I loved the book. It's an easy read. It gives some frugal suggestions along with how to deal with 18 children. I like their calm, common-sense approach to life.

Well, we love the show on tv, so I bought the book. I think they are a really nice family and have chosen to raise their kids in a loving, closed environment. Those kids could do worse, that's for sure. I don't agree with all of their methods (blanket time, huh?) but they do have a lovely family. Compared to Octo-mom, this family clearly has the advantage!

An interesting in-depth look at the history of the Duggar family and the ideals and mindset that Jim Bob and Michelle have when raising their family. Definitely answers almost any question you might have had about the Duggars!

I am not a religious person & this book has a lot of bible quotes & talking about god in it - a lot like their show. If you can ignore that then it is an interesting book about why they have so many kids, how their family functions day to day and a little behind the scenes of their television show. I do watch their show as well just because they fascinate me how they have that many kids and how they function.
