Easy read and can pick up and put down.

Like the characters and descriptions. Sure bouts of mayhem and holiday heartwarming ending. Just a book that brings the meaning of the holidays to light.

Fun

I loved this story. Life can be messy and sometimes stressful. This story tells how even if you try to escape living life the universe can give you a curve ball.

well a bit of a departure for James Patterson, he and his co-author handle this really well.

It's dumb, but entertaining.

The silliness of assuming the characters didn't know what was coming after the first couple of days was too much for me. It is farfetched by any stretch of the imagination but it was a light listen for a holiday road trip. I would never recommend it though.
