Title: Fun!
Review: I see that so many reviewers disliked this book. It is just a quick read that was laugh out loud funny. Of course it is not Grisham's usual genre- but it is a cute story that really put me in the mood for the holidays.It was funny- the descriptions of upscale stationary "boutiques" and nosy neigbors are caricatures, but very funny ones. Grisham captured modern America quite well. He satirizes the cost and lack of meaning in too many Christmasses, realy making the reader think (while laughing).The happy ending was truly heart warming not at all contrived. Yes it does seem a little like a tv movie (W/Chevy Chase) especially when Luther finds himself hanging from the roof by Christmas lights, but you need a few of those moveis every year- they make Christmas waht it is. I am glad that I ignored the negativity and read this. It was fast- two sittings and very enjoyable!
