shighley 's review for:

3.0

I liked the beginning of the book, and the opportunity to learn as I read, but as I read more and credulity was stretched more and more (yeah, I know this was about Santa, after all), I couldn't take it anymore. My first clue was when Attila the Hun joined up with them, and by the time Amelia Earhart ditched her flight to join Santa, I'd had more than enough.
I don't mind reading revisionist history at times, but now I'm afraid I'll be confused on some things. When I'm finished with a book, I love it when I went to read more to learn more, but not to have to fact check. I give this a 3 due to the clever idea and research it involved, but the rating kept sinking as I read on.
