R. Johnson (Middleburg, FL)
It was infomative to read about some of the real issues they face that every family could face and how they handled them. The recipes are great, my family loves several of them already. All our budget conscious,family friendly and fairly easy to make.

If all parents could take a look at this book & family & copy them, this would be a better world.
READ and LEARN January 6, 2009
Lucy Pleso (Coastal NC)
Being a fan of the show, I didn't think there could be more to learn about the Duggars. BUT, reading the book gave new perspective into their beliefs and how they live and learn as a super-sized family. I bought 5 copies and gave them for holiday presents!
Excellent Book January 6, 2009

The Duggars: 20 and Counting is an excellent book. I think I read the entire book in 2 sittings. It is well written and is an easy read. If you watch any of the Duggar shows on TV, this book is a must. It really answers all of the questions that you may have about the family - from how do they live debt free to the floor plan of their new house! I would recommend this book to any Duggar fan.

I've been a Duggar fan since the very first documentary aired. I'm really amazed at how well behaved and loving the kids are. Everyone seems to actually enjoy spending time together, even the teenagers. The main thing that amazes me is that Michelle never, ever raises her voice at the kids. This is an amazing thing to me since she has so many! I received the book for X-mas and read it the same day. It was a very easy read (I read quickly) and gave us some things we really didn't know. Alot of it was focused on their past businesses and how their lives have been lived so far. I was alittle disappointed in the fact that they really didn't elaborate on their way of discipline, since a correction could be so many things. But other than that, I loved the book. I think children are blessings from the Lord also and they are truly blessed. I couldn't imagine having that many kids, but they make it look so easy.
