Oh my thoughts on this book are varied.
It's a great take--I mean, Christmas has gone commercial and the reminder of its heart is so crucial. Readers will recognize drones, cyber attacks, etc. It's truly a 21st Century tale.
But I really hated it. Okay, so hate is a strong word. Yet for a book that promotes heart....I didn't feel as if this book has it. The writing was stiff. I wasn't engaged in the story. It felt disjointed. The write-up was more promising than the finished product itself.
There will be a place for it in the library collection. But will I add it to my own--that would be a no.
