Skipping Christmas by John Grisham
3.0
Short and cute.
Since I saw "Christmas with the Kranks" years ago and many times over, it was hard not comparing this book to the movie. The book can be read in about an hour. It seemed like the minimal amount of storytelling happened here . . . just enough to tell the story without expounding on anything. It was pleasant but I couldn't get into it the way I prefer. I like to get engrossed in my reading. This almost read like an advertisement for a bigger novel. Nothing wrong with it, just not much to it.
