John Grisham is an amazing writer and this book had all the possibility of becoming a holiday favorite of mine....but it fell short. Like a modern day scrooge, the main focus of the book is "bah-humbugging" until the very end. I don't like the main character much...he's rude, selfish, and only thinks about money. It's not the skipping Christmas that was hard to relate to, it was the main character's rude and selfish behavior...his complete and utter negativity. I was really hoping for that grand finish, the turn around where he realizes what an idiot he has been. While there is a glimmer(the last chapter), I find it not worth the other 170 pages...I just wanted to hit this scrooge over the head with his preverbial cane!
