" Definitely mindless, but alas still a cute story about Christmas. "
— Holly, 1/3/2011 -
" It's a cute Christmas read and a quick one. I enjoyed the first half of the book - it's a sweet story of Klaus before he became Santa Claus. But I could have stopped when he leaves for the True North and been satisfied. Still, it's worth reading once when you're in that Christmas mood. "
