A Christmas Blizzard Audiobook

" A quick, satisfying holiday read. Reminiscent of Dicken's Christmas Carol. "

" Hawaii-bound Chicago millionaire ends up stranded in his North Dakota hometown during a blizzard. Funny up to the point where his childhood friend appears as a wolf. Seems to be a re-work of "Christmas Carol"...has life-changing visit from hometown people from past, present, and future while bunking in ice shanty on frozen lake. First 80 pages are classic Keillor them it cripples along to an ending you can see from the beginning of the book. "

" While this book was a pleasant read, it contained material Mr. Keillor uses in his monologues and public appearances. He's an excellent story teller; guess I just wanted somewhat fresher material. "

" Sort of a strange Christmas story. Rich guy dislikes Christmas. Goes to his hometown to visit his dying uncle and has strange visions which ultimately make him like Christmas again. "

" I love Garrison Keillor and was truly disappointed in this story...I did NOT find it to be a modern day Christmas Carol as it was billed! "

" Keillor is unhindered by NPR's delicate disposition in this Christmastime tale. Beautifully bizarre, laugh-out-loud funny. A lighthearted chestnut with a classic message. Appropriate for any time of year, really. "

" One word = unusual "

" Classic non-Wobegon Keillor, that is, a little weird, a little funny, and a lot of fun. "

" The biggest piece of foolishness I've ever wasted my time reading! "

" This was what I call a fluff book. It was sweet for the season but unremarkable otherwise. "

" A very funny start, but a muddled finish. "

" boring. I read some reviews that had said it was so funny, I don't know where the funny spot was, i was never able to find it. The only redeeming part of this book, was that it was short so I only wasted one day on it. "

" Garrison Keillor is...quirky...and I always enjoy reading his books. I especially enjoyed this one because I have a personalized signed copy. :) "

" Quite pedestrian and uncaptivating. "

" An interesting modern day rendition of A Christmas Carol. "

" I gave this until the main character got to an ice fishing shack in North Dakota. I was thinking it would be like Skipping Christmas by John Grisham when I started. It wasn't. Seemed pointless. I stopped. "

" Boring. Did not enjoy. Could not get into all the symbolism. "

" One of my three Christmas reads this past year. Reading it was like listening to his show. My least favorite of the three. "

" This is a quick, funny read to curl up on the couch under a blanket with on a cold winter day. "

" Witty and well-written, but not at all what I expected. This is a slightly surreal tale reminiscent of A Christmas Carol, but set in a very quirky, very small town in North Dakota. Filled with oddball characters and light political satire, it's not my favorite holiday book, but I enjoyed it. "

" An odd little book, funny and touching. A Christmas Carol kind of story. "

" This was the first book that I have read by Garrison Keillor. I sort of got the impression that he had written this book after having had a really bad dream, but maybe I just didn't quite get the humour or symbolism in the book. "

" A great Christmas Eve read -- I could hear Garrison Keilor's voice, and the zaniness of the characters and plot line had me chortling. A great Dickensian message was woven through as well! I recommend it for next year. "

" Humorous story with typical Garrison Keillor wit. Easy read and interesting plot twist to end the story. Would recommend for light reading. "

" By the time I finished this one I had to upgrade my 3 star to 4 stars. Now on to more books... "
