Negative Positive
Title: compulsively readable
Review: 'Skipping Christmas' provides the experience of reading a very good novel without actually knowing it. Its length and ease make it the book I turned to for quite some time when I had nothing to read or wanted some inspiration, in 2002, and as a result I read it numerous times in the first half of last year. Although different from the typical Grisham, I believe his mark is stamped all over it, and it has confirmed that it is the author who I appreciate, and not just the genre, to a greater extent than 'A Painted House'. This christmas tale is written with great perspicacity, and although it largely focuses on the negatives of christmas, is heart-warming nonetheless.Luther is not scrooge, in my opinion, but the book does highlight how christmas loses its appeal when the youngest grow up, but paradoxically how this appeal is able to prevail despite this.Very addictive and enjoyable, and I might just go and read it now...
