Luther and Nora Krank are fed up with the chaos of Christmas. The endless shopping lists, the frenzied dashes through the mall, the hassle of decorating the tree... where has all the joy gone? This year, celebrating seems like too much effort. With their only child off in Peru, they decide that just this once, they'll skip the holidays. They spend their Christmas budget on a Caribbean cruise set to sail on December 25, and happily settle in for a restful holiday season free of rooftop snowmen and festive parties.
But the Kranks soon learn that their vacation from Christmas isn't much of a vacation at all, and that skipping the holidays has consequences they didn't bargain for...

笔墨轻松，适合英语学习和趣味阅读。会想象自己能不能不过年出去玩，答案是无论如何也做不到，中国人文化里就不允许抛下亲人出去自己浪。。现在也有挺多年轻人是酱紫的，挺佩服的。当然前提是你得有钱。。。 刷完了，平均一页好像一个生词。。不得不说，结局一点都不意外，我期待的是他们旅游了。。
评分浓浓的人情味
评分Very easy to read.
评分grisham的讽刺与幽默还是很有特色的，对轻喜剧的尝试也值得肯定。只不过这类题材本来就不可能有太多让人思考的东西。而且这个故事展示的邻居实在是太讨人厌了。
