Review: Surprised with the depth of character for this laid-back guy...
Rating: 5 out of 5

This book brought up a point about the Duck Dynasty family that I hadn’t thought of – the fact that a family-owned and operated business doesn’t have to go down in flames because of in-fighting, greed, and irresponsible behavior.  While I imagine some of the silliness is magnified because of its entertainment value for the show, clearly these characters are just as unique in real life, and Jase Robertson is no different.  I found it really funny to learn that Jase is named after Uncle Si as his middle name is Silas…and clearly, he echoes a lot of his zany uncle’s goofy spirit.  I loved learning that this Robertson brother is more focused on the family’s spiritual life than their financial life which helps round out the general picture of the family as a whole.  I was also surprised to learn that Jase never experimented with alcohol and drugs.  He had clearly seen enough growing up with an alcoholic father that he knew it wasn’t anything he wanted for his own life.  Jase is one of quietest brothers and a little bit in the background a lot of the time, but this book shows a really neat depth to his character that isn’t always seen during the craziness of their Duck Dynasty lives.
