What readers think of Skipping Christmas, plus links to write your own review.

This book was not up to par with what I expected from John Grisham. If you are looking for an easy read, this might be the book for you, but there is nothing there that stimulates the mind and the humor . . . well, I just didn't think it was "hilarious" as some call it. In my opinion, it was a bit of slapstick humor - John Grisham should stick to what he does best which is devise wonderful plots with a twist at the end. This book had no plot, no twist, no evidence of brain activity.

I loved the book and probably part of the reason is that I also joined the Peace Corps and spent my first Christmas away from home in a foreign country. (I also met, fell in love and brought home a wonderful young man to marry, but that's another story.) I would have been shocked to come home, expecting the traditional Christmas only to find my parents leaving on a cruise. I loved Grisham's writing, I felt the discomfort of Luther's wet, cold feet, in the beginning right on through to the warmness of his ultimate gift to his neighbor.

Skipping Christmas was a book I couldnt stop reading it at times and it always cracked me up.

I truly enjoyed this easy read. I suppose I've always dreamed of skipping the comercial aspect of Christmas. That's probably why I got very disgusted when the Kranks decided to trash all their holiday plans for their daughter and I put the book away for the moment. However I couldn't resist the temptaion to see how things turned out. Maybe they could have handled things differently, but in the end it's family and friends that count.

THIS BOOK SUCKS!

Skipping Christmas was a delightful reprieve from a hectic day. It reinforced my belief that Christmas should be celebrated by everyone in one way or another. The celebration of life should never be given up.

Skipping Christmas is absolutly hilarious! I enjoyed this book so much I couln't help but read it again. The book really put me in the spirit of Christmas and I can't wait to enjoy all the hustle and bustle that the holiday season brings. It will make a wonderful stocking stuffer friends and family this year.

When I was finished with this book I could not stop laughing for days thinking about it. I immediately gave the book to my sister inlaw then my brother and then my Aunt. They all had the same impressions of the book I did. They could not put it down.
