Title: A cheery stocking stuffer
Review: Here's a light entertainment that can be quickly read and enjoyed in two or three sittings, perhaps while you defiantly sip egg nog. By now, you've probably heard about the plot. A couple astonishs and angers their friends when they declare that they are skipping all the shopping, decorating and other chores associated with Christmas. The narrative is not as well written or plotted as Grisham's better known and deservedly more appreciated suspense novels. Yet it's a clever story, with some homespun insight into how neighborhood pride can run amok. The humor is more situational than witty, occasionally relying on slapstick. But the ending wraps it all up into a pleasant enough package.
