Politically Correct Holiday Stories: For an Enlightened Yuletide Season by James Finn Garner
3.0
This book is all right, but not the most rewarding thing I've ever read. A couple of changes struck me as a bit funny, but, as far as comedy goes, it could have been pushed a bit harder.
While not a very long book, it doesn't have as much punch to it as I think the bedtime stories one does. I also didn't care for the spellings of "womyn", "wommon" and "persuns" - it just wasn't necessary to have such archaic spellings when, in the same stories, they made entirely modern jokes and referred to twenty year old Volvos.
I think the retelling of Rudolph was the most successful of the stories, and while not funny exactly, it was a great interpretation.
