I Just Want You to Know: Letters to My Kids on Love, Faith, and Family

Way to go Kate!

I this this is a wonderful book, and I'm happy that Kate is going forward with her life and doing only things to benifit her kids. She is an amazing woman and shouldn't be judged on what goes on in the tabloids.

Good Book

A lovely little book about everyday life for this family. No darkness. No husband bashing. A nice little book about everyday life for a large family.

As Kate's sister recently wrote:

Let's sow seeds of LOVE, ACCEPTANCE, and KINDNESS into our world. NOT seeds of judgment no matter WHAT a person, in your opinion, has done or not done to "deserve" the criticism."

Good Book

I am astonished at all the bad reviews which are mostly written by people who have decided they do not like Kate Gosselin, though they do not know her, I thought the book was redundant of the events that occurred on the show, and a little boring because of that but by no means was it a bad book. I also do not know her, so I do not feel right in judging her. I do know if I were a mom with that many children and TLC offered me millions of dollars to film us going to the zoo and living life, I would jump on it. I do not feel that makes me a bad person, or would exploit my child. They do not do anything bad on the show, and the book was sweet, but a tad boring for me since I have seen all the episodes.

Kate Gosselin's "I just want you to know" is an enjoyable read, sometimes touching, sometimes sad, but more often than not, uplifting!

I really enjoyed reading this book. Kate certainly has a flair for saying and writing interesting things in a way that is compelling. I cried at a few points at her tenderness and knowing how much pain she has been through especially lately, especially reading about her lost 7th baby, which I did not know and was very sad to hear................................................................ ..............................................................................................................
She is a remarkable woman, espeically in her ability to write about Jon without showing any bitterness and even being a bit self deprecating but by now we all know why her nerves often frazzle for given an impossible task she made possible by being so anal and organized and being a task master to keep a childman in line who we saw how out of control irresponsible he became when no one was controlling him. It is good to see she does see her flaws and is working to better herself and her kids life, and admirably so, and she needs many pats on the back, more so than she gives herself credit for, for she deserves more kudos................................................................ .............................................................................................................. My only dissappointment was in a few of the letters to a few of the kids, she sounded a bit petty and anal in noting something typical of a kid that age that they did, and like giving them a dig to read when they read this and they will one day, and be brought back to that one petty thing they did that was obviously still bothering her when she wrote that page. I wish she had been able to not do that for it always bothered me in their show when they made fun almost in their complaints almost put downs of their kids foibles... and don't all kids that age have their moments, but we all a least are saved being labelled and reminded of it for all to see for the rest of our lives. But hopefully the income from the exposure at least will make the kids life more fun as Kate does indeed seem to provide above and beyond for her kids and hopefully even when the cameras aren't rolling. Bless you Kate and your kids, and we all pray for Jon that he grows up one day and is the man/father you need for your kids............................................................................................................................................................................. ............................................................................................................................................................................ p.s. And to those of you who wrote such vitriol towards this mother in your reviews, obviouly you were not reviewing the book unbiased, and you came to it with a prejudgement and hate for this woman and I feel sorry for you for that is a sick obsession to cyber stalk her like that, and she is such a better and bigger person than you all for all Jon did she still shows no hate in her words in this book to him, yet she did NOTHING TO ANY OF YOU, yet you attack her with such sick hate and worrisome mental instability. Get yourselves healthy for as you can see Kate is doing well and will only do better by herself and her kids, and you all should put your efforts into making yours and if you have kids their lives good as she does hers and her kids, and not waste your time cyber hating this good mother and woman.

Yeah i play dirty.

They say don't judge a book by it's cover right?

I was reading several reviews on this book. Come to see people commenting saying that scanned through it at the local bookstore. I just don't get how people can say such negative things about the book, if they haven't read through the entire book. I will defiantly give this book a try despite the negative reviews.

Amazing lov ashley

It showed alot of mothers that they can do any
Thing.

Great!

Kate does not have an easy life but she knows how to make the most of it. I cann not image the stress that is on her! Go kate!

Too much $

I just looked at this book on a store shelf yesterday for $5.99! Should have bought it...

Amazing.

As a mother of multiples. I have to say after not liking kare on the show this book changed mt mind. Amazing!!!!

Very Enjoyable

I have read this book twice and have enjoyed it both times. It tells of the struggles of Jon and Kate and how Kate goes through her pregnancy with many problems and concerns. Imagine how hard it would be to already have twins and then know you're have six more. I really liked this book a lot and will probably read it again someday.

Love it

I am 12 and I love reading about people's lives. So if you are like that you will love this!!!''
