Title: Just plain not good
Review: I normally enjoy John Grisham's books, but I really didn't like this one at all. I'm actually surprised to see so many people liked it. The book seemed more like a sad attempt at a screenplay for the next beloved Christmas film (along the lines of National Lampoon's Christmas), but everything was so cliched and easy-to-see-coming that it would make a terrible movie. Plus, everyone cared way too much that the "Kranks" (please!) were skipping Christmas, to the point of not even being fun-fiction-believable. I would recommend skipping this book.
