A friend loaned me this book just before the holidays and I absolutely loved it. I actually sent a few copies to friends because it was just "laugh out loud" funny. I highy recommend it if you want something silly and lighthearted to read.

This book cracked me up...I actually laughed outloud as if I was at a movie...I hope they do make a cute christmas movie out of this, with Chevy Chase as Luther!!!! Great read and quick too!!!

This book was really great. It was the perfect book to read just before the Holidays. I didnt put it down. It was a very quick read so no one should pass this book by. Skipping Christmas is one of my favorite books and I cant wait to enjoy it again!

Insane book, thats about all I can say. It is awsome BABY with a capital A

Overall I thought the book deserved a 3 or 4. Luther Krank does complain an awful lot. His wife is semi foolish and a push over. He is quite selfish and over-the-top mean. The idea of going on a cruise was a pretty smart idea though. But he hordes it over everyones head. He internalized it all saying that all will secretly admire him and wish they were going as well.

He does seem to be in a depressive state. And it doesnt seem just to be entirely about the spent money (which is an awful lot to spend without seeing a return on the investment). Maybe he is suffering from a mid-life crisis or something like that.

In any case he is a grouch and an overalll mean person. His character shows one ounce of decency when he invites his neighbors to go on the cruise in his stead. Other than that, he is a very miserable man. In some ways, I thought that Grishim had hit the "nail on the head" with his characterization of Krank and for that purpose, the book receives a 3 out of 5 rating from me.

A good lighthearted book that, depsite it's name, will put you in the holiday spirit! Highly recommended.

I liked the book but it was well below Grisham's standards. I wish the book could have been a little longer. As far as the funny side is concerned, some of his earlier legal stuff were more humoo packed in them than this one.

I loved this book. Great, strong characters. I laughed out loud. If you grew up in a family that celebrates holidays this is a must read. You'll want to share it with all your relatives and friends. Skipping Christmas is something you don't want to miss! Enjoy!
