My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I picked this book up because I had the chance to watch and review the movie based on this book. It's funny how I meant to read this book for many years and never had the opportunity. I just read it today and it's a fast read of 122 pages in a small book. I love the idea behind the Christmas Jars of saving money in a jar all year long and giving it to someone in need at Christmas time. I think this could become a beautiful tradition for families.
In comparing the book and movie, I have to say I liked the movie better. There are major differences between them and I'm not going to say what they are because I like to keep my reviews spoiler feel. Let's just say that the movie has deeper character development and a happier ending while still staying true to the spirit of the novel. I did like this novel and I feel it is a great little book to read quickly during the busy Christmas season.
