Counting the Cost by Jill Duggar
4.0
dark emotional informative reflective sad fast-paced

 Jill Duggar is the fourth child out of nineteen children born to Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. Jill was born in 1991 in Arkansas. She began being filmed in 2004, when the family was filmed for a documentary special called 14 Children And Pregnant Again. In 2008, the family was picked up for a regular series show, called 19 Kids And Counting. Her parents insisted that filming this show would be a good way to spread their religious message, though I am inclined to believe it was simply a cash cow for that Jim Bob Duggar. Jill married Derrick Dillard in 2014, after being set up by Jim Bob. The two have three children together. This is also not going to be like a normal review that I write, so if you follow me, sorry for you. If you do not wish to read what I am about to write, you can simply read this: If you are interested in this show and the people on it, read the book. If you are interested in what kind of scum buckets are in this family, read the book. If that didn't do it for you and you would like to hear the rest of what I think, read the bottom:

** I have to admit that I was a regular watcher of 19 Kids And Counting, mostly because I was interested in the kids, and thought the lifestyle was interesting. I have always been interested in cults, and this entire concept of IBLP and Quiverfull were new to me. I find both the IBLP and the concept of Quiverfull repulsive.

**Jim Bob Duggar is a disgusting human being. He is manipulative, abusive, and negligent. He allowed nonsense and shenanagins to go on in his own house, valuing his disgusting cretin of a son over his daughters. He held money over their heads, and swindled them. I have never liked him, from the moment I began watching this show, and my dislike has been validated many times over the years. This book is just the most recent validation.

**I have to admit that I did not care for Derrick when he was introduced on the show, but I take back my opinion on him. He seems to be a good husband to Jill, and a wonderful support system. I truly believe without him, she would still be taken advantage of by her father.

**That brother of hers is scummy. He sexually assaulted multiple of his own siblings, people outside the home, cheated on his wife, and then got busted with unspeakable amounts of child pornography. I think it is deplorable that her family chose to cover up his misdeeds and baby him, instead of standing up for and advocating for their children he abused. I also think it is deplorable that these girls had to go sit on a Fox (of course) show and rehash this experience, answer questions about it, and defend this scum bucket while he sat there and watched them. Absolutely not. I have always hated these gossip sites, especially TMZ, and the one that leaked the information about her and her sisters' assaults is right up there on the scum bucket list with Josh and Jim Bob and Michelle. Sickening.
