Phil Robertson for President!May 12, 2013
I am a fan of this family and their show and what they believe and stand for so I was super excited to read this book that I had recieved as a Mother's Day gift. Here goes my review:May 09, 2013
Not a lot of new information, if you read Willie and Korie's book, and watch the show. I recommend their book over this one. It's more compelling, and there is not as much repeating what you've seen on the show.Jul 13, 2013
I enjoy the interaction among the family members on TV's Duck Dynasty and laugh at Jase's comments as he constantly gives brother (and company CEO) Willie a hard time. I also appreciate Phil's role as the wise, soft-spoken patriarch. Each show ends with a large family dinner and a prayer.Jul 04, 2013
I wasn't expecting to like this book as much as I did, considering Phil Robertson's political beliefs are on the opposite end of the spectrum from mine. But, at least in this memoir, he comes across as sincere and believable, and I got a glimpse into a way of life I knew nothing about. I've never watched the "Duck Dynasty" shows (if that's what they are called), and being an American living in Europe, I'm always curious about various cultural phenomena happening back "home."

His descriptions of what it was like growing up in the small-town South, and his family being relatively poor but self-sufficient, were matter-of-fact and fascinating, at least to this suburban girl from the Northeast. I learned some things about my own country, and, if the end of the book veers into proselytizing for evangelical Christianity and justifying his views on where the U.S. has gone wrong, he is only being true to his beliefs, and at a certain level, I have to respect that. I don't have to like his viewpoints, but he does explain how those beliefs were formed, and that always helps in understanding. An interesting read. ...moreFeb 10, 2017
A real life version of the rags to riches stories. Phil Robertson fought through poverty, family alcohol and drug abuse, and now owns a multi million dollar business. from the first duck call in 1972.Jan 02, 2014
I haven't really watched much of Duck Dynasty because I'm an animal lover and my family warned me about all the snake shooting, duck shooting, squirrel shooting action going on -- but watching my family get hooked on the show and its characters has made me interested in the Robertsons as a family. So I borrowed this book from my dad and read through it.Feb 13, 2013
What a great book - started watching the show last year. This family has the values worthy of passing on!Nov 21, 2013
My husband and I enjoy watching Duck Dynasty, one of the few shows I watch. And, I love how they end each show with a family meal and a prayer. But, I learned so much about this family through Happy, Happy, Happy. Not just about their past, but also about their faith.May 31, 2013

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. I defiantly liked this book, although it wasn't as good as si-cology it was overall still a book that i was interested in. I liked how he talks about the different moments in his life, like how he was drinking a lot, and was doing drugs, and how he just turned to god to turn his life. There is something that some people might not like about this book. That would be the amount of the book that references the bible, and or Christianity. Overall good book.Dec 01, 2013
I love watching Duck Dynasty so reading this book for me was a must. I just find the lifestyle of the Robertson family so interesting and fascinating. In this book Phil tells about his early years and what it was like for him and his family when he was growing up. He grew up with not much at all and could have gone to the NFL. When reading this book I felt like Phil was my real grandpa and I was gathered around him with my siblings and he was sitting in a chair telling us stories from when he I love watching Duck Dynasty so reading this book for me was a must.

I felt as though he was really telling these stories to me, I wasn't just reading about them. Phil uses really good voice in his book, which had me hooked from the beginning of the book. I think that my watching the show helps with the aspect of this craft because I know how he talks, so I think that helps me hear his voice more so than if I was someone who didn't watch the show. I would share part of this book with my class and then share a clip from the show and have students compare the voice that the heard in the text compared to Phil's actual voice. ...moreJun 25, 2013
A quite enjoyable book. Robertson is an interesting character from the few episodes I've seen of Duck Dynasty. His back story is so much different than my own, yet we are brothers in Christ and share the same faith. There is much I admire about the man.Oct 17, 2013

I must say I am a fan of Duck Dynasty. I know it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I thoroughly enjoy the television show. When I found out that Phil Robertson had a memoir I just had to get my hands on it. I’m very interested in the history of the family and to find out more about their grassroots background and how they moved forward and accomplished the American dream. And they did accomplish it–truly.Oct 08, 2013
Sometimes the greatest lessons I learn about life come from reading people's autobiographies. In it, I glean information about a life that is uniquely different from my own and along the way take back something inevitably life changing. I think it's vital that at some point in everyone's life, you read biographies. It opens your eyes to possibilities you never thought possible until you finish the final page.Jul 05, 2013
Faith, family, and ducks—in that order, as Phil Robertson will tell you—marks the hierarchy of the Robertson clan. The Robertsons have achieved fame and fortune due to their superior duck calls and, more recently, their hit television show on A&E, “Duck Dynasty,†but like most multi-million dollar success stories, the road has not always been easy. “Happy, Happy, Happy: My Life and Legacy as the Duck Commander†is the candid autobiographical account of Phil Robertson’s journey through life.

The native Louisianan’s humble beginnings molded him into a self-reliant, self-sufficient man who was comfortable and capable of living off the land—skills that proved invaluable later on in life. Phil went through a rebellious outlaw phase as a young man, and after hitting rock bottom, at age twenty-eight he dedicated his life to the Lord and became a born-again Christian, turning his life around and becoming a better husband to his wife, Kay, and to his four sons, Alan, Jase, Willie, and Jep. In the 1970s he decided to pursue his dream of making a living via his hunting and outdoor expertise, which led him to creating duck calls that surpassed those on the market in their accurate imitations. Through the American tradition of hard work and perseverance, he eventually built Duck Commander into an empire, later turning the company over to his son, Willie. “Duck Dynasty†chronicles the daily life of the Robertson clan today, complete with humor, values, inspiration, and the redneck lifestyle—providing a glance at a truly American family.Oct 25, 2013
1. Many of the same stories were in Willie and Korie's book, The Duck Commander Family, but I didn't care. I also read a lot of the passages in Phil's voice. It was funnier that way.Oct 02, 2013
Just makes you happy, happy, happy reading it!May 15, 2013
I'm not afraid to admit that I am a huge Duck Dynasty fan. The guys are funny, the family is not dysfunctional, the family table is there at the end - so much better than all the dysfunctional reality tv out there.

This is a man of strong, fundamental religous beliefs which have guided his life for the past 40 plus years. His family supports these beliefs and it is apparent in watching the program that they may have their differences but family and their belief in God is all important to them. And they are fun to watch - these guys have a terrific sense of humor. This may not be a book everyone would enjoy but thanks Phil Robertson for telling it like it is.May 08, 2013
Phil Robertson eloquently describes the joy of living simply, loving unconditionally, and serving humbly. Though probably not the purpose of the book, I was convicted of my own shortcoming with my family and my faith. This book delivered on detail. Anyone who has seen the popular television show will hear Phil's voice telling this powerful story of redemption and grace.Apr 26, 2018
I miss watching Duck Dynasty, but this was the next best thing. it made me laugh loudly and it made me cry at one point.Jun 24, 2013
Phil Robinson is a rugged outdoorsy kind of guy, sold out to the Lord after years of giving into sinful desires of the flesh. He has raised his family the way he was raised, in the woods, hunting, fishing, making a way of life that could sustain them.

I read Willie Robertson's book a week prior to reading this one. I must admit I enjoyed Willie's book more, however that could be because we're around the same age.Jun 19, 2013
This is a wonderful book. Phil Robertson's story is inspiring and sincere. He's traveled a journey that is common to many, but what he's made of it is extraordinary. Some folks scoff at the Duck Dynasty reality-tv show, put off by the beards and the cammo, or by the simple ways, or by the guns and prayer. Yet this man has made a family that any American would be proud of. Tell me, is there another show on television, now or at any time that ends each episode with the family meal and a prayer to This is a wonderful book. Phil Robertson's story is inspiring and sincere.

Phil speaks openly of his early struggles with responsibility, drugs, alcohol and authority. Through the love of a good woman, he has become the epitome of the godly man. He is humble in his love for the Lord, and speaks openly and passionately about his obedience to God. He says, "It's been a blast following Jesus!" ...moreTake your time and choose the perfect book.
