Negative Positive
Title: Absolutely dreadful!
Review: Either John Grisham has taken leave of his senses or since writing his nunerous best sellers, this is what he now imagines "the little people do" at Christmas time.The title captured my attention as I try to "skip" Christmas every year (with varying success). The characters are hollow and unpleasant with very little to say. There seems to be very little Christmas spirit and far too much oneupmanship. But the most upsetting part of this sad tale is the totally dysfunctional relationship the Kranks have with their absent daughter. If my relationship with my grown children were as empty as the Kranks is with their daughter,Blair, I guess I too would see the "charm" that some of the other reviewers have referred to. I found no charm.A total waste of time and money and i begrudgingly award this one star although had no stars been an option that's what Skipping Christmas would get from this very dissatisfied reader.
