Why is this book soooo great?
I read this book right after Christmas and I found out that it applyed quite well to me. The fact is our family went on a cruise for Christmas also, but we didn't exactly skip. That's why I think this book sooooooo hilarious. The funny part is when they are frantically trying to put together a Christmas party in 4 hours before their daughter gets home. The movie was exactly like the book, so I suggest that you go see the movie right after reading the book!

This was my first Grisham book. I laughed until I cried! I can't wait to start reading his new novel THE BROKER!

it was boring to me, but i'm sure it geared more towards the middle aged
