Excellent read for anyone

Non-fiction is a category with very few books I would recommend that everyone read. Usually, the topics are tied too closely to interests. I think that this is one of the few books that is actually of general interest.

Frank Gilbreth Sr. was the sort of over-the-top character you could imagine would invent a new field, and so he did. Motion study, and industrial engineering owe him a lot. His wife and he were an excellent team who innovated the way people work.

The book takes great pains to explain the factors that made their family unique, from size to father and mother. All sorts of bizarre and funny moments are recorded within. Personality of the players is excellently displayed in the various events.

If you want a peep into another era and culture, or just some humorous anecdotes, this book is excellent. If you are entering the workforce, you might find some excellent time-saving tips in there as well. This is simply one of my favorite books.

Beautiful

I read the translation of this book and longed to read the original since. It is one of the books which everyone who can read English must read. It is that book which you can open any page and start reading... over and over again. I find it fresh every time I open it and read it. Thanks to both the authors for writing it.

One of my favorites

This has been one of my favorites since I was 13. I found it in a thrift shop and nearly split my sides reading it while waiting for my mother to have her hair done. I'm many, many years older,now, and it's been through 13 moves and to Europe and back,and it's still on my bookshelf along with two sequels. Didn't bother to see the movie once I found out it had nothing to do with either the book or the first movie.
Part of it is sad, as other reviewers mention, but HELLO... it's non-fiction. Read the sequels. They continue the story. This was an amazing family that did very well.

Very entertaining book!

I enjoyed this book alot!!! It is definintly a must read! This book is nothing like the Steve Martin & Bonnie Hunt Cheaper by the dozen movie. You sympathize with the children in this book if you come from a large family. I would highly recomend reading this book!
