"A quick Christmas read. It does help us to remember what the season is about inspite of problems, sorrows etc. At least this book by the author is something dealing with current times. Its a little predictable, but still a good book to read this time of year."
"I heard this a long time ago and I really don't remember much about it, but it was ok. Nothing to really write home about. Oh, I was on my mission at the time I read it (or listened to it on tape)."
