Review

This was the worst book I have ever read. IT IS SOOOOOOOOO SAAAAAADDDDDDD!!!!!!! I think I cried every chapter!

The book was about a man who works non-stop and his home life is falling apart; and a boy who is losing his mother to cancer… TALK ABOUT SAD!!! And the little boy wants to buy his mom shoes, WHY IS HE BUYING SHOES!!!! WHY NOT BUY HER MEDICINE!!!! I MEAN COME ON!!!

The book is extremely sad and depressing and I never want to read it again. (This book is the most miserable book I’ve ever read… WHO WRITES THIS STUFF????)

Over all, this book was horrible. The only thing that I could imagine that would be worse is if someone makes a song or movie about it…

#WorstChristmasStoryEver!

 

Pros

  • I guess it’s a sweet story…

Cons

  • THIS IS THE SADDEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ!!!!

Sometimes, the things that can change your life will cross your path in one instant-and then, in a fleeting moment, they’re gone. But if you open your eyes, and watch carefully, you will believe….

Robert is a successful attorney who has everything in life-and nothing at all. Focused on professional achievement and material rewards, Robert is on the brink of losing his marriage. He has lost sight of his wife, Kate, their two daughters, and ultimately himself. Eight year old Nathan has a beloved mother, Maggie, whom he is losing to cancer. But Nathan and his family are building a simple yet full life, and struggling to hold onto every moment they have together. A chance meeting on Christmas Even brings Robert and Nathan together-he is shopping for a family he hardly knows and Nathan is shopping for a mother he is soon to lose. In this one encounter, their lives are forever altered as Robert learns an important lesson: sometimes the smallest things can make all the difference. The Christmas Shoes is a universal story of the deeper meaning of serendipity, a tale of our shared humanity, and of how a power greater than ourselves can shape, and even save, our lives.
