Started reading it 1 morning on the way to work (I ride the omnibus) and was over again impressed that every chapter began with a scripture. I love that they don't take themselves very serious just they do have their Lord very serious and give Him the credit and praise for the Godly wisdom they accept asked Him for. Coming from a redneck background I loved the book. I grew up eating whatever my grandfather was hunting at the time. He would fry chicken, squirrel, rabbit, quail all in one batch, served with white milk gravy, hot biscuits, butter and dearest. No one could fry up a batch like my Pappy. Desire something different to read... I would recommend The Duck Commander Family. ...more

What a potent family these Robertson'southward accept built. They fought through some tough times. They lived without many of the things we take for granted and survived with grace. They graduated higher, they excelled in sports, these people are more than given credit for. Willie and his wife accept us downwardly the path of their grandparents, their parents, to them and finally to their children. They all played into the cards of this story, every carte du jour being an important play. This is what family is all well-nigh. I thought it was fascinating and about so much more that red-necks and duck hunting.

I am a huge fan of Duck Dynasty. What y'all meet on the TV show is real. The Robertson family does not "put on" for anyone and that clearly comes through in this book.

In that location are so many things in the book that needed to be said.

The popularity of Duck Dynasty is skyrocketing, garnering a Wednesday-dark top two finish in all of cablevision. The volume releases in time for season two of the show in Oct 2012.

My Review:

This was a great read and I learned so much about the Robertson association that I didn't know. The men are all very well educated and no dummies when it comes to business sense. I was quite surprised to learn that Phil is a very different man today than he was in his before years when he and Miss Kay married.

The Robertson's are a very religious family and base of operations their business decisions and family decisions around God's teachings. They feel no affair if they win or lose, it's because what God has planned for them and manage to take everything in stride.

For anyone who loves to watch Duck Dynasty volition also honey to read this volume. It's packed full of data that will blow y'all abroad in a lot of places. I might just read it again so I tin remember all the things I learned virtually this talented and prosperous family. Now when I watch the show I'll take a actually good understanding of who everyone is and what makes them tick. Highly recommendable for sure!

I'm going to exercise this review broken into those same categories. (See? Fifty-fifty the subtitle is perfect and helpful!)

Faith: The Robertsons accept religion in affluence without coming across as "preachy" or self-righteous. That'due south rare, y'all! (Granted, quite a large number of Christian authors are trying to be "preachy." They're trying to convert. That's cool.) These guys have real, mean solar day-to-day, sometimes messy organized religion. They have a we-gotta-get-concern-done-son organized religion. A discipline the kids/delight in the kids faith. A family unit dinner faith. The Robertsons aren't blindly naive; they know they might be the only Christians in the board room & that they might lose a sale, only they never compromise on their faith. I respect that. With a capital R.East.S.P.E.C.T. tell me what it means to me.

Family: I really appreciated the respect and love for each other that's so obvious in this book. There's a lot of family unit history and reminiscing throughout this volume. Not all of the memories are what I'd phone call "positive," just all of the memories are tinged with beloved. Sometimes forgiveness is needed, and it's always given unconditionally. If all the world loved like the Robertsons nosotros'd be much happier! I too actually enjoyed the intergenerational relationships. The bond between Phil and his grandkids is just as strong as his bond with his sons, or his married woman or brother.

Ducks: Every chapter closes with a recipe. Not surprisingly, most of them involve duck. I'm not a hunter and not sure if I tin find duck at my local grocery shop, but I might try the (meatless) mac-northward-cheese recipe!

I got this book from my library, but it was so adept nosotros're buying a copy for our personal collection. If that's not an endorsement I don't know what is!

I love who they are...I love what they stand for...I love that they wear their religion brightly and for the globe to come across. I admittedly love it. The Goggle box prove shows them at their most zany but I have since watched many interviews with them every bit they talk about their lives and their ministry and their zany side is only one facet of who they are. I found the book and their background interesting. They always go out me wanting to know more most them. I like that.

I liked the behind-the-scenes look at the Robertson family. I liked learning more about their history and family dynamics. Their story is told from both the perspectives of Willie and Korie...it flip flops back and forth. I like Korie but I wasn't all that interested in her side of the family (who nosotros've never even seen on Duck Dynasty). I simply kept wanting to hear more than about what Willie had to say.

I loved the skillful solid family values that were expressed throughout the book, the scriptures that were shared, the celebrity given to God, and I love that they don't accept themselves so seriously. I particularly loved that they didn't gloss over the past and the problems they went through with Phil. It was brutally honest and yet the focus was on forgiveness and second chances. Beloved that!!

There aren't many influences for practiced in the media these days. I honey that the Robertsons are a wonderful spiritually based family unit and that kids (and America) are watching and reading!! There is something very refreshing well-nigh the Robertsons. I root for them and their connected success and family unity.

I'1000 sure a lot of drama got glossed over in Willie'southward re-telling of his takeover of Duck Commander, merely I recall that's in keeping with the tone of the show and the volume. 1 thing that I do have to commend this book for, which I think is missing from a lot of "how I became a success in business" stories, is that Willie and Korie don't make any effort to hibernate how much assist they got from their families their whole lives. I guess since it is in the title they couldn't actually skip that part, only a lot of these types of stories want to highlight the did-information technology-on-my-own aspect of running a pocket-sized business. I don't think it makes this story any less a success story because they admit they got communication, loans, and jobs from their family unit in order to make the concern grow. ...more

The volume is not a classic and is total of self-congratulation and repetitive dictum. It'southward apparent that a tape recorder and a ghost author put the book together. Name dropping is rampant, as is the trend to downplay the seriousness of certain transgressions. But the tone is pleasant and the theme is important: In order to get to a safety place in life, get along with others and class stiff bonds.

I can't give the book itself five stars based on writing merit. All I can say is that I liked it. The Robertson family, though, is certainly all-star and deserves admiration for its accomplishments.

It begins from both Willie and Korie's childhood and continues until present solar day. The Robertson family has certainly had it'due south off-white share of ups and downs. I really enjoyed hearing most their adventurous ancestry. Because audacious they were!

When hunting is more than a sport, when shooting that duck means you'll take meat for supper tonight and missing means you won't, you get pretty proficient at it. And these Robertson boys are hunters in every sense of the discussion. I don't recall there's a single brute they oasis't shot or eaten. It's quite manifestly in their claret and they can't imagine life without it. Not being a hunter myself, I could still understand the need to take food on the table and if you tin can accept fun while getting it there, and then all the amend. ;) Willie and Korie aren't afraid to talk nearly the struggles they've had and the mistakes they've made either, yet the obvious love and respect they accept for Phil and Kay shone through every discussion. The Robertson'southward are a family that turn down to stop dreaming and still keep each other grounded at the same time. Life wasn't ever easy for them, especially in the early days, but it'due south a testament to Phil and Kay that their family has stuck together no thing what.

Listening to Willie and Korie talk about their lives made me experience like I was right there involved and part of the family. That was definitely the fun part of them reading their own story for the audiobook. Plus hearing their southern accents made me feel like I was dorsum dwelling again! :D The downside though, is they tend to audio monotone sometimes. The book could have used a niggling tighter editing too. There were several moments that felt inclement and some repetitiveness that could take been eliminated. And while I practice believe that their faith in God is a big office of their life (and I'm admittedly thrilled that they desire to talk about it!), they repeatedly mentioned it so often that it started feeling slightly forced by the end of the volume. Similar they felt they had to add it in there to entreatment to a certain audition or something.

Simply don't permit that discourage y'all. While it's non perfect, this was easily a fun manner to be entertained. Life is never wearisome down in Louisiana! And you become to hear all about the family with the beards and the duck calls. ;) Sharing their hearts as well equally lots of recipes and funny stories, they make yous feel like you could pull into their driveway unexpectedly and they'd immediately open their doors and invite you in. And then they wouldn't permit yous get out until y'all'd been thoroughly filled with Kay's or Willie's cooking and with loads of stories filling your head. A happy thought indeed. :)

Whether it is about duck wraps or fried fish, the food encompasses everything in the chapter perfectly; not to mention, there is a recipe to get with each chapter! A key bespeak of this book for me was the 2nd viewpoint of Korie Robertson, the wife of Willie. Ordinarily in one's biography, information technology contains their viewpoints and thoughts merely; however, in this book, Korie oft times chimes in to voice her viewpoints too. With this new way of seeing things, we don't just come across Willie's side of the story, we encounter Korie's perspective too. It added a whole other aspect to the book that I actually enjoyed. We also hear about Willy'south other brother who is not on the testify, and how all the Robertson kids were raised. The stories of their youth seem improbable, and often times they had piddling to no supervision. Willie fifty-fifty said that the things they did as kids, "would brand me cringe as a parent today."

Okay, so information technology is non almost thrilling prose in the world, and I read the unabridged book in just a tad under 4 hours, but I take to admit I enjoyed every minute of it. I know these folks, intimately, oh not the actual people in the Robertson family every bit shown on Duck Dynasty, but my husband's parents, his sisters, his brother, his aunts, uncles and the whole passel of "twice related on your mama's side" relatives that come forth with them.

There is something infinitely comforting in reading of folks who think like my husband and I do, who have the aforementioned bones values we do, who make no outcome of working hard, paying their bills, playing difficult, making "stuff" stretch till it falls apart rather than go into debt to get "stuff." I think there is a special sense of cocky-worth that comes of successfully taking the bad and the good without having all sorts of nervous hissy fits along with it. I call back that all comes through in this book. I appreciate that they are not afraid of showing everyone how they sit down to family unit dinners, the whole extended mess of them, and offering a prayer before eating ... just like my female parent and
male parent-in- law did every unmarried year of their 70 years together:) I enjoyed that they do not listen telling the states that their family is so intimately involved in their respective churches in so many dissimilar ways. I savour seeing that kind of self confidence. Reading this story makes me oh, and then grateful, that I married into a family but like that, and for that reason lonely I would say information technology is a successful book :)

I enjoyed the down to earth story telling of Korie and Willie Robertson in this volume. They didn't cover upwards the negative parts of their lives, but told it like it is. They give all the credit to their success in life to God. They live by what they believe; they read, study, and live the teachings in the Bible. I like the parenting skills they use in their home, and the respect they have for each other in their marriage and their marriage advise, too I highlighted a lot of quotes and thoughts of Korie an Willie as I read; they are gems of wisdom. I will remember and live by a lot of the ideals they shared. ...more

Duck Commander fans will bask these easy read and learn more near the entire Robertson family also as a few of their recipes. As a fan, I did bask learning more than, the section of pictures, and the back and forth manner of writing betwixt Willie and Korie.

Equally a fan, I did savor learning more, the section of pictures, and the dorsum and forth style of writing betwixt Willie and Korie. Only while the stories were entertaining and felt more like a chat between friends than reading a book (both good things, in my opinion), I felt like tying each chapter up to fit the recipe theme made information technology feel a scrap like a drove of high schoolhouse essays. The offset few were kind of cute simply by the end of the volume, it was overkill. The only other thing I wanted to comment on is not a big one, simply felt odd. Willie usually merely calls his parents by their names and does throughout nearly of the book, until the last chapter. And so, all all of a sudden, he's using "mom" and "dad." Similar I said, a modest thing, but something that struck me. I'grand curious for the reasoning behind that. Overall, I would recommend this to fans of the show, the company, or the larger than life personalities of the Robertson family. ...more than

I loved the fact that Duck Commander Family is written from the points of view of both Willie and his wife Korie. There is definitely a difference in the mode they were both raised equally children, so to get the two perspectives enhances the reality of the book. Willie, a "redneck" country boy, was raised with a lot less money than Korie, who is a self-proclaimed urban center girl. So when the ii gather, it's fun to run into the dynamics of clashing cultures.
