Title: Skip Skipping Christmas
Review: An uninteresting, bigoted, rich and superficial couple has the first interesting idea of their lives and this book follows their complete inability to recognize it or follow-through. I was apalled with these characters, and actually read through the entire book hoping to find out that Grisham had somehow addressed their inexcusable traits--No luck.The premise is interesting--a couple wants to forego the commercialism of christmas. If only the people were anywhere near as interesting as that idea. Its almost as if without shopping and hobnobbing they don't have anything left to do.From its gross portrayal of a 'middle-class' family who barely blinks at wasting thousands of dollars on something they'll never use, to a mother and father whose racism shows brightly on Christmas Eve, this book deserves only one place on your Christmas morning--in the fire.
