5 out of 5 stars A MUST read!.......2007-04-25

This is one great book! If you are a fan of TLC's "Little People, Big World" or just want to read a good book, this is for you. I've read it two or three times and I never do that. Personally, this is one of my favorite books. The Roloff family is a very cool family.
Enjoy!!!

You've got to get this book. That being said, can I be a spotlight review too?

I think little Matt Roloff is one of the most impressive guys I've ever seen. When his trebochet (catapult) almost killed his son and farm worker, he decides to build a bigger and better one when most people would dismantle the thing and burn it, never wanting to see one again.
This is a metaphor for his life. If something is a disaster, do it over bigger and better.

I find his attitude so inspiring that I intend to never whine and complain about my physical problems again. In fact, if anything, after watching him go after everything he wants with gusto, I want to charge out into the world and make my dreams come true in spite of feeling pretty horrible physically most days.

The book is a fantastic read about Matt's life. He faced such enormous physical problems that no one could have blamed him if he ended up a couch potato, but he didn't. Look at what he's done with his life!
You've got to get this book.

5 out of 5 stars Matt Roloff RULES!.......2007-03-13

I first heard of Matt Roloff when my family got addicted to watching his family on their television show, Little People, Big World. I googled Roloff Farms and found his book of which I immediately read. I was so inspired by this man's story, I have made it an Official Pulpwood Queen Book Club Selection and his first book, Little Family, Big Values a Bonus Book Club Selection. I give it our highest honor, 5 diamonds in our Pulpwood Queen TIARA!

I actually bought this book for my wife's birthday. She is a huge fan of the show and absolutely devoured the book.

I found Matt's story very interesting. His writing style doesn't appeal to me greatly but it wasn't a grind to get through the book; some of the material is a little redundant and at times I felt a bit bored with his narrative.

If you are a fan of the show I have little doubt you'll enjoy the book. There is a lot of informational material as well as inspirational and spiritual content.

If you like Little People Big World you've got to have this book. You will understand why Matt is bigger than life and why he has become successful against all odds.
