Title: Entertaining but simplistic
Product review: I just finished reading Tidings of Great Joy, and it took me only a few hours. It is amusing and a few parts are even memorable, but it is far from flawless. The beginning is very choppy, and it only gets more interesting after the tragedy happens. There is not much character development, especially considering the minor ones. The emotions of the two main characters are flatly laid out, not with much sublety. It is highly predictable, aside from the very last scene, which, by the way, was very tacky. Nonetheless, after a long day, it can be distracting enough. If you are looking for something fast and uncomplicated, go for it.
