I read this slight Christmas story as an unabridged audiobook in the balmy month of June. I must say that reading this in the summer did not make me all gushy and wistful for the hectic Christmas season which I suppose is the point of this book.Luther Krank is quite disgusted by the commercialism of...

I enjoyed this one, although it is certainly not a typical Grisham book! Light, funny, a quick read.
