1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, April 16, 2009

By

This review is from: Eight Little Faces (Hardcover)

This book is not worth the money. The first book Multiple Blessings told a story. This book is basically about 40 pictures of the kids a few bible quotes and the rest is all about Kate (the author). The pictures are the same ones I have seen of the kids on the website/show so nothing new to see, the few words (that are not bible quotes) by Kate seemed kind of fake to me. I have watched the show (I like the early season better) and some of her quotes don't seem like the Kate we see on tv.
Overall for cost it is not worth it, even if you are a fan or you enjoyed her first book multiple blessings (which again was much more substantial and worth the money).

1.0 out of 5 stars Puzzled..., April 17, 2009

This review is from: Eight Little Faces (Hardcover)

The book was on the aisle in Target so I stood there and read the entire thing in about ten minutes. I just planned to glance at the book, but before I knew it I had turned the last page. It is a small book with little content and interested readers should at least take a look at it in person before buying. Further, I am puzzled as to the purpose of the book. My concerns would be greatly alleviated if on the jacket it was explained that the proceeds of the book would be put into a trust account for the children or given to charity. Any other use of the proceeds of a book filled with photographs of children too small to give their consent just seems morally wrong, particularly if the plan is to simply benefit adults - the parents and publisher.

I cannot believe someone took their family photos and scrapbooked them to make a dollar...oh yeah forgot added bible verses.
If you want to make them richer..buy this "photo album". Next up recipes you can get on the internet for free!
Shameless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
