Not a great book in my opinion. OK story and good ending but the characters are just unlikeable. Also, a few times the story was problematic. Talk about drunk men leering on women and how "dark" the daughters boyfriend was going to be since he's from Peru. Just sort of rubbed me up the wrong way and gave me a bad taste in my mouth meaning I couldn't enjoy it

The movie "Christmas With The Kranks" is based off this book. Nothing too serious or deep, just a goofy Christmas story. It's basically exactly like the movie, and loved every minute of it.

Definitely light hearted and amusing... The Kranks decide that instead of spending money on everything Christmas, they will NOT do Christmas and go on a cruise instead. Hilarity ensues as they deal with all the neighbors and community members who keep forcing the holiday on them. A very short story about friendship and holiday that is sweet.

It'd be a perfect read for Christmas. It's unlike the other Grisham books; no crime to solve nor lawyers in this one. The main character is a little annoying and out of touch, but the final message is about the generosity of Christmas.

This is a very quick read. Under 200 pages. Told in a dual 3rd person POV. There is a movie that is loosely taken from this book called "Christmas with the Kranks." After reading this story I personally feel the movie is better. Actors Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis make this so much more funny than the actual story did. I enjoy watching the movie every year and laughing. Reading this book I didn't laugh once and both Nora and Luther got on my nerves. Heck everyone in the booked sounds more selfish and annoying than the Movie comedy.
