Title: Skip this Christmas tale!
Review: Skipping Christmas is a disappointing, boring book, and that's a lot to say from a fan of John Grisham. Its tone is grinchy, and what might have been funny comes off as simply a little dumb. The sarcastic, cynical tone is not balanced by any sense of redemption; even the gift given at the end of the story is not enough. Blair proves herself to be a selfish, thoughtless child, and the way the neighborhood comes to the family's rescue on Christmas Eve is unconvincing; Luther Krank is no match for George Bailey. Skip this one and read The Painted House instead!
