This older book of Grisham's shows another side of his writing. HUMOR. I couldn't stop laughing in a number of places in the book. The Kranks decided to skip Christmas and go on a cruise. The neighborhood had a fit because he broke the rules. Then at the last moment daughter decided to come home with her fiancé. The rest of the book is the last 24 hours before her arrival as the Kranks tried to prepare for her arrival with all the traditional decorations. I laughed out loud so hard my stomach hurt. It's a wonderful stress breaker. Fantastic read!
