Synopsis#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In this classic tale for modern times, beloved storyteller John Grisham offers a hilarious look at the chaos and frenzy that have become part of our holiday tradition. The inspiration for the film Christmas with the Kranks, starring Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis Imagine a year without Christmas. No crowded malls, no corny office parties, no fruitcakes, no unwanted presents. That's just what Luther and Nora Krank have in mind when they decide that, just this once, they'll skip the holiday altogether. Theirs will be the only house on Hemlock Street without a rooftop Frosty, they won't be hosting their annual Christmas Eve bash, they aren't even going to have a tree. They won't need one, because come December 25 they're setting sail on a Caribbean cruise. But as this weary couple is about to discover, skipping Christmas brings enormous consequences--and isn't half as easy as they'd imagined., #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * In this classic tale for modern times, beloved storyteller John Grisham offers a hilarious look at the chaos and frenzy that have become part of our holiday tradition.

A+++ Skipping Christmas and Playing for Pizza!
Excellent Writing - same for "Playing for Pizza" by same author who showed his wide range of writing through a couple of very funny books, even though his lawyer books are excellent! We all need a laugh once in awhile. but you would not expect to get it from a mostly serious writer like John Grisham. I loved those books so much I am sending them to my daughter in N.C. instead of putting them back up on ebay.

The Book is better than the Movie
The book that "Christmas with the Kranks" is based on, John Gresham's "Skipping Christmas" is a much better and interesting story than the screen play based on the book and used for the movie. I know, that's a shocker, but it really is a more in-depth and interesting story without some of the goofy plot twists they added to the movie.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
