Book Reviews of A Christmas Story: The Book That Inspired the Hilarious Classic Film
Book Review: #1 for Christmas
Summary: 4 Stars
I gave this book to my 34 year old son for Christmas, and he loved it! He did have fond memories of the TV movie, so that made it a little nostalgic, which is always nice at Christmas. He thought the book version was just as good if not better--very funny and sweet, loads of fun to read, and the message of the story was very meaningful to him. Didn't we all have special childhood experiences that continue to hold some mystery and magic for us, and that we enjoy re-visiting when we're reminded of it? The feeling of deja and nostalgia about our youthful years is kind of hard to describe, but it's very special. I highly recommend it for yourself or for a gift.
