I listened to this audiobook one day while driving in my car. It was so funny that I laughed until I cried, which is not a good thing while you're driving! I love this book so much that I can't wait for Christmas this year, so I can listen to it again, and I am going to buy the Hardcover edition as well, just because I love it so much! I have enjoyed many of Grisham's books, but this is by far my abosolute favorite. I would love to see it made into a movie, if it could be done exactly the way it is written!

This book was absolutely impossible to put down. Thank heavens it wasn't long... A great story about good intentions gone bad and a community redeeming itself. A story can't have an unpleasant ending! It would be interesting with an alternative ending, one that is not so "Christmasy".
George Stowe (05/19/02)

This book expressed exactly what I would often like to do at Christmas. So much madness, so little Christ. But also, what happened to Luther would surely happen to me in some form or another. A great read, with both humer and sensitivity. May be Grisham's best.
