Search - Wishin' and Hopin': A Christmas Story

I am sorry that I cannot post this book as I read a library copy of it. I had never read anything from this author but had heard good things about him and love to read Christmas stories. This one had me laughing from the start to the finish. The charactors reminded me of the times when I grew up which was fun, but the author has a way of bringing everything together in a fun and inspiring way. You will not find this a traditional Christmas book type read, so do not feel cheated in the beginning, just keep reading. Take a chance on this one and ENJOY!

I absolutely loved this book!! The characters popped off the page and made me laugh throughout the book. Wally Lamb has a unique gift for storytelling that makes his characters so rich and life like. I'm looking forwad to reading it again with my bookclub!

bookclub book, wally lamb is one of my favorite authors, so hands down-- loved it, and if you are catholic hysterical!

What a charming read! Had me laughing out loud!

Anyone who experienced parochial school in the 60s, 70s (myself included) will laugh out loud at many events in this book. This was an enjoyable, fun read. I finished it in one day - highly recommend it!
