I'm not usually into John Grisham books, but I loved this. It was so cleverly written and funny...I couldn't put it down.

Loved this book. Not Grishams usual fare, but it was funny and shows how foolish we can be at times about Christmas. ( Christmas at the Kranks is about this book.) I could see it taking place in my neighborhood!!

IT is a fast read. Tightly written. A rare book that actually makes you laugh out loud; with a positive resolution.

I usually love Grisham stories, even the non-legal fiction (A Painted House, Playing for Pizza). This book just had a mixed up message and not very likeable characters. Was there a hero or villain? The actions of all the parties were always too extreme for the circumstances. I ended up skimming the last 20 pages looking for a conclusion so I could put it down.

Oh well, his next one will be worth it.
