Pretty good, but seemed to be trying too hard to find interesting info. Probably would have been stronger as a shorter book.

Like Randy, I felt like I was trapped and couldn't get up...

This book was a fun and insightful read. “A Christmas Story” has always been a favorite of mine, so I loved going through this book, reading it, and seeing all the photos. I highly recommend it if you love the movie. (I also recommend the book, A Christmas Story, which the movie was based on.

A Christmas Story is a favorite movie mostly for nostalgic reasons. This movie came out when I was in middle school and was the go to movie at school for post mid-terms/ pre Christmas break.
I enjoyed re watching the movie as I was reading this book and finding out lots of fun facts about the making of the movie. I kind of want to visit the Christmas Story House (museum) in Cleveland now,though I will never buy any licensed merchandise after reading this and seeing how some of the characters were swindled out of their cut of profits on merch.
If you have even a passing fondness for the movie this book is worth checking out for all the interesting, but little known nuggets like: who almost played the iconic characters of Ralphie and “The old man”? Did you know there was a sequel, a Broadway show? What ever happened to the actor who played Ralphie? The movie almost never got made so how did it become such a classic?
