"Clever...fun to read." (Publishers Weekly)
Featured Article: Christmas with the Kranks—Book vs. Movie
John Grisham may be best known for his legal thrillers, but he's also been known to deviate from form every now and then and write something completely different. Skipping Christmas is one such book. It was adapted into a 2004 film called Christmas with the Kranks, starring Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis, which gained the story an even wider audience. If you're familiar with the film but don’t know much about its literary inspiration, read on.

What did you love best about Skipping Christmas?
I read this book when it came out, several years ago and have read it every year since. I love the message you can get out of the book and at the climax of the book, I always break out in a huge grin. Definitely a favorite of mine and always helps to get me in the Christmas Spirit whenever I listen.What about Dennis Boutsikaris’s performance did you like?
I love the slightly cynical intonation the performer gives to the main character in this book. He reads it as I hear it in my mind.If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
hehe. Christmas with the Kranks? Actually, probably not. The movie does not do this book justice and the casting was not correct for how I envision the characters.Christmas Tradition for me!
