bill is still entertaining although he is very repetitive. As the title describes, this piece is all about aging, and what effect the years have on one's body and mind. So far, I have read one hundred pages all about his muffin top, trifocals and deteriorating mind. I appreciate the self humor he is driving at, but like I said, I expect more out of Bill Cosby. I look forward to finishing this piece in hopes that he will touch on his classic stand up skits that he is so famous for, but it is already clear that he is writing as a common man who is simply aging. His attitude is that he does not want to be seen as a celebrity, so I feel my expectations will be let down. However, this is a true autobiography, and it is showing the man who Bill Cosby truly is.
